With confidence, I think anyone can get a dress and make it their own. I don’t think you should have it off the runway and wear it like they want you to wear it.

I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair.
I love my complexion, but like so many of us, in the early years at primary school, I grew up thinking that my dark skin wasn’t a great thing. I’ve found freedom in music and songwriting, which has given me a freedom in how I present myself. I’m glad I’ve got makeup to celebrate that with.
To me that’s part of my working day, and I would never refuse a job where I’m under several hours of makeup, because as an actor, I enjoy performing. It’s about the creation of the character and the art to me, not about being comfortable and how long it all takes.
When you work in the United States Senate, and you are around people of all different ideas and beliefs, you realize that what our Founding Fathers did that was so genius, is that they made the Senate the place where compromises are supposed to happen because of the makeup of the Senate.

I’m very low maintenance. I use Simple wipes to take off my makeup, wash my hair with whatever‘s in the shower.
Rock-and-roll, to me, is very serious because we deal with the young people. We deal with people who need something, and that’s the same thing that a preacher does. He feeds you something that you need spiritually in your soul and in your makeup.
I’m minimalistic when it comes to makeup, so I’m a sucker for anything that’s multi-tasking. Aquaphor is my go-to product. It’s great for adding gloss to eyes and cheekbones, and amazing for soothing dry cuticles, too.
My makeup artist, Tonya Brewer, taught me the importance of moisturizing daily. Hydration is a must if you want pretty, dewy skin – which I love.
I love being super-tough, but if I need to put on a dress and do my hair and makeup, I can do that, too.
Most of us have to spend a lot of energy to learn how to drive a car. Then we have to spend the rest of our lives over-concentrating as we drive and text and eat a burrito and put on makeup. As a result, 30,000 people die every year in a car accident in the U.S.

I personally think my sister is so stunning without makeup. And she doesn’t wear that much makeup because she has the best skin color.
My mum had a massive influence on me, not just in what she wore and how she looked, but in her spirit.

Because I haven‘t since.
I love natural beauty, and I think it’s your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
Hair and makeup has become part of my pre-competition routine. It’s a quiet time, when I can reflect, I can put on some music – and I can mentally get in the zone of performance.

When you’re looking through a magazine, you’d think every single person‘s a different person, but every third girl is actually the same girl in a different outfit and makeup.

I just like playing with makeup and clothes – so I really don’t feel like there are rules, and if there are rules, then I think it’s up to you to break them.
It’s a huge change from when I started in the 1960s, but what is really impressive is that the number of ladies on set, the women working on set is a huge percentage. There used to be no women. It was just the leading lady‘s mother, perhaps the hairdresser and the makeup person.
If you’re not a makeup artist, and you just try to go for the big looks, it just gets the best of you.
I love doing my makeup – mostly because I’m pretty good at it. What I can’t do is hair!
Riding my motorcycle around L.A. is like my own video game. But unlike many folks at the wheel, I am occupied with getting where I’m going and keeping myself safe. Most people are applying makeup, texting, and checking out the beauty in the next car.
I met Matt when he was in Busted. I was working at MTV and I’d see him wearing baggy jeans, waddling around like a duck so they didn’t fall down. He used to wear makeup and have weird hairstyles. But I remember thinking underneath all that was a really cute guy.
During the day, I really don’t wear much makeup.
I always wanted to be a makeup artist. When I don’t get to have my stylist, I do my own makeup!
I don’t want costumes and makeup between me and the audience – I want more direct communication. There’s something for me about being honest on stage, and I’m at my most honest when I’m behind a piano. So I prefer my concert performances.
For makeup, I prefer to keep it simple for the daytime.
A fashion photographer is nothing without clothes and hair and makeup. And when I speak to other photographers, a lot of them can’t reference a picture by the designer. Me, I say, ‘The Balenciaga.’ And I go to the shows. I feel like it’s my business.
Makeup is something that is meant to enhance your features, not to make you look like something you’re not.
There are moments when I am really not happy with how I look, or I think it would be an easy way out to try and do the conventionally attractive thing. But part of it is that I don’t have the energy to put on, like, makeup. If people want to do that, that’s fine. But I’ve learned that it’s not for me.
I’m doing lots of interviews and stuff. I’m longing for the days of getting up, not having to put on makeup and do my hair and just going to the studio.

When people see my makeup, they think all types of crazy things that I’m doing to my skin, but it’s makeup. It’s the weirdest thing. They’ll see contouring and think you had surgery on your nose. No. No. No. Look at ‘RuPaul‘s Drag Race’ and you’ll see… you can make your nose look… what ever shape you want it.
Should you create a protagonist based directly on yourself? The problem with this – and it is a very large problem – is that almost no one can view himself objectively on the page. As the writer, you’re too close to your own complicated makeup.
It’s definitely an intrinsic part of my makeup that makes me want to see black when everyone else is seeing white.

