Jean-Michel Basquiat himself created the makeup's street art design. He is a renowned American artist that held exhibitions in many museums across the globe. 

Some of the other cosmetic brands that paid tribute to Street Art are Yves Saint Laurent, Bond No. 9, Maybelline and Mac. Paris-based street artists JonONe and Contemporary street artist Chris Riggs also lend their talents for Jin Soon and Guerlain.
