Women of all ethnicities, complexions, and sizes want to be able to wear makeup and nice clothes. No one wants to go out and feel like they’re substandard or that there’s only one mold that they don’t fit.
Well-done eyelash extensions make you look beautiful and doe-eyed without a lick of makeup.
I guess my first big break was getting the hit show ‘Cavemen’ on ABC. People made fun of it, but it was a huge opportunity for me and moved me out to L.A., where I learned a ton about acting and how much I didn’t want to be in makeup for four hours a day.
During the day I don’t wear much makeup.
When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it’s not to get attention.
I think wearing less makeup can seem a bit scary for some women because we get so used to seeing ourselves look a certain way.
Every time I get my makeup professionally done, I take a photo.
My makeup wasn’t smeared, I wasn’t disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic?
Sometimes it’s a struggle to keep up with my own photos, where the lighting is perfect, the makeup is done, and the images have been retouched. That’s not what I see when I look in the mirror!
If I’m not working, I don’t even put makeup on.
I love that men like to look at women, that they love sports, that they need to know the inner workings of mechanical objects. I love the whole makeup of men – that they never mature and are always just boys.
One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.
When you a darker brunette and have pale skin like I do, it can wash you out a bit, so learning to contour is really helpful. I think you can be a bit more bold with eye makeup to define your eyes, and the same with lip colors – you can go for dark wine colors, which I love.
In prison, inmates sometimes use Cheetos and grape juice as makeup. I wouldn’t use that beauty regimen around Britney Spears – she might lick your face off!
It’s very, very important to wash off makeup. Like, really wash it off – I used to be really bad and leave some on when I would go to bed, but it’s so important to get it all off.
I’m minimalistic when it comes to makeup, so I’m a sucker for anything that’s multi-tasking. Aquaphor is my go-to product. It’s great for adding gloss to eyes and cheekbones, and amazing for soothing dry cuticles, too.
When I was 13 I would come to school with makeup and nail polish and I had teachers who would say, ‘We can’t teach you and you’re not allowed in class.’
I’ve always loved the way movie stars in the Forties looked when they were off set. Shot poolside or at their home, they always wore a matte red lipstick with practically no foundation – it was how they wore makeup in real life.
When your kids are 5 or 6, they already start playing with makeup. And I was the only mother in freakin’ elementary school getting called in to deal with makeup on her daughter.
On a normal day-to-day basis, I’m makeup free, hair in a bun, and I just go.
As Australians, we see the law as inherently bad. We have a real inherent distaste for authority in our makeup.
I always, always take my makeup off last thing at night, no matter what.
When I am an old woman, I will stop trying to look beautiful. I will quit wearing makeup and buying uncomfortable clothes because they look good. Maybe I will take up nudism.
I was first to break the news about the death of Lady Diana. The CNN team couldn’t get into makeup fast enough.
Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
I really like the Glycolic Cleansing Pads because they’re super easy. Sometimes it’s annoying to scrub your face with your hands, but these are just little pads, so I like that. I also really like the Kale Fix Moisturizer and Dragon’s Blood Fix Serum. The Dragon’s Blood is good for priming before your makeup.
I live in Paris, a city where you have a lot of stylish women, so I learned a lot by observing the women in the street. But my mother was always a big influence as well; she is always very feminine in high heels and perfectly cut dresses, with perfect makeup but never too much.
My favourite way of getting ready for a red carpet event is to turn the hair and makeup time into a bit of a pre-party. I use the same artists all of the time, so we know each other so well – so it’s a ‘hanging with friends’ session. Music, lots of laughing, and food – because you must eat before the event.
My skin is really sensitive, so I don’t use too much on it. I’m actually really bad at washing my face. I get so lazy at night so I usually buy the Neutrogena wipes and it gets all the makeup off and its easy and that’s the way to go. I hate washing my face, so I always use the wipes.