I was in musical comedy. And I did very well, but the memorization killed me. I’m not good at memorizing, and it gave me a lot of anxiety. I hated the makeup. I hated all that pancake makeup. I didn’t really like dressing for parts.
I don’t care if someone makes fun of me, but if someone calls me a mean person or something, I reply. If you don’t like me in makeup, that’s OK. But I would like people to like me as a person.

Use coconut oil to remove makeup, and do it before going to bed.

One of the main inspirations behind The Power of Makeup was bullies and the one thing I believe in is that makeup is not just society, it’s for you.
I don’t want to say that women who do use makeup or get breast implants or have fake nails are insecure. They’re entitled to that, and they should do that if that’s what they want to do. But for me, there are no answers. It’s just a matter of preference and choice and fetish.
The ’80s and ’90s were the greatest time to be a makeup artist.
In gymnastics, everything is a competition. You want to have your hair look the best and your makeup look the best. You want to be the best, and you want to have the prettiest leotard.
Clothing and makeup and hair and all of that so much indicates the kind of person you are inside and the person you are presenting on the outside. Sometimes they are in conflict, and sometimes they are the same. That psychology of the exterior informing the interior is just so interesting.
Many voters think about the makeup of the Supreme Court when they are choosing a president. The justices deal not only with constitutional issues but also with social issues that were unknown to the founding fathers who wrote the Constitution more than 200 years ago.
Some makeup companies have really good recycling policies, and it’s worth finding out whether your favourites are among them. With MAC, for instance, you can take any of your old makeup containers into its shops, and the sweetest deal is that, once you’ve racked up six containers, you get a free lipstick or lip gloss.
Less is more! I don’t wear makeup if I don’t have to.
In our society, women are valued for their sexual attraction. I’d like to get away from the sex symbol idea of what beauty is. Actually, that’s probably the farthest thing from beauty, because it’s makeup and hair, it’s pouty lips – it’s not real.
I’m super weird about my lips. I actually don’t let makeup artists do my lipstick. I know my own lip line. I feel, even, they go too much over my lip line or too much under my lip line, and I don’t want my lips to look strange on camera. I’m very particular about my lips.
You look at women at the Republican convention and women at the Democratic convention. Republicans have a certain aesthetic beauty that involves more makeup, bigger hair, more lurid outfits.

When it comes to lipstick and makeup, I love MAC.
I had this roommate in college who would get up almost 2 hours before class to do hair and makeup. That’s not for me.
I really believe less is more. When you get older, too much makeup can be ageing, and when you’re young, you should enjoy the fact your skin is free from lines and wrinkles rather than overloading it with products.

I find that putting my makeup on and playing with different looks is really relaxing for me before the show.

Well-done eyelash extensions make you look beautiful and doe-eyed without a lick of makeup.
Makeup artists are always giving me their stuff. My favorite thing is free stuff. I’ll take anything.

