Evelyn Grace Rochfort Gardiner (14 November 1913 – 1 June 1992) was an English beautician and remedial make-up artist who was a pioneer in the use of make-up on the blind and disfigured. She began working for Max Factor in 1936 when it opened a salon in London and was its first British make-up artist. Gardiner learnt how to disguise facial disfigurements and scarring with make-up from Max Factor Sr. and worked with patients sent to her by the plastic surgeon Harold Gillies for remedial camouflage make-up. She helped women who were blinded during the Second World War and became depressed because they could not see and thus not able to apply their make-up in their rehabilitation. Gardiner also developed a close association with the plastic surgeon Archibald McIndoe and members of his "Guinea Pig Club" to disguise Royal Air Force members who had suffered the most severe scarring, and taught a class of blind teenage girls skin care and make-up at Dorton House in Sevenoaks and at Linden Lodge School for the Blind in Wimbledon.
