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.

I always felt more comfortable with a full face of makeup.

When you’re with another actor who’s also been through five hours of prosthetic makeup, and you’re eating another person’s neck, and fake blood is being spurted out at you for two minutes, it’s incredibly fun, and you’re in character for that time. You can’t really believe that that’s your job.

My fingertips are my favorite makeup brush! I especially like to apply my eye shadow with them, get it nice and smudgy. All my favorite makeup artists used their fingers to apply and their hand as a palette.

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.

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.

I’m not someone that wants to control everything. I like to work with people that bring their talents to the project.

I have been interested in beauty from an early age. My sister used to put face masks on me and do me up with my mother’s makeup!

Personally, I don’t ever want to depend on makeup to feel beautiful.
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.
There’s nothing worse than sleeping in makeup. You wake up looking like a painting that’s been left out in a rainstorm.

Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside.

I don’t necessarily see my not wearing makeup as a social comment or that it’s because I work in a female-dominated industry.

The first thing I’ll do if I want to look really crappy is, I don’t wear any makeup at all.
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.
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 feel like makeup is a part of me, but it’s not who I am completely.
I may be the only actress in Hollywood who won’t need a face lift, because when I take off my makeup, I look so great compared to my characters!

My job requires me to always be on. I’m always getting my makeup done for a shoot.
I really like Neutrogena for skin care and CoverGirl makeup. I can’t stand heavy makeup. I feel like my skin can’t breathe, and CoverGirl is really light.
Before I go to bed, I brush my teeth and take off all my makeup. I like to use Neutrogena’s makeup remover wipes.
You see those magazines, ‘Oh, look at so-and-so without makeup, Halle Berry without makeup.’ It’s so crazy to wake up in the morning and have that thought – ‘Do I need to put makeup on? Do I need to do something because I know people are going to know who I am?’
I had to take my makeup off at work every night. I wasn’t allowed to do it at home because my mom said that when your work day is done, you’re done with work.
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 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 get a bit insecure if I feel like there’s too much makeup on my face or if I feel like I’m cakey.
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.
Whenever I don’t have to wear makeup, it’s a good day.
One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.
When I was a kid, I loved photography, and I loved makeup.
The hair and makeup is very important in a fashion picture. When I create a look for a girl, it starts with the makeup. Sometimes it takes an entire day to find the look.
I liked models since I was 3 years old. As I grew older, I started developing a penchant towards makeup, pedicures, etc. I used to carry out the procedures at my home itself.
Coconut oil is a must for everything. It is fresh from the earth, so it naturally works to moisturize my scalp, skin, hair and even helps to remove eye makeup. It also smells delicious. You can buy it at a beauty store or the grocery store.
I used to watch my mom put her makeup on for the stage, and it was one of the most special moments. I would sit quietly on the dressing room floor and watch her put her face on. I think she looks most beautiful in the morning when she wakes up with no makeup on… it’s my favorite look on women.
Makeup is scary. When I do it myself, it’s just mascara, and sometimes I forget even to do that.
Whenever I don’t have to wear makeup, it’s a good day.
I am thrilled FLIRT! tapped into me to be their new Style Ambassador.

What could be more fun than getting to play with makeup and fragrance and tell people all about it!
Prosthetic makeup is always frustrating.

Although I tend to favor a natural look, I also like to have fun with makeup.

For an everyday look, I use Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel as blush, or the Summer 2013 Bronzing Palette that a makeup artist from Armani gave to me – I love Armani makeup.
My favorite drugstore product is Clean and Clear makeup removing cleanser. It gets the makeup off in one wash – not three or four.
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.
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 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!’
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.

I love eye makeup. I really like doing a cat eye, playing with liquid liners and different colors of liners, like emerald and deep blues, combining them with black.

I find that putting my makeup on and playing with different looks is really relaxing for me before the show.
Makeup and fashion are a very blatant way of expressing who you are because it’s the first thing people see. With music, it’s more personal, where people really are trying to get into your head and learn about who you are.