I have the utmost admiration for makeup artists. It’s truly magical what they can accomplish with their materials. The face and the body are really their canvas.
I always take off my makeup. My mother always told me to do this, and I never go to bed without doing it. I use a good moisturizer and Mario Badescu face wash.
No, I like to wear as least amount of makeup as I can during my everyday life because I’m just all about keeping my skin healthy and hydrated and I love to laugh and have a great time and smile – that’s when I feel the most pretty so I just want to make sure that I stay happy.
Unfortunately, I have two facets to my makeup, and that is both scientific and artistic. By doing medicine, I was only answering one of those sides.
My body, my clothes, and my makeup are on purpose, just as I am on purpose.
I found myself sort of becoming a character actor, though I don’t know if that would be my natural makeup.
For a clean makeup finish, I use Cle de Peau translucent pressed powder.
Doing makeup was a way to create characters, only I got tired of doing it for other people.
I’d have to say that, in general, models take themselves too seriously. Basically, they are genetic freaks who spend a couple of hours in hair and makeup.
Sometimes, I don’t even want to put on makeup. And sometimes, I feel so unattractive and blah.
If I’m wearing makeup, I always wash my face. Washing my face is a must.
I’m a responsible soul. But anyone who has the chance to spend time with me can see I’m still 22 years old. I love talking about clothes and guys and shoes and makeup. Plus, I’m obsessed with anything Hello Kitty!
There’s a limit to what I can do with a makeup or with animatronics.
I think that makeup can be challenging, especially when you are younger.
If I’m not working and getting my makeup done, that’s my chance to do a hair mask and a face mask and my plucking and waxing and all of that.
When I’m not working, I’m really, really low key. I don’t wear makeup unless I have to; I don’t get my hair done unless I really need to.
With confidence, I think anyone can get a dress and make it their own. I don’t think you should have it off the runway and wear it like they want you to wear it. You know, with their hair and makeup – their woman. I just think it’s boring. You have to make it your own. That’s what fashion is all about.
My personal style is really comfy: flats, tennis shoes, ponytails, no makeup.
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.
There are several peculiarities that I share with children which, like having no front teeth, are perhaps more acceptable in the very young, but which, for better or worse, seem to be a part of my makeup.
I don’t really wear makeup. I don’t like the feeling of it. I just put mascara on, and that’s kind of it.
If you look at most beauty advertisements, you would think that makeup is only for beautiful women in their early twenties.
It’s always the guys who have absolutely nothing to give that start screaming and yelling about their makeup and trailers. It’s a diversion so you don’t pay attention to them, because they stink!
The makeup is simply an extension of the personality and colors, clothing, makeup all express something.
I enjoy makeup and having someone who does my hair. What female wouldn’t?
Good skin is the best foundation for your makeup.
It is said that no star is a heroine to her makeup artist.
Costume, hair and makeup can tell you instantly, or at least give you a larger perception of who a character is. It’s the first impression that you have of the character before they open their mouth, so it really does establish who they are.
When I’m not working, I don’t wear a lot of makeup. When I do, I like to accentuate my eyes and wear natural colors. I am also mindful of the proper way to apply concealer.
My favourite way of getting ready for a red carpet event is to turn the hair and makeup time into a bit of a pre-party. I use the same artists all of the time, so we know each other so well – so it’s a ‘hanging with friends’ session. Music, lots of laughing, and food – because you must eat before the event.
Football is an extraordinarily popular sport, and the whole game is played around this issue. The whole makeup of the game involves these subconcussive hits. I don’t know how they’re going to solve that problem. I don’t think they know how they’re going to solve that problem.
I’m someone that never likes to overpower the girls in hair and makeup.
I’m hoping I’ll eventually get to be a beauty blogger myself because I do my own makeup, and I have for years.
It’s so easy to be insecure about your looks or if you’re wearing the right clothes, or your hair and makeup. And I think it’s just so important to stay true to who you are.
Any character, for me, always comes together in the hair, makeup, and wardrobe. Shoes especially. For some reason, shoes really do it for me because they help me figure out how the character walks.
I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup because I tend to like a natural look.
My parents were New Yorkers, and I was conceived in Los Angeles. My father was a makeup artist to Clint Eastwood and Richard Chamberlain.
Ronald Reagan had a kind of shallow movie-star charisma – a combination of makeup and the skill of a good actor – but it wasn’t the real thing, and was something that he could turn off when the cameras weren’t running.
I’ve seen pictures of myself with makeup on, and I look like those women who look like they’re wearing makeup so they can look young, and I don’t think that’s good. They have all these products now called – wait, what’s it called, it’s my favorite – youth suppressant, or age go away; they don’t work.
Oh I love not wearing makeup, that’s like my favourite thing.
Even on television, I am full of fake hair and covered in body makeup head-to-toe.
I don’t want to be known as the Aerosmith chick, but it’s fun to put on the boots and makeup and act like a tough girl.
My favorite drugstore product is Clean and Clear makeup removing cleanser. It gets the makeup off in one wash – not three or four.
Makeup ignites a psychological transformation of both the wearer and the observer. My paintings sought to locate the subject of art within the manipulation of that altered predisposition.
It’s one thing to read about how makeup is applied. It’s another thing altogether to watch it being put on.
I was trying to maintain a facade of infallibility, which is exhausting. Like, I used to wear tons of makeup because I had bad skin. I couldn’t go out in public without makeup on.
