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.
The first product I ever used was my mom's foundation. When I was younger, I had pimples, so I just slapped it on and hoped it would fix the situation. It never did, because it was about 18 shades too light for me.
The worst beauty advice that I have ever taken has been from people who have told me that sunscreen isn't necessary. Not true!
I'm self-taught, and fake eyelashes definitely took the longest to master. I glued my eyes shut at least 15 times.
I love the eyebrow pencils. I do my brows every day. I won't leave my house without my brows! My beauty disaster from childhood was trying to look like Kate Moss and plucking all my brows off.
I hate when women wear the wrong foundation color. It might be the worst thing on the planet when they wear their makeup too light.
We make such terrible mistakes with visual choices about beauty.
It's really easy with makeup to look like you're trying too hard, like a clown. That's not what you want!
I've had some real hair disasters.
Trimming is tricky. If you trim the eyebrow too much, you ruin the arch. Eyebrow hair has a curl and when you brush and cut it, it's easy to snip it too short.
I trust my makeup artist to apply dark lipstick, but I get nervous about reapplying it, so I'll just use gloss instead. The last time I tried to reapply dark lipstick, I dropped it on my dress and it left a spot.
Once, when I was 14 I thought easily the most glamorous thing was white eyeliner inside the eye and then heavy lip liner round the mouth. I think I looked repellent.
