If I hadn't been a woman, I'd be a drag queen for sure. I like all that flair and I'd be dressing up in them high heels and putting on the big hair. I'd be like Ru Paul.
Shooting a movie should be fun! It's not a real job. It can be hard, but at the end of the day, we're dressing up and playing pretend.
I'm very interested in makeup and fashion and beauty.
I'm hoping I'll eventually get to be a beauty blogger myself because I do my own makeup, and I have for years.
The first time I made myself up, I was looking at my reflection in the mirror and it wasn't me looking back. It allowed me to do things I couldn't do as myself. I found out how powerful that was and how much that can mean to an actor.
I'm a drag queen who is thoughtful and serious about drag in addition to being funny, ambitious, and glamourous.
I feel like I'm pretty good at doing my own makeup. I've watched a lot of people do my makeup, so I've been able to gauge what looks good and what doesn't.
I do my own make-up a lot of the time, and I'm very involved in what I wear.
I started doing makeup to make a living. Then I said, You're not supposed to be putting powder on other people. You're supposed to be powdering yourself.
I'll admit, I'm not very skilled with applying makeup, myself, and the natural approach has always worked for me just fine.
I am intimidated by that eyeliner in a pot. You have to take a brush and wet it and then dip it in and get it straight. It's just a mess.
Throughout the years I've been working as a model, I've gathered lots of information on the process of creating fashion without even trying.
I'm a drag queen. I want colors that get attention. The world does not need another palette with eight tans and a blue.
I've said this so many times but there's a magic when you have a really good actor in a really good makeup.
For four years, I worked as one of the general shop crew on movies like 'Naked Lunch' and 'Arachnophobia.' I made lots of bugs.
I get to experiment with a lot of looks with my character so that's really fun for me. It's like getting to paint a new canvas everyday.
I never let people see me without makeup. And it's not an insecurity thing. The perk of being a girl is being able to wear makeup and dress up. It's another artistic outlet. And the 45 minutes it takes me to get ready... is very therapeutic for me. It's hard to start my day without that.
In a pinch, I could always get work in pictures as a makeup artist.
Doing makeup was a way to create characters, only I got tired of doing it for other people.
My favorite makeup look was for my 'Eyes Wide Open' video done by Torsten Witte. It was so dramatic and definitely captured the magic of the video.
I think that it should be every woman's choice, depending on how she feels comfortable. I can't think of any objective reason why you should wear makeup unless it makes you feel good.
I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
To be honest, whenever I go to shoots, or I'm on set, it really makes makeup special and allows me to have so much more fun with it - I don't wear it on an everyday basis, because I like my skin to breathe.
My younger daughter really loves makeup. She's quite good artistically. I could see her going into something possibly behind the camera - whether it's in film or still camera for editorial stuff - but she's very taken with makeup, and she's really quite talented for as young as she is.
At 15, I was modeling. I had to do my own hair and makeup. I also made my own clothes because I grew up in South Africa, where fashion was six months behind because of the seasons.