I have cellulite – and had it even when I was at my absolute thinnest. I’m never not going to have cellulite. People need to just accept that it’s there and maybe dress accordingly or use body makeup to cope with it.
I really miss wearing costumes and makeup.
I love natural beauty, and I think it’s your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
Inside of all the makeup and the character and makeup, it’s you, and I think that’s what the audience is really interested in… you, how you’re going to cope with the situation, the obstacles, the troubles that the writer put in front of you.
I don’t dye my hair and I can go without makeup.
I love seeing people being more daring with their makeup.
I feel like I’m way too young to wear such heavy makeup all the time. It’s just bad for your skin, but I’m always doing photo shoots or red carpets and events, so I obviously want to look good.
On stage, I’m this figure, this actor, who does things that people aren’t used to seeing and I relish in that reaction. In real life, though, I play golf, I shop and I walk around with no makeup on and my hair in a ponytail. I may not be the typical middle-aged Joe, but I’m closer to normal than you think.
I think women should wear whatever makeup they want for themselves. Makeup should be fun.
For me, taking care of your skin is the most important step. You can cover it with all the makeup you have, and it’s still not as nice as beautiful skin.
A dream job is to walk right past hair and makeup.
I usually don’t wear makeup, and if I do, it’s later in the day if I have to get my act together for work for some reason.
I have facials, and I’ll do microdermabrasion every now and then. But mostly, I eat right – you know, lots of greens – and I drink a lot of water. And I like to use a lot of natural stuff on my face. I don’t like to over-product it. I actually wipe my makeup off with olive oil.
I very much feel like I’m part of the makeup of ‘Once Upon a Time.’
Glitter is my makeup of choice.
I’m a big believer in that if you focus on good skin care, you really won’t need a lot of makeup.
Year after year, we see a new crop of musicians who do their best to look tough in lipstick and makeup. Maybe it’s a cry for help, an admission of their strong feminine side, or the realization that they don’t look so good any other way. Whatever the reason, makeup is as rock n’ roll as a Marshall stack.
One of the biggest misconceptions that a woman has is that a man has to accept her the way she is. No, we don’t. I don’t know who told you that. We like the bright and shiny. If you stop wearing the makeup, stop putting on nail polish, stop wearing high heels, you’ll lose us.
I always could putt. Part of my makeup, I always could putt.
I look my best after an entire hair and makeup team has spent hours perfecting me. When do I feel my best? When I haven’t looked in a mirror for days, and I’m doing things that make me happy.
I’m very into dresses, shoes, and makeup.
In my house, when I don’t bring any makeup, when wearing comfortable clothes and when I’m playing with my kids, that’s the moment where I feel the most beautiful.
I couldn’t even imagine not being able to take long, hot showers or wear makeup whenever I wanted or shave my underarms. There are certain things people take for granted.
SPF and moisturizer are two things that will ensure you stay younger-looking longer! I moisturize my entire body right when I get out of the shower, and I always use makeup with an SPF.
As a scouting department, with the confidence we have in our player development, if a guy has the potential that we think they have and the makeup and they stay healthy, we think they will be a productive Major Leaguer. We take a lot of pride in that.
Adjust your makeup to the light in which your wear it.
If I went out in killer heels and full makeup, blow dry, the whole thing – anyone dressed up like that could be intimidating to men and women, really. It’s so, look at me. Do you know what I mean? But I love women.
Red certainly is the family color. From my mother and my grandmother, I’ve learned a lot of little tricks – the significance of color and lipstick being one of them. I started skating when I was eight years old, and my mom did my makeup for me back then.
L.A. girls always have perfect hair and makeup in every situation.
Maybe it’s my age, but I know I look good, so I’m not going to look like another person suddenly because I don’t have makeup on – same hair, same person.
I think magazines and interviews make celebrities into this bigger-than-life thing, but I’ve gotten bullied over trying different things with my makeup.
My parents are Jamaican immigrants and both have a multiracial background. They’re Jamaican but my genetic makeup is West African, European, Asian.
I’ve been told to wear different things, to look different, to lose weight, to look sexier, to wear more hair, to wear more makeup.
I use more makeup now then I did before. I didn’t use to wear really that much, and I didn’t know how to do makeup, but now I know how to do it a bit more. I can do eyes and makeup in general more. I do like my own lipstick as well.
Makeup isn’t something I’ve worn a lot of in my life.
When you see me on TV against one of the other girls, they look 10 times better than me, and I’m OK with that. I make a conscious effort not to wear that much makeup and not have my hair so perfectly groomed. That’s just not me. I’m not going to be perfect.
I usually put on a lip and some mascara before I head out of the house. It makes me feel good. I started experimenting with makeup back in high school. One of my friends, who shall remain nameless, shoplifted a bunch of drugstore cosmetics for me, and I would just play with it in my room at night.
I love when a woman doesn’t have to put on makeup.
Some makeup companies have really good recycling policies, and it’s worth finding out whether your favourites are among them. With MAC, for instance, you can take any of your old makeup containers into its shops, and the sweetest deal is that, once you’ve racked up six containers, you get a free lipstick or lip gloss.
If I am not working, I won’t wear makeup and I will wear flats.
Makeup is cool. I mean, you can turn up and feel really good and treat yourself, but it shouldn’t be something you hang on to to validate your beauty or something you have to do to make you feel beautiful.
When I prepare for a match, it’s like work, even the way I have to shower and put on my makeup.
I always remove my makeup before sleeping and moisturise before bed and in the morning.

