Every makeup artist or stylist with whom I work has many special ideas, tips, and creations. I can always learn so much from them.
I always like to start with a matte base then add shimmer.
I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.
When I'm working I wear so much makeup, and when I'm out with my friends I wear makeup, so sometimes at school I'm just like, 'Today is not much of a makeup day - foundation, chapstick - done.'
I have very talented people dress me and put my makeup on, stuff like that. But I do love that look, and I think it's maybe because I grew up on that old glamour.
I really take pride in doing my own make-up all the time, which takes me about 40 minutes, and my hair takes another 15 to 20 minutes. Putting on my gear is probably another 15 minutes, so all in all, I don't think an hour and a half is too bad!
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.
I definitely hand myself over to the hair and makeup gods of 'Girls.' Our look on the show is very specific, and it's different from mine in real life, although I've definitely learned things from working with both the hair and makeup people for the show.
I remember being a kid and trying to do make-up and being so bad at it - but my sister Kylie was so good. It came so naturally to her. For me, it was never natural.
Before I put on my make up, I say a little prayer for you.
We makeup artists are a unique bunch of people; we don't have the classic brain, the classic training, but we're creative, so we figure it out.
I've never danced while driving, nor put on makeup.
