When you are a good storyteller listeners don’t ask questions as they are often far too entertained. This is certainly the case with Jamal Lyon who was broke one short season ago and now he is Pepsi’s leading man. The visual image that Accattato creates mesmerizes forcing them to fall in love with the show’s storyline.
You cannot replace experience with talent. Accattato has over 30 years of experience and has worked with everyone from Jamie Foxx to President Barak Obama.
Experience makes experts. At the Golden Globes, Empire star Taraji P. Henson had to remind the teleprompter that she was an expert as she refused to cut her acceptance speech short.
Cookie Lyon |
We saw Cookie’s hood side in her epic cat fight with Anika. Empire creator Lee Daniels says that Anika’s makeup must always be flawless and Accattato has delivered nothing less. Anika’s makeup is so perfect that fans have bombarded her demanding details on the cosmetics she uses to tell the story of Anika Calhoun.

While Anika’s makeup is flawless, the issues she’s dealing with on the show have led many fans to conclude that she pushed Rhonda!?
Rhonda Lyon |
For Rhonda’s husband Andre, Accattato prioritizes authenticity. Men typically do not wear makeup in real life therefore she does not use makeup on the show’s male actors.
Lucious Lyon |
Lucious’ shaved head symbolizes his aggression and toughness as he attempts to regain control of Empire, the company that was taken from him by his son Hakeem. Similar to his father Hakeem loves hip-hop. Accattato uses an old-school ’80s look on Hakeem including a slice in his eyebrow.

Karen Lynn Accattato will continue to work intimately with our favorite Empire stars, transforming their captivating journeys through her skillful storytelling capabilities.