Whether you are sixteen or over sixty, remember, understatement is the rule of a fine makeup artist.
My main focus when I do my makeup is my eyes – I accentuate my eyes, and they look bigger. More ‘va va voom,’ I guess you can say.
I don’t like to look at myself in the mirror, which is why my eye makeup is always crooked.
Fragrance is important to me because of its emotional dimension. I feel like fragrances are able to transport, stir emotion, and bring up memories. You can wear makeup, you can dress yourself up, but fragrance gives a powerful aspect to how you can present yourself that you can’t necessarily get any other way.
My job requires me to always be on. I’m always getting my makeup done for a shoot.
Let it be said that the makeup artist at ‘90210’ made me look better for the fake red carpet than I’ve ever looked on an actual red carpet.
If you look at tennis, the girls have become much more attractive; they wear makeup. In my generation, you were a tennis player. It wasn’t like you had to look a certain way.
I wear no makeup in real life. I’m very simple. That may be why I go over the top for the red carpet. But otherwise, I’m very plain. I should make more of an effort, actually.
People have to learn that everybody is the same. If you wake up in the morning, even if you’re a movie star, you look like everybody else. The reality is that makeup is there to help. That’s what it’s for.
I quite like that people tend not to know my name. I remember being at the Cannes film festival for ‘All or Nothing.’ I looked very different in the film – I had a little greasy bob and no makeup. I went to a dinner after the screening, and everyone completely ignored me. I got a real buzz out of that.
A man can do a television interview and roll out of bed 15 minutes before; it’s just not the same for a woman. A woman has to pay attention to her hair, makeup, clothing, and jewelry choices.
Cara’s always been a real tomboy. She was never really that into makeup. She’s very quick at it.
It’s very, very important to wash off makeup. Like, really wash it off – I used to be really bad and leave some on when I would go to bed, but it’s so important to get it all off.
Some people think wearing powder ages them, but try it anyway. For me it mattes my makeup and blends it well.
I don’t tend to wear a lot of makeup in general.
I am thrilled to be working with Shiseido and to be representing their incredible suncare, skincare, and makeup lines.
All that prosthetic makeup drains you. By the time it’s lunch, you’re done.
Always wear sunscreen and wash your makeup off at night.
The biggest beauty myth is that everyone looks better without makeup. That’s not true. Makeup is important.
I’ll do my makeup in the car sometimes.
As a woman, and as somebody in the public eye, we always have to be ready for the red carpet and have the nicest outfit, work with the best makeup artist. While all that’s nice, we’re also human beings.
My mom was an aesthetician and she went to beauty school back in the ’60s. I just remember watching her do her makeup all the time. She always had her nails done, makeup on – her face was ready to go when she went out. I loved it.
I don’t work with a stylist, I don’t work with a glam squad to get me together for the red carpet, I really enjoy the time it takes to do it myself, to choose my clothes and do my own makeup and my own hair.
I’m pedantic about lip balm. I’ve been chomping through Lip Smackers since age 11. So the lip balm called Lips! is a personal favourite. I also really love the Properly Clean cleanser. Women are wearing primer, sunscreen and makeup, so a cleanser needs to work hard these days.
I’m not shy about wearing a lot of makeup! But when I don’t have to be done up, I just use a bit of concealer and maybe some lip balm.
It’s one thing to evaluate a woman’s work. it’s another thing to say, ‘Your hair was this; your makeup was that.’
My earliest memory was watching my mother do her makeup. She was obsessed with beauty and collected makeup and experimented with it. I think it’s a lot of young men and women’s experiences, growing up: watching the ritual of what their mothers would do.
I never go bed without taking my makeup off.
In real life, I’m always in tracksuits, and I never wear makeup.
I love that men like to look at women, that they love sports, that they need to know the inner workings of mechanical objects. I love the whole makeup of men – that they never mature and are always just boys.
One year, my good deed started with deciding to give all my friends makeup from a cruelty-free cosmetics line that I love. I did this with the hope that they would love it as much as I do and end up switching their makeup over to that cruelty-free line forever.
In college, I would do my teammate‘s hair and their makeup sometimes. I did a friend’s makeup at the 2008 Olympics, and she said, ‘Have you ever considered taking classes?’ For some reason, it had never crossed my mind.
I have always been a big fan of MAC! I like how the brand turns makeup into a form of self-expression which always gives me great confidence on stage.
I found my style and how I like to do makeup from trying and failing and trying and failing again, and unfortunately, I had to do it publicly to figure it out.
I’m a bit of a contrarian, so I like the idea of going on stage without makeup, without the hair being done, in the jeans and shirt I’ve been wearing all day. At first that was an issue, because I didn’t want to be disrespectful.
You mean the fact that Tom Arnold would spend more time with the hair and makeup people than I would?
I love strong looks, so to me, no makeup is strong. As long as it makes a statement, that’s what I like. The girls look very real, and I’m probably the only makeup artist who will say that I love a woman without makeup.
I don’t have any weird gimmicks. I do put on lipstick for the show. That’s what separates it. ‘Cause I don’t wear makeup at all… That’s probably the closest thing I have to a routine.
You can do whatever you wanna do. If you’re a girl – girl, you get on the football team, okay? If you identify as a boy, you put on some makeup, and you work that stage!
It was a whole new attitude: no makeup, less is more… the ’90s were fun!
