I learned up less is more.The makeup used to wear me and now I wear the makeup.
I wear make-up, and it gets a little bit thicker every year.
I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
Makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory.
I don't care how many followers you have, but if you're executing amazing makeup, and you're working day to day in the makeup world and really changing the makeup world, to me that qualifies as a pro.
I'm still so young, so I feel like people have wanted to keep me in a 'no-makeup' fresh type of look - sometimes artists are a little afraid of really putting the makeup on me.
A Rubik's cube is equal to a drag queen. It's really colorful, but I don't wanna do it.
Makeup is a way for a woman to look and feel like herself, only prettier and more confident
Celebs most likely pay someone to do their makeup for events, shows, red carpets, etc. My mind is blown sometimes when I see some of the horrendous contour or the uneven foundation.
At the worst it was eight hours of makeup, and I couldn't sit down; I was in this crouched position. [on the traumas of being an actor in full make up]
I played Simone, the French tutor for the daughter of a rich Manhattan couple, who goes to a costume ball as Marie Antoinette. While everyone else in 'CSI' races around in police gear, I had to wear a ballgown and bustle and two wigs. It was very heavy on the make-up side.
If the Cowardly Lion were on RuPaul’s Drag Race, so much of my childhood would be less nightmarish.
Back in 2006, when I started in the industry, there was a very old-school beauty mentality. We had to take headshots, and the makeup artists put on so much makeup - I swear I looked like a 48-year-old woman, and I was 22.
I felt like I was not a cute kid, and I remember seeing people transform. It was actually when my sister was in the beauty pageants and I was in some pageants. I didn't win any. I always got that like, participant trophy, but I fell in love with the way makeup could transform people.
Make your face not look like your face by piling on like the heaviest makeup you can find and do it with some kind of brush that won't judge you.
I believe that all women are pretty without makeup- but with the right makeup can be pretty powerful.
Faux-freckles are definitely a James Charles touch to any makeup look. I love adding them and have seen so many other people start trying them as well! They're so cute!
I wear no makeup in real life. I'm very simple. That may be why I go over the top for the red carpet. But otherwise, I'm very plain. I should make more of an effort, actually.
A little personal trick: apply brown eyeliner throughout the day and then just add a little black over the top for a night look.
I love playing with makeup. Makeup has become a thing where it's an art form. It's not a thing where you use it because you need to feel beautiful or because you don't like the way you look.
The makeup person said oh my God what happened to you? I looked like I was in a car accident.
I usually don't get this pretty at 3 o'clock.
It's funny because ever since 'American Idol,' people look at me without makeup and think I'm 15 years old - they think I'm really young and quiet and shy, and that I've never been in a relationship and have never been in love or anything.
Look at me - a big old black man under all of this makeup, and if I can look beautiful, so can you.
I really have fun making up. I have a good face for making up, good bones. I do the shapings, then the eyes. Then I put on mascara and I do something else. Then I put on mascara again and do something else. Then I put on more mascara and my whole face is completely made up.
