“You can't be lazy in fashion. You're always going to be surprised.”
“Anyone who knows or works with me knows I don't believe there's such a thing as a 'mistake.' With that in mind, I celebrate all aspects of makeup and find something beautiful in all 'trends.'”
“Makeup is malleable and mercurial: The biggest joy I have every day is the opportunity to create, to play, and to invent with something I've loved forever.”
“The lipstick, to make a matte that feels like heaven, is unheard of.”
“You couldn't get anyone more makeup-addicted than me.”
“Use colors on eyes that contrast with the iris to make eyes appear more vibrant.”
“I'd go into a department store now and buy everything. It's who I am. I just love cosmetics.”
“It's amazing to know that my work as a Artist can influence women around the world, and my visions for new products can shape the future of beauty for women.”
“Everyone needs Skin Fetish 003 in their kit. It's the ultimate everyday essential for runway skin that looks as legendary in the office or on the street or as it does on social media.”
“Something most people don't know about me is that I'm obsessed with technology. With that in mind, the 'material' I'd most like to experiment is the material that has yet to be invented.”
“Sometimes nothing happens at a show for the first two hours, and in the last hour, we have to do all 70 girls. It's an adrenaline rush.”
“When I'm on set, I must focus on other people's make-up, not on mine.”
“I don't think there's ever going to be a time when metallics aren't going to be in. They're so gorgeous, they bring so much dimension to the face, they're easy to wear regardless of age or skin tone, and really, they're just a lot of fun.”
“It's amazing to be an incubator. Many of my muses have gone on to other brands.”
“My beauty regimen is simple but concise: I exfoliate my face once a week, then cleanse. If my skin needs an extra boost, I use SK-II Facial Treatment Mask and SK-II Eye Mask for about 20 minutes. It's the best thing for a healthy, glowing complexion.”
“Makeup is an extraordinary tool that allows me to share my inspirations, my fantasies, and my vision with the world.”
“That's the best pigment, anyways: something that works for everyone because it's just so rich.”
“The fatter the eyeliner, the easier it is to use. With a pencil, just draw the shape you like and clean up the mistakes with a bit of cleanser.”
“Social media has revolutionised how beauty is curated, captured, and consumed.”
“For fragrance, I apply a custom blend of essential oils and perfumes. I love spritzing Michelle Roques-O'Neil's Restore Therapie Aura Spray, which is an infusion that instantly rebuilds your energy.”