I try not to go to sleep with makeup, because I think it clogs your pores. I always wash my face with something that contains salicylic acid.
I feel I’m most beautiful when I have less makeup on and I’m at home with people surrounding me that support me, and I know they will never judge me or try to change me.
I take off my makeup with Ponds cold cream, and then I wash myself with gentle soap and water, and that’s it.
I’m really into the Tom Ford lipsticks. I was always afraid to wear lip color because I thought it made me look too masculine, but my makeup artist Fiona Stiles got me into wearing coral, orange-y colors from his line, and now I wear lipstick all of the time.
I may be the only actress in Hollywood who won’t need a face lift, because when I take off my makeup, I look so great compared to my characters!
I like writing better. Because I don’t have to wear makeup, I don’t have to be thin, and I don’t have to remember lines.
I’m a tomboy, but I really love doing my makeup – I find it relaxing and grounding. With ‘The Daily Show,’ it was easier for me to do my own makeup. In the beginning, I watched a lot of YouTube tutorials. You find a beauty blogger who has your skin tone, and pretty much everything they use will look good on you.
I like to make my husband like me more, and he likes it when I’m wearing makeup.
Starting at age 10, my personality and my identity all stemmed from employment. I had a set to be at. I was a certain way with the cameraman, a certain way with the makeup lady – a normal, routine environment.
I was at Pepperdine University in Malibu, and during my sophomore year, I played a dying burn victim on ‘ER.’ The makeup artist put burn makeup all over my body and I couldn’t move or eat for 12 hours. I lost 8 pounds that week.
Some people say, ‘If she’s so real, why does she call herself with a made-up name?’ Well, India is my real name. Or they say, ‘If she’s so real, why does she wear makeup?’ I didn’t know there was anything wrong with makeup.
When I’m doing my makeup, my favorite feature to enhance is the brows. They frame your face – good eyebrows are so important.
My mom is super fabulous, and I remember her telling me at 13, ‘You can start wearing makeup now.’ And the funny thing is, I didn’t take her up on it!
I didn’t want to create a makeup line for one ethnic group; it had to be multi-ethnic. To me, beauty is beauty. It doesn’t matter to me what colour the skin is.
I’m not someone that wants to control everything. I like to work with people that bring their talents to the project. So I like it when the makeup artist has a chance to do their work, when the dresser does their work, when the director does their work. They all come with stories and ideas to think about.
With modelling, a lot happens behind the scenes; all the fittings and hair and makeup. Then the runway takes two minutes – you just walk out and come back in!
Unfortunately, I have two facets to my makeup, and that is both scientific and artistic. By doing medicine, I was only answering one of those sides.
I’ve always been into cars. Cars are part of our genetic makeup. It’s unavoidable.
It’s one thing to read about how makeup is applied. It’s another thing altogether to watch it being put on.
I’m a responsible soul. But anyone who has the chance to spend time with me can see I’m still 22 years old. I love talking about clothes and guys and shoes and makeup. Plus, I’m obsessed with anything Hello Kitty!
If I wasn’t an actress, I’d never wear make up. I liked being ready in half an hour and arrive on the sets. Even for a no-makeup look, if one has a dark under-eye on a particular day, a little makeup is used. I had no scope for that as well.
I try to always take off makeup. But I’m also human, and sometimes I get lazy. However, I do try to encourage people to make it a habit.
During the mid-1990s, I collected thousands of hackberry fruits from trees all across the Midwest. I chemically analyzed each seed in order to formulate an equation relating the hackberry’s mineral makeup to the summer temperature under which it grew.
People can dress you the way they want, they can do your makeup the way they want, but they can never take away your voice.
I despise women wearing too much makeup. It hides their actual beauty.
Some makeup companies have really good recycling policies, and it’s worth finding out whether your favourites are among them. With MAC, for instance, you can take any of your old makeup containers into its shops, and the sweetest deal is that, once you’ve racked up six containers, you get a free lipstick or lip gloss.
