I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
My face changes when I wear make-up; I don't recognise myself.
My big challenge, I will say, is contouring. God help us all with contouring.
I definitely do not think of makeup as, like, a validation type thing. For me, it's a creative outlet and an art form. It's not like, 'Oh my God, I need to feel pretty.' It's like, 'This is so cool. I just created art on my face.
One of the makeup artists once dyed my dog blue with vegetable blue.
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.
Our goal at Huda Beauty is to inspire anyone and everyone to create their own idea of beautiful with all of the products we offer.
Technically, a makeup artist's canvas is the face and body. The difference is that my painting of makeup is integrated into the painting of the flesh and not on top of it. I think in some ways it is more difficult to expressively deploy makeup.
Hair and make-up people don't get enough credit for what they do. It's not just making people look good. It's really creating the character.
Makeup is not a mask that covers up your beauty; it's a weapon that helps you express who you are from the inside.
My fingertips are my favorite makeup brush! I especially like to apply my eye shadow with them, get it nice and smudgy. All my favorite makeup artists used their fingers to apply and their hand as a palette.
I think probably, the makeup artists don't really know how long it's going to take until they really work with your face and they kind of mold it and build it as they're going along.
Prosthetic makeup is always frustrating.
