When you work in the United States Senate, and you are around people of all different ideas and beliefs, you realize that what our Founding Fathers did that was so genius, is that they made the Senate the place where compromises are supposed to happen because of the makeup of the Senate.
There are several peculiarities that I share with children which, like having no front teeth, are perhaps more acceptable in the very young, but which, for better or worse, seem to be a part of my makeup.
I usually put on a lip and some mascara before I head out of the house. It makes me feel good. I started experimenting with makeup back in high school. One of my friends, who shall remain nameless, shoplifted a bunch of drugstore cosmetics for me, and I would just play with it in my room at night.
I don’t always feel sexy even though I have to look it, and I’ve just learned to go into on-and-off mode. I’m a mom at home, and then I go into work, and it’s nice to have that contrast. I see a different person in the mirror when I’m at work with hair and makeup than when I’m home.
I despise women wearing too much makeup. It hides their actual beauty.
British actors wear wigs a lot. I find it to be a nice ritual at the end of the day, take the wig off, clean the makeup off, go home, leave work behind me.
I don’t have any weird gimmicks. I do put on lipstick for the show. That’s what separates it. ‘Cause I don’t wear makeup at all… That’s probably the closest thing I have to a routine.
I’m an only child. Mostly raised by my father outside of Saratoga, doing martial arts and snowmobiling. I wore sweaters, jeans and sneakers. I was more interested in four-wheeling in the Catskills than doing my hair and makeup at 7 A.M. before school.
I think I was about 14 when I did my first makeup. I was like, ‘Wow, I really like this what do you call it? Makeup thing?’
My personal style is really comfy: flats, tennis shoes, ponytails, no makeup.
I like to keep my hair and makeup routines easy and simple on race days.
One of the biggest misconceptions that a woman has is that a man has to accept her the way she is. No, we don’t. I don’t know who told you that. We like the bright and shiny. If you stop wearing the makeup, stop putting on nail polish, stop wearing high heels, you’ll lose us.
I love doing hair and makeup and making ‘Video Star’ videos with my friend, Kendall. I also love to draw. But my life is dance, dance and more dance. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
I think the skin is the most important thing. If you take care of your skin, you don’t really need much makeup.
These people that dress up in spandex trousers with all the extraordinary makeup – I find it incredibly repulsive, always have.
My top styling tips for brides are, first and foremost, to be careful not to go overboard with makeup. The goal is to look like yourself, just a bit enhanced!
For filming, we have to wear a lot more makeup than we usually would. At night, I have to go home and take off all the makeup and take my hair out from my bun and just get out of the dancewear and everything.
Growing up in the ’70s, it was only a few years before that when men started to grow their hair long. And in the ’70s, people were pushing the envelope a little farther, with men having even more style and piercing both their ears and wearing makeup.
Some days, I know beauty techniques like it’s my job, and other days I can’t do my makeup for the life of me. So I find it easiest to just put on mineral veil and a little mascara and call it a day. I use Physician’s Formula and Bare Minerals every day of my life.
I love to roll out of bed and throw something on. I had this roommate in college who would get up almost 2 hours before class to do hair and makeup. That’s not for me.
I had no connections, and the fashion world was a closed elite. So my mother made appointments for herself with three top Parisian makeup artists and spoke highly about me… she was my first publicist!
It’s always the guys who have absolutely nothing to give that start screaming and yelling about their makeup and trailers. It’s a diversion so you don’t pay attention to them, because they stink!
It’s our hearts and brains that we should exercise more often. You can put on all the makeup you want, but it won’t make your soul pretty.
No makeup can substitute for faces that have actually been under the sun.
In our society, women are valued for their sexual attraction. I’d like to get away from the sex symbol idea of what beauty is. Actually, that’s probably the farthest thing from beauty, because it’s makeup and hair, it’s pouty lips – it’s not real.
Anyone who knows or works with me knows I don’t believe there’s such a thing as a ‘mistake.’ With that in mind, I celebrate all aspects of makeup and find something beautiful in all ‘trends.’
The hardest pill for me to swallow has been receiving recognition, getting dressed up, going to events. That’s the part that has always terrified me. You can see dozens of photos where I have zero hair and makeup and I’m wearing my own jeans and T-shirt, because I was not that interested in that side of it.
For my everyday look, I don’t like going anywhere without eye makeup.
I don’t triple cleanse if I’m not working. If I don’t have a bunch of makeup on, I’ll do one wash, and then I’m done.
No matter what you’re doing, whether it’s a makeup tutorial or an interview or a lip sync, performance is the essence of drag. It is gender performance. Being able to produce a performance is what a superstar has to do.
I don’t want to be about the way I look – my body, my hair, my makeup, all those boring things.
I was a tomboy growing up. Even after I started modeling at thirteen, I didn’t learn how to do my makeup.
There are no captions on red-carpet photos that say, ‘This girl trained for two weeks, she went on a juice diet, she has a professional hair and makeup person, and this dress was made for her.’ I just wish they’d say, ‘It ain’t the truth.’
I know a lot of people who don’t wash their makeup off of their face at night, and I think that’s the worst thing ever. So my thing is, if you ever have a day that you get dolled up, you have to wash all of that makeup off.
To me, it is not about the kind of gown or makeup you are wearing, it is about how confident you are and your beliefs.
What a woman does or does not do to her face is personal. And as with most other things, makeup or a lack thereof can serve as either a prison or a fortress commanded by the mind: you can become a slave to it, or it can set you free.
There were a lot of times people would do my makeup, and it would be awful, and I would be orange. Nothing matched. So then you learn how to do your own makeup. I watched a lot of YouTube videos when I was little and taught myself.
My mum is a fashion inspiration to me. She always goes to great lengths to get ready in the morning, from her hair to her makeup to her nails, and matching her suit with her shoes.
I love sitting in the makeup trailer and getting my makeup done in 15 minutes as opposed to an hour and a half.
I really believe in less is more in terms of makeup. I try not to wear too much foundation. I like to see my skin coming through. I like to see my freckles. I just think that’s the most youthful look.
On my Instagram, my boyfriend will take pictures of me, or someone else will take a picture of me, and they’re like, ‘What is wrong with her? She looks sick.’ And I’m like, ‘No I just don’t have two hours of hair and makeup, you guys.’
I like to make the best of what I have. I’m not a supermodel, clearly. I’m not a makeup artist. I’m a real woman.
I approach everyday personal beauty very naturally; I try to make it look like I’m not wearing makeup.
With ‘Little Accidents’, I spent probably three months working with a physical therapist, just understanding, starting from square one, about the neurological makeup of what happens when you have a stroke or what carbon monoxide poisoning does to your body.
If I’m going to see people, I won’t wear heavy makeup. It’s not attractive on me. When you see those pictures on my Instagram, they are usually for when I’m doing a photo shoot or an interview.
I was never into makeup when I was younger, and I still love not piling on the makeup every day, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve actually found makeup to be fun.
For makeup, I prefer to keep it simple for the daytime.
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.
My makeup artist likes to define my brows with Maybelline Brow Drama. We brush up on the part closest to my nose and it’s straight after that. Then, I like to use the matte brown shades from Maybelline The Nudes Palette to shadow my eyes, but without it looking like I’m wearing much.
By the end of Fashion Week my apartment is covered with makeup and clothes and shoes. Everything you can think of.
With confidence, I think anyone can get a dress and make it their own. I don’t think you should have it off the runway and wear it like they want you to wear it. You know, with their hair and makeup – their woman. I just think it’s boring. You have to make it your own. That’s what fashion is all about.