To me, it is not about the kind of gown or makeup you are wearing, it is about how confident you are and your beliefs.
I’ve always been into cars. Cars are part of our genetic makeup. It’s unavoidable.
I always wear lip balm because I wear a lot of lipstick. I’m a big lipstick person. I would rather wear too-bright lipstick than too-heavy eye makeup.
Cleanses and products don’t make you look more beautiful. They certainly help, but if you reach contentment, you’re set. My makeup artist, Melanie Iglesias, couldn’t figure out why my skin looks so good. I think it’s because I’m happy!
It’s very rare that I put makeup on.
I always believe that if you feel good and look happy, you’re always going to be beautiful. My one actual beauty trick is pretty cliche: Never, ever go to bed with your makeup on.
I remember early on, in my very, very early days, I had a makeup artist tell me that I needed to get an attitude. I had no idea what he was talking about.
I’m not a big eye makeup girl unless there’s a professional doing it – otherwise I look like I have two black eyes!
I always keep my makeup really simple.
They are part of lots of sessions that makeup a hazy part of my session life.
I never like to wear too much makeup, and sometimes the best makeup is when it’s not too perfect. I like to sometimes apply my makeup with my fingers.
When you photograph someone, you have to make them feel good, and you know that they want to look good. It’s the same relationship that you have when you apply makeup on somebody. We’re almost like shrinks.
When I go from a role with heavy prosthetic makeup, which I’ve done quite a bit of as well, and then do a role where I’m not wearing any, I have to be conscious of toning everything down.
I’m not high maintenance, and I’m not into a highly manicured man. I don’t want to see a lot of hair product. If he’s too showy, that’s embarrassing to me – I wear makeup and take showers, but that’s basically it. I’m not trying to stand out too much.
We have a snap of my dad wearing blue eye shadow, which I would always make fun of. When I was about 12 and first started wearing lipstick, my dad would ask, ‘Are you wearing makeup?’ I would say back, ‘You’re wearing more makeup there than I am!’
Too much makeup on an older woman can really make you look like a freak.
It’s funny because ever since ‘American Idol,’ people look at me without makeup and think I’m 15 years old – they think I’m really young and quiet and shy, and that I’ve never been in a relationship and have never been in love or anything.
‘Venus in Fur‘ is very Polanski: you have the knife of ‘Rosemary’s Baby‘; you have Thomas disguised as a woman as in ‘The Tenant,’ when Vanda puts makeup on him, it’s like ‘Cul de Sac’; the dress of Tess and other details that are very Polanski. He fell in love with the play because it was so much him.
I do my own makeup for events and red carpet stuff.
Dress how you’re comfortable. Wear the makeup that you’re comfortable in – or don’t wear it.
For my eyes, my day-to-day just involves curling my lashes to open up my eyes and applying our mascara, The Quickie. If I’m getting my makeup done, I like to get individual lash extensions or a strip of false lashes, depending on how glam I want to get.
If you don’t want to put on any makeup, try some fake eyelashes. They make your eyes pop and give you a little confidence boost.
I have next to no interest in makeup as a thing in and of itself, and nothing stresses me out like Sephora’s salespeople.
My mom actually arranged for all my friends and I to have a makeup tutorial when we first started wearing makeup. That way, we learned how not to do our makeup.
Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
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 feel like, with makeup, I really picked it up on my own. There’s no one really in my family – my grandma is probably the closest – who loves makeup like I do.
I don’t have to wear any other makeup as long as I have blush.
I was in a band when I was 15. We were a glam band. Then I couldn’t afford to buy makeup. At the time that was the thing.
When you have a cute outfit on and your makeup looks amazing, the first thing people comment on is your image. When you don’t wear makeup, you hear things like, ‘Oh wow, you look tired,’ or, ‘You’re so brave for not wearing makeup!’
I want makeup to be more about freedom of expression. If I want to put on makeup and make myself look different, I can, but it’s not a standard for every single day.
Every time I get my makeup professionally done, I take a photo.
Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside.
As an artist who performs on the stage, I try to express my feelings and convey my inner thoughts through the looks I give the audience. So, I tend to focus on making sure that my makeup highlights my eyes properly.
If you saw me without makeup, you wouldn’t recognize me.
Makeup is something that a female has to reckon with every single day. Whether you wear it or don’t, you’re always making decisions about wearing it or not, or how you’re wearing it, and what that means.
Growing up on stage, I was introduced to makeup at a young age and I will never forget the first time I tried on a L’Oreal Paris iconic lipstick – it was instant glamour and I’ve been hooked ever since.
That’s the mistake women make – you shouldn’t see your makeup. We don’t want to look like we’ve made an effort.
I never, ever saw myself as glam because I didn’t wear makeup… my image is a plain leather jumpsuit, which is not glam at all. I’ve always seen myself as rock n’ roll and not glam.
I do like some of the perks, like being, recognized, especially if I’ve had my makeup done and I’m going to be photographed and people admire me. Who wouldn’t like that?
Once the makeup is on, it is easy to enter the character’s frame of mind.
There’s always going to be somebody that you consider maybe more beautiful. But nine times out of ten here in L.A., that beauty isn’t home grown. It’s usually manufactured. It sort of encourages me to work more within myself because I think that’s not what appeals to me. Plastic and tons of makeup.
