Wayne Alan Goss (born 4 March 1978) is an English makeup artist, YouTube personality and entrepreneur. Best known for his "Wayne Goss" channel on YouTube, he is the creator and owner of the self-eponymous makeup brush line launched in September 2013. As of November 2016, Goss' main YouTube channel had over 2.7 million subscribers and had had 344 million views.
Born in the town of Bridgwater in Somerset, England, as the first child to Alan and Bernie Goss, at eighteen months old he was fostered to his maternal uncle and his wife and raised in Burnham-on-Sea. Despite relating the development of his interest in makeup at a young age, Goss has said in various interviews that suffering from acne at the age of 20 was the spur to his launching a career in the makeup industry.
Goss has said that he started out as self-taught by reading makeup books written by contemporary artists Way Bandy and Kevyn Aucoin. He then furthered his study in makeup artistry in London and trained professionally as a makeup artist. Goss works freelance without a portfolio and takes bookings on the recommendation of existing clients.
Goss began publishing videos on YouTube under the username Gossmakeupartist in 2009. Unlike makeup tutorials commonly found on YouTube, Goss' videos incorporate other features such as instructing viewers in different ways of makeup application for the corresponding face shapes aiming to provide a user-friendly approach to makeup. His tutorial on how to contour and highlight like Kim Kardashian has over ten million views as of 2016.
Goss has signed with the multi-channel networks on YouTube, Kin Community, since 2013. His main channel is the most subscribed channel of a male makeup artist and is ranked 33rd on the most subscribed how to & style YouTube channel category, and has been honored with several awards, including Refinery29's Beauty Innovator Award for Must-Watch Beauty Vlogger.
In 2012, Goss established his second YouTube channel, Gossmakeupchat, where he regularly posts product reviews and videos discussing other topics. The channel has over 400,000 subscribers as of September 2016.
