“Reggie was a tremendous makeup artist. I was in awe when I first met him—his work preceded him and I knew I was in the presence of a creative legend,” Glassman said. “He really could ‘beat a face,’ as he would say, but he was also such a comedian. On a photo shoot, or backstage at The Oprah Winfrey Show, he’d keep spirits up and get the energy going—and, boy, did he have great stories from his years working with the greats.”
“雷吉是一位出色的化妝師。格拉斯曼說(shuō):“當(dāng)我第一次見(jiàn)到他時(shí)，我就感到敬畏——他的作品比他更早，我知道我面前是一位創(chuàng)造性的傳奇人物。”“就像他自己說(shuō)的那樣，他真的可以‘打臉’，但他也是一個(gè)喜劇演員。在拍攝照片時(shí)，或者在奧普拉·溫弗瑞秀的后臺(tái)，他總是精神抖擻，精力充沛——而且，孩子們，他和那些偉大的人一起工作的那些年里，他有很多偉大的故事。”

According to the site, Wells contributed to some of the most beloved The Oprah Magazine covers, such as the first-ever May-June 2000 issue and the May 2010 10th-anniversary cover. 
據(jù)該網(wǎng)站介紹，威爾斯為《奧普拉雜志》的一些最受歡迎的封面做出了貢獻(xiàn)，比如2000年5月至6月的第一期和2010年5月的10周年紀(jì)念封面。

威爾斯的其他明星云集的客戶(hù)包括碧昂斯、艾瑞莎·富蘭克林、米歇爾·奧巴馬、黛安·卡羅爾和哈莉·貝瑞。

Wells attended Baltimore City College and Maryland Institute College of Art and became a city art teacher, according to the Banner. In the 1970s, he moved to New York City, where he soon became a recognizable name in the makeup industry — he worked with Glamour, Harper’s
Bazaar and Essence, where he did Winfrey’s makeup for her cover, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Working primarily with Black women, Wells was known to often create his own foundation and powder shades to match the skin tones of his clients.

“What I learned from Oprah is why I am doing this today,” he said in a 2017 interview for The Baltimore Sun. “I’m doing this for the forgotten people of families. I’m taking unknown mothers and grandmothers and giving them the type of makeovers that Oprah would give.”
他在2017年接受《巴爾的摩太陽(yáng)報(bào)》采訪時(shí)說(shuō):“我從奧普拉身上學(xué)到的，就是我今天做這件事的原因。”“我這樣做是為了那些被家庭遺忘的人。我要找一些不知名的母親和祖母，給她們做奧普拉會(huì)做的那種化妝。”