Everyday… well, if I’m doing it myself, I have my five-minute makeup routine, which is I do tinted moisturizer, and then I do a quick concealer, and I use our bronzer every day. And then I have to curl my lashes, and then I do our Quickie mascara, and that’s it.
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.
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.
Competing in pageants made me hyper-aware of the unfair expectations society places on women in terms of youth and beauty. But it also gave me empathy for women who use beauty as a creative exploration. When expressed healthfully, dressing up, doing hair, crafting makeup, etc., is an art form.
Use coconut oil to remove makeup, and do it before going to bed.
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.
When I was a child, the world of makeup was so different. There wasn’t the wide range of shades available for darker skin tones like there is now.
I’m a tomboy, but I really love doing my makeup – I find it relaxing and grounding. With ‘The Daily Show,’ it was easier for me to do my own makeup. In the beginning, I watched a lot of YouTube tutorials. You find a beauty blogger who has your skin tone, and pretty much everything they use will look good on you.
One of the things that seems absolutely clear to me about werewolves – with their canine makeup – is that they would be dogs, as it were.
I’m attracted to roles where I don’t have to wear makeup.

I’m a big believer in that if you focus on good skin care, you really won’t need a lot of makeup.
To me, beauty and makeup and color is like the finishing touch on everything.

I know how influential I am over my fans and followers. I feel like everything I do, my hair color, my makeup, I always start these huge trends, and I don’t even realize what I’m capable of.
The power of makeup is incredible, but the power of you is cray cray.
At a shoot, I’m really aware of everything. When they do makeup, sometimes I can’t see what they’re doing, but I can feel it. I know what I look like, even when I can’t see what they’ve done. I know how to compose myself.
What I love most about makeup is that you can’t get attached to one thing, one idea, or one approach – and once you’ve achieved perfection, you have to wipe it all off and start over the next day.
For makeup, a bit of blusher – what you call bronzer – a bit of an eye, and an eyelash curler.
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.
I’ve found that motherhood helps you figure out what absolutely needs to be done and what doesn’t. You just learn to do everything quicker and quicker – your style and your makeup gets more refined and generally easier.
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.
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.
When I’m doing my own makeup, I just stick to a bit of black liner, some blush and a nude glossy lip.
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.
When I do my own makeup, I always start with Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.
Me and my daughter, we are obsessed with makeup and so are our followers, and we communicate, we want to know what they like, what they want, what is their perfect, ideal product that’s missing on the market? So everything we create, we share and we give credit to our followers.
It’ll seem convenient ’cause I am ambassador for the charity, but Look Good Feel Better launched a set of makeup brushes through Priceline, and I use the multi-tasking brush to apply my liquid foundation. It’s wonderful. As good as the Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Face brush, which I also use.
I found myself sort of becoming a character actor, though I don’t know if that would be my natural makeup.
I love makeup so much, but I’m very bad at doing my own makeup. Italian girls don’t wear very much, so when I do put on makeup it’s just very, very natural.
I like to maintain a certain sense of fantasy in my life. I am kind of like that at home. Do I have the full hair and makeup? No. But I might have the nice dress on.
Just because you want to be glamorous, don’t be a sheep about your eye makeup.
Why is there such vanity about hair? I make a point to bathe. I worry about boogers in my nose, and I ask the makeup artist to cover up my pimples, but beyond that, I try not to be too vain.
Makeup looks better if your skin is not dry. And sometimes, if my skin peels, then it’s all just bad. Basically, take care of your skin to make your makeup look nice.
I love Emma Watson’s makeup a lot. I love Cate Blanchett. I’m biased, though. I love my makeup artist, Julie Harris; she is really phenomenal, but everyone has their technique, and there are incredible-looking girls out there.
Honey, I am going to my grave with my eyelashes and my makeup on.
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.
Everything I know about makeup, I’ve learned from my sister.
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.
I’ve always loved makeup. I’m very, very girly. I used to sit and watch my mum get ready. My mum is very glamorous, and I remember sitting on her bed and watching her apply her makeup, get dressed, and do her hair.
It’s one thing to evaluate a woman’s work. it’s another thing to say, ‘Your hair was this; your makeup was that.’
I know some women are intimidated by makeup.
My mum had a massive influence on me, not just in what she wore and how she looked, but in her spirit. She was married to one of the most famous men in the world, and she didn’t wear any makeup, ever. I mean, have you ever seen the wife of a man like that rock up with no makeup on? Because I haven’t since.
I’m a beauty guru, I just love all of that stuff. We have a makeup artist for ‘Dance Moms‘ that touches us up and stuff, but I love doing my own makeup; sometimes I do my friends’, too. My favorite is doing eye shadow and eyeliner.
