When I perform or have work, I get my makeup done by an artist.
I fell into makeup by accident, but I found my love for it, and once I realized that I could actually turn it into a huge business, that's when I started taking it a little bit more seriously, but it's always something that I knew could be something.
The best perk of my job is getting to take products home. I mean, my bathroom looks like Sephora; like a clean, smaller Sephora.
From being in the industry as a teenager, I'm so used to getting makeup done all day.
My pro program is going to reach out to more than just the people who have had the luxury of going to makeup school. Personally, when I was a kid, I couldn't afford that. That doesn't mean that they can't be at a professional level.
I am not so bad, actually, at doing my own makeup, so for more low-key events, I'll do my own, but for something like 'Harper's Bazaar' Icons Party, I would definitely get a makeup artist or a hair artist if I had time.
I have makeup that I can do in 15 minutes, 10 minutes, or five minutes, depending on what I'm doing that day. On a day when I'm shooting, it's 15 minutes. Five minutes is when I'm running around that day, and it's no big deal.
I don't really wear makeup every day. I feel like being an actress - we wear a lot of makeup - but when I am not working, I need to let my face breathe and be very comfortable.
I hate the only one of my book jackets when I was made up professionally, my hair made into a smooth bell.
With wearing makeup a part of my job as a model, one might think I'd get tired of it, but I absolutely love it.
Partisanship is not part of my professional makeup.
Makeup artists are always giving me their stuff. My favorite thing is free stuff. I'll take anything.
I have a glam squad, as most on-air people do. I think CNN has some of the best makeup artists, quite frankly.
If it's something quite low-key then I'll often do my own makeup. But for something like a premiere, it's good to have a makeup artist because they know what they're doing.
Anyone can look good if you have 500-flash bulbs exploding in your face.
One of my favorite drugstore brands is NYX.
I've been getting my makeup done professionally since I was 12, I've never found a brand that could create that glowing look and flawless finish we all want from beauty products with ingredients that were effective and safe. So I had to create it.
I've discovered special makeup by a company called M.A.C. You could wear it on the surface of the sun and it wouldn't move.
I love BareMinerals pink blushers, Smashbox eyeshadows and eyeliners, and Trish McEvoy mascara.
Whenever possible, I try to get a professional to do my makeup, because the idea of putting together a flawless look intimidates me. I like to be open to a makeup artist's ideas on the look they want to create, but I always ask to keep my foundation pretty lightweight and luminescent.
I love sitting in the makeup trailer and getting my makeup done in 15 minutes as opposed to an hour and a half.
Strip makeup lights just don't give you a fighting chance no matter how good looking you are. Light sconces that flank the mirror illuminate your entire face evenly.
