If we follow those natural differences, those little nuances are nice; that’s what’s special about you!
Don’t call attention to eye makeup — just define.
If I’m on camera and I want to be a little snazzier, a little more dramatic, I’ll line my eyes.
I like to put it just at the base, where the lashes grow in, just to give my eye a bit more definition without calling attention to the makeup.
Different eyelash curlers work differently for different women — each of us has a unique eye shape! Experiment with them till you find the one that works for you. I think eyelashes are really fun.
They’re very feminine — if you think about Bambi, the only difference between the boy version of the animals and the girl version of the animals is that the girls all had long eyelashes.
Lashes give your eyes definition without looking fake, because you already have hair — you’re just enhancing what’s already there.
Take a break once in awhile.
If I’ve been modeling for a few days and been made up a lot, and then I wake up and see myself bare-faced, it’s jarring.
Because I got used to looking in the mirror and seeing all that makeup! And I find myself wanting to add makeup, and add makeup, and add makeup… makeup can be addicting like that.
So if I’m in the studio and I get used to myself with makeup, I’ll purposely not wear any for a couple of weeks, so I get back to appreciating myself naturally.
Makeup can be really fun to experiment with — the trick is to stay flexible with it, so it’s always a pleasurable, added bonus, and never something you feel you need to feel good about yourself or comfortable in your skin.