My goal is that my makeup and style will inspire Midwestern housewives. I want there to be a breakdown of ‘Justin‘s smoky eye’ in Cosmo.
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 don’t know any neighborhoods where everyone’s walking around in seven-inch heels and perfect makeup.
I think there’s a perception out there that people know me based on these glamorous photos they see of me in magazines, but I have about two hours of hair and makeup and then people to dress me, to make me look even better, in those pictures.
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.
Whether you are sixteen or over sixty, remember, understatement is the rule of a fine makeup artist.
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.
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.
I think people need to have fun with whatever they’re doing – makeup, their clothes, music, live shows – anything you don’t need to take too seriously, don’t take too seriously.
I go into work and get my hair and makeup done, go into wardrobe. I have to do three hours of school a day.
Randomly enough, my older sisters went to a makeup school when they were younger, so they’re all really good at it. They’ve always told me that ‘natural is better.’
If you’re not wearing a lot of makeup, you don’t have to take a lot of it off. So, my goal is to wear the least amount of makeup possible so I don’t have to steam my face and take it all off.
I am a simpleton at heart. In my personal life, I don’t wear makeup.
I was a tomboy growing up. Even after I started modeling at thirteen, I didn’t learn how to do my makeup.
I never go bed without taking my makeup off.
For skincare, I’m a Clean and Clear girl. Especially with the humidity in Georgia, Clean and Clear has been pretty good to me with all of the makeup we have to wear. My skin really responds to that product. I’m also a big fan of Kiehl’s under-eye avocado cream.
A lot of my friends say, ‘Did you even put on makeup?’ and that’s exactly what I want.
I don’t like to look at myself in the mirror, which is why my eye makeup is always crooked.
After a long shoot day, I’m usually wiped. I’ll come home and take a hot shower and get off the makeup that had caked itself onto my face.
I love to roll out of bed and throw something on. 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 do my own makeup for events and red carpet stuff.
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.
If I have makeup, I use a cleanser, but otherwise, I just use a hot cloth at the end of the day to keep moisture in my skin without stripping it off. I do splurge on La Mer, but other than that, I use just use Nivea from the drugstore!
My favorite makeup look was for my ‘Eyes Wide Open’ video done by Torsten Witte. It was so dramatic and definitely captured the magic of the video.
I was watching ‘Up In The Air’ and I thought, ‘Jesus, who’s the old gray-haired guy?’ And it was me. I never wear makeup for movies and now it’s starting to show.
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.
There’s bigger things to worry about than makeup.
When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I’m trying to portray.
A lot of times when I’m not at work I like to let my face breath and not put makeup on.
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.
I feel most beautiful at night, when I take my makeup off and it’s just me.
The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural.
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’ve been working some really long hours for the last five or six years. Anybody who works on series television knows, and especially women because women spend probably two hours more than the guys with all their hair and makeup crap.
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.
In the early ’90s, it was grunge; everybody was fully clothed. Alanis Morissette was one of the biggest artists in the world, never wore makeup, wearing Doc Marten boots, and then the Spice Girls turn up, and suddenly it all looks a bit burlesque; suddenly they’re the biggest band in the world.
Glitter is my makeup of choice.
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.
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.
When I was younger, my goal in life was to work in special FX makeup. Liquid latex and fake blood! That was the dream!
I chose makeup over photography because there was something very sensual about makeup that I loved. But photography was always in the back of my mind. That was always something that I was very connected with: looking at magazines, enjoying photography, and then taking pictures myself when I was a kid.
Some people say, ‘If she’s so real, why does she call herself with a made-up name?’ Well, India is my real name. Or they say, ‘If she’s so real, why does she wear makeup?’ I didn’t know there was anything wrong with makeup.
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.
My favorite thing to pass the time in the makeup chair is YouTube videos of talking cats. I don’t know why, but they make me laugh.
I have really big features, so a little makeup goes a long way. I would hate to look like a clown.
I honestly hate wearing makeup.
When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it’s not to get attention.
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.
When it comes to lipstick and makeup, I love MAC.
I’d like to dress up more often and wear dresses, but I never get the chance. I’d also like to learn to do my own makeup.
I love natural beauty, and I think it’s your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
There’s a very old tradition of theater actors doing their own makeup. It’s like putting on your mask. There’s an element of storytelling involved in it – you put on your character when you put on your makeup. At least, that’s how I like to look at it.
