My mom is very much about 'less is more.' She showed me how to use makeup to enhance your beauty but not to change your face, which I think is important.
That's the mistake women make - you shouldn't see your makeup. We don't want to look like we've made an effort.
For some people, being bare-faced is wonderful. Others like a little bit of mascara and eyeliner.
My eyeliner is part of my face. There are elements that I'll change here and there, but my eyeliner, with little wings, that never changes.
Eyeliner changes everything! I also think a little lip-gloss or lipstick can brighten up your whole look, even after a practice when your hair is still a little bit wet!
You can always enhance your natural beauty; you learn what works for your face because crazy make-up doesn't really suit anyone.
On my lips, I just do a little bit of liner, just a color silhouette.
I like to make people look as good as they'd like to look, and with luck, a shade better.
When I go out to the supermarket or when I'm feeling lazy, I just put a little bright lipstick or gloss, and it brightens the skin. It's about enhancing what I have.
Makeup is scary. When I do it myself, it's just mascara, and sometimes I forget even to do that.
If you do a smoky eye, chances are you will not want to do a strong lip as well. It's never good to gild the lily.
When I'm wearing makeup, I choose between doing my eyes or mouth because I don't want to look like a beauty pageant child.
I always carry lip balm and lipstick. Lipstick is a very important beauty product because I find that lips are the most beautiful feature of anyone's face.
When I perform or have work, I get my makeup done by an artist.
I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
Makeup does a lot for your confidence. When I put makeup on, I walk taller. I smile more. I feel good. I know I look prettier. Even if I just put day makeup on.
When I first got into making makeup, I didn't necessarily want to start a company. I just wanted to make a lipstick that looked like lips, only better.
Two of my favourite products for a quick-fix are lipstick and mascara. I think with lipstick, brighter is better.
I look very different on camera compared with how I do in real life. On camera, I look my best when everything is enhanced, especially my eyes - I like a smoky eye. In real life, I like myself best in tinted moisturiser, lip balm and mascara.
If I have on a bright red lip, you'll rarely ever catch me with eyeshadow on. It's one or the other for me - pick one feature for the day and really focus on that.
If you have really pretty skin, then you can pretty much stick on mascara and a lip cream and look great.
That's my approach to makeup in general, highlight something, what you love about yourself, but don't cover anything up, or distract from what you actually look like.
I'll probably always opt for makeup because I just like the way it feels. You can play with it and create different looks, and I think that's fun. But I also want the option to not need it.
Really, personally, makeup is cool to wear less and light on the eye and just go colorful on the lips.
To me, beauty and makeup and color is like the finishing touch on everything.