I, Lesley, I like looking nice. I like doing my hair and wearing makeup and wearing nice clothes. But I don’t care what my characters look like.
To me, being beautiful is just accepting myself. I feel beautiful when I’m wearing makeup; I feel beautiful when I’m not wearing makeup.
I always try to have my hair and my nails did no matter what. As long as that’s done, putting an outfit and some shoes together, and a little makeup, that’s nothing.
I used to wear more makeup, but I’ve learned to enjoy being natural.
If you feel good about yourself, even putting a little bit of makeup – I don’t usually wear makeup, but you know, someone said to me, ‘Why don’t you spend that extra five minutes to make yourself feel good?’ And it’s just a bit of self-care so you can go out and face the world, and I think we need that right now.
To be honest, whenever I go to shoots, or I’m on set, it really makes makeup special and allows me to have so much more fun with it – I don’t wear it on an everyday basis, because I like my skin to breathe.
That’s why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.
I just loved makeup. My mother loved it as well – and was obsessed by the fact that we couldn’t find any makeup for dark skin.
I am thrilled FLIRT! tapped into me to be their new Style Ambassador. I love FLIRT! products because they help me express my own personal style – especially when I want to stand out on set or in the crowd. What could be more fun than getting to play with makeup and fragrance and tell people all about it!
I’m not saying that putting on makeup will change the world or even your life, but it can be a first step in learning things about yourself you may never have discovered otherwise. At worst, you could make a big mess and have a good laugh.
I never wear makeup when I’m not at work. It can make you forget what you look like, and I’ve grown to really love the way I look without it.
I’ve been applying makeup long enough to feel good doing it on my own, but I cannot do my hair to save my life. When left to my own devices, if I have to go to an event, I do a slicked bun. Otherwise, I just try to wear a hat, put it in a ponytail, or do a side braid – something easy.
To me, makeup is fashion and vice versa. What I dress and what I wear always needs to work with my makeup, which is usually the same anyway.
There’s nothing worse than sleeping in makeup. You wake up looking like a painting that’s been left out in a rainstorm.
As long as I have enough money for makeup artists, everything is okay. I feel young and very free. But one day, my face will be too old for the camera.
With modelling, a lot happens behind the scenes; all the fittings and hair and makeup. Then the runway takes two minutes – you just walk out and come back in!
I think the skin is the most important thing. If you take care of your skin, you don’t really need much makeup.
Now that I have a daughter, I’ve been thinking about how I’ll define beauty to her. I watched a video of Kendall when she was three, and she was putting on makeup. I don’t know how I feel about that. But my daughter already watches me do it. When do you let them start wearing it? I don’t know yet.
I was at the end of the studio system so when I walked into movies, I had a magnificent suite in which I had a living room and a kitchen and a complete makeup room. I had everything just for me. With the independents, you’re kind of roughing it, literally.
I don’t feel very glowing, especially after wearing makeup – and not necessarily my choice of makeup – for 12 hours straight on a movie set. When I’m playing a character, her look is sometimes different from my own.
Whenever I do my own makeup, I usually only do foundation, bronzer, and mascara.
I never wanted to wear skirts or shoes, makeup, nails, dresses, or even wear my hair a certain way. I always wanted to wear sneakers, stud earrings, hair in a ponytail, and play with the boys.
For a clean makeup finish, I use Cle de Peau translucent pressed powder.
I feel like makeup is a part of me, but it’s not who I am completely.
I just love a little bit of tinted moisturiser or an SPF on days where I don’t have to wear any makeup. Giving your skin a break is crucial and there’s actually a bit of glamour in beautiful skincare and no makeup days.
The makeup is simply an extension of the personality and colors, clothing, makeup all express something.
Makeup is an accessory to fashion. You buy a bag, you buy shoes, you put on eyeliner, you buy a lipstick, makeup compliments the clothes.
I was a tomboy growing up. Even after I started modeling at thirteen, I didn’t learn how to do my makeup.
I don’t believe in dressing up reality. I don’t believe in using makeup to make things look smoother.
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.
On stage, I’m this figure, this actor, who does things that people aren’t used to seeing and I relish in that reaction. In real life, though, I play golf, I shop and I walk around with no makeup on and my hair in a ponytail. I may not be the typical middle-aged Joe, but I’m closer to normal than you think.
The wholesome is definitely intentional and drilled into me. I mean, we weren’t allowed to pierce our ears growing up. We didn’t wear makeup. We couldn’t have layers in our hair, perms, or color, or manicures. My dad didn’t think it was ladylike. My dad just felt like his daughters should be wholesome.
It’s a funny relationship that makeup artists have. I always feel kind of like a dentist. People look at me and think of pain.
Whenever I don’t have to wear makeup, it’s a good day.
We know grooming is important for people. To get their hair done, to get makeup and things like that – that makes a person feel better.
When I got into the music industry, I wasn’t focused on being the most famous artist or even getting a major record deal. It was just to make music on my own terms or create my own image, do my own hair, do my own makeup.
I’ve learned more from makeup artists in my nine years of modeling than from my mother. She always told me not to wear any makeup. I try to keep my skin and hair clean and give them a rest when I’m not working.
Whenever I’m home, I haven’t got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.
No matter how exhausted I am after a show, I always take my makeup off. Even if it’s just with a remover wipe.
I’ve learned all my hair and makeup tricks on the set, and I incorporate all kinds of things when I’m getting ready, and I’m big on blotting papers. I get a very shiny forehead, which I like to call my inner glow coming out.
In my regular life, I don’t really wear much makeup unless I’m going out.
That’s the spirit in which I went to New York to be with my husband, and when I knocked on the hotel door, she opened the door as Caitlyn as we now know her – full makeup and fully dressed as a woman. So it was devastating to me to see because I had envisioned Bruce opening the door, but it was helpful in my process.
Personalized beauty is about each woman being able to create her own makeup routine that complements her coloring and style.
I love the confidence that makeup gives me.
For my everyday look, I don’t like going anywhere without eye makeup.
You should see me without makeup.
If I’m going to see people, I won’t wear heavy makeup. It’s not attractive on me. When you see those pictures on my Instagram, they are usually for when I’m doing a photo shoot or an interview.
I’m not really into makeup, not really into fuffing with hair and stuff.
The secret to everything for me is doing yoga every day. It does do nice things for your body, but it also kind of calms you down and chills you out. Other than that, I don’t really drink alcohol and I always take my makeup off at night!
I find that when I put too much makeup on, or I use a certain brand, my skin will break out. I tend to gravitate towards water-based foundations because my skin absorbs them a little better and it doesn’t break out as much. I use Hourglass Mineral Veil. It’s so amazing.
I didn’t start wearing makeup until I was in art school, and many of the techniques I learned on canvas, I applied to makeup.
When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it’s not to get attention.
Grooming is 10 times more important than makeup. I use a hair gloss with a teeny bit of color in it that makes my hair very shiny.
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.
I like writing better. Because I don’t have to wear makeup, I don’t have to be thin, and I don’t have to remember lines.
A lot of times when I’m not at work I like to let my face breath and not put makeup on.
For me, makeup will always be about glamour, fantasy, and escapism!
Problem-solving becomes a very important part of our makeup as we grow into maturity or move up the corporate ladder.
I took off the makeup and stashed the crown, and now I was just another young woman out in the world. It’s almost dizzying how fast the fame goes away – like a stage that turns dark at the end of a performance.
Mascara is the only makeup I actually care about – I’ve tried them all. I use Diorshow when I’m trying to be fancy, but for every day, I use Blinc.
Whenever I don’t have to wear makeup, it’s a good day.
That’s my one rule: always take off my makeup; no matter how tired I am before going to bed, it comes off!
I love sitting in the makeup trailer and getting my makeup done in 15 minutes as opposed to an hour and a half.
A woman who hides behind a mask of makeup is still going to have to take it off at some point… and deal with reality.
Starting at age 10, my personality and my identity all stemmed from employment. I had a set to be at. I was a certain way with the cameraman, a certain way with the makeup lady – a normal, routine environment.
I don’t like it when filmmakers say, ‘Just come like this, sir.’ I like to experiment with my makeup. I wish more filmmakers let me do that.
I love to feel clean. Whenever I was touring and doing shows, the minute I was done, I would immediately shower, take off all my makeup, and put on my PJs.
I love getting dressed up for red carpet events and having my hair and makeup done professionally – that definitely helps with nerves of going down the red carpet.
I have really big features, so a little makeup goes a long way. I would hate to look like a clown.
You’re dealing with all these foreign agents, foreign brushes, and different time zones. So, you have to put just as much work into taking that makeup off as you do into putting it on.
When your kids are 5 or 6, they already start playing with makeup. And I was the only mother in freakin’ elementary school getting called in to deal with makeup on her daughter.
I spend a lot more time on my wardrobe than my makeup routine and usually have to be told to brush my hair!
I feel more confident if my makeup looks good.
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 think the most important thing to putting on a good show is to always mix things up. Sometimes we wear makeup; other times we don’t. The point is, you’ll never get the same Avenged show twice. I think it’s really important to be theatrical. I mean, look at Iron Maiden!
I think barefaced, minimal makeup happens mostly on editorial shoots. And I’ve taken a swing at minimal makeup here and there, but I think a lot of what drag celebrates is the opposite of that. I think the inauthenticity and the hyperfemininity is part of why it’s so celebrated.
For me, in my normal life, I’m very all-or-nothing. I’m super comfortable dressed to the nines – full hair and makeup. I love feeling really done up. And I love feeling undone. I love sweatpants and my hair in a topknot. I go with no makeup. Or I have a full look.
I feel I’m most beautiful when I have less makeup on and I’m at home with people surrounding me that support me, and I know they will never judge me or try to change me.
My makeup is quite dense, so I have to remove makeup very thoroughly.
I’ve always loved the way movie stars in the Forties looked when they were off set. Shot poolside or at their home, they always wore a matte red lipstick with practically no foundation – it was how they wore makeup in real life.
The Fox News makeup treatment is unlike any other in journalism. It involves false lashes, layers and layers of foundation, and heavy applications of come-hither lip gloss.
Working with some of the best makeup artists has taught me a lot of amazing tricks to making me feel more confident, and I can’t wait to share them with you guys.