Personalized beauty is about each woman being able to create her own makeup routine that complements her coloring and style.
It was the early Seventies, and I discovered makeup by going through my mother’s fashion magazines. I fell in love with the photos, the models, the fashion.
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 I stopped drinking… there were so many things I had to face that I didn’t even realize were part of my makeup before. When you do that and have any changes that severe, you lose a lot of things, both good and bad.
I don’t wear makeup on the court, but I always wear sunblock. I love getting done up and wearing makeup away from the court though!
I think that makeup can be challenging, especially when you are younger.
The sweetest thing a guy said is that I look pretty with or without makeup.
I only wore makeup when I went onstage.
I think what makes a woman naturally more beautiful is when she starts believing in herself and starts getting more confident because you can have the most expensive makeup, you can get a lot of services done, but if deep inside you’re still not happy and confident, that’s going to show.
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.
Pageant makeup is so different from your day-to-day look. When you’re on stage you really have to pack it on.
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.
On one hand I am this weird androgynous tomboy where I’m strangely low maintenance and have a five-minute makeup regimen. On the other I’m obsessed with all things beauty, from skin care to makeup.
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 think happiness is a choice. If you feel yourself being happy and can settle in to the life choices you make, then it’s great. It’s really, really great. I swear to God, happiness is the best makeup.
My makeup is usually left over from the night before.
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.
Anytime I’m playing music or getting ready to record, Duane Allman will enter my thoughts, and so will Berry Oakley. It’s part of my musical makeup and mental process when it comes to music. We learned to play together and taught each other a lot.
I’ll do my makeup in the car sometimes.
I wear makeup pretty much every day. For training, I usually do a lighter base, a lighter blush and I used the mascara and a little bit of the lip gloss.
I think a natural look is prettier. I rarely wear makeup, but we always wear sunscreen on our faces.
I love having my hair and makeup done for red carpets, but to have that done every day would be exhausting.
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.
There are a lot of perks when you’re an actor. Free food at work was my second favorite in the beginning, but my first was the weird stuff. Like seeing celebrities in no makeup and finding out what they ate.
Dress how you’re comfortable. Wear the makeup that you’re comfortable in – or don’t wear it.
‘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.
Aging gracefully is about no heavy makeup, and not too much powder because it gets into the wrinkles, and, you know, to not get turtle eyelids and to not try to look young.
Makeup is very important for a show. It’s really an accessory on the runway. You have to be sure that it fits the clothes.
From the beginning of my career, I’ve used makeup as a vehicle to express my vision, my obsessions, inspirations, and addictions. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing young people recreate some of my iconic looks.
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 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 interested in learning more about myself and what I value in myself and letting that be the beautiful part of me, rather than putting on the makeup or wearing the right designer.
I know a lot of people who don’t wash their makeup off of their face at night, and I think that’s the worst thing ever. So my thing is, if you ever have a day that you get dolled up, you have to wash all of that makeup off.
The first time I met Beyonce she was about 18 years old, sitting in a makeup chair eating fried chicken, and I knew it was only a matter of time before everyone would know her name.
People need to know about the Biossance makeup remover cloths. They’re biodegradable, so I don’t feel bad throwing them out.
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.
If I’m wearing makeup, I always wash my face. Washing my face is a must.
The first thing I do after work is take off my TV makeup with a gentle cleanser. I also try to exfoliate twice a week. Waking up with dull, flaky skin is no way to start the day.
That Shaw is the most egotistical thing! He hogged the camera and spent more time with the hairdresser and the makeup man than any actor on the lot!
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.
I’m girlie in the sense that I like makeup, but I also love sports and man food.
I’m a big believer in that if you focus on good skin care, you really won’t need a lot of makeup.
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.
Oh I love not wearing makeup, that’s like my favourite thing.
Nobody who cooks does it with full hair and makeup in front of a TV camera.
I use Rodin Luxury Face Oil at night, and it keeps my skin hydrated and refreshed for the day – not tired from all the makeup.
Because of the makeup of the NBA, it cannot afford for the public to turn on them.
Makeup, in general, is amazing.
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.
There have been times in my life when I have felt like I can’t go out without my makeup on. But now I just put on some dark glasses so people can’t see if I look rough!
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.
Every day, I feel different. Sometimes I don’t put on any makeup, and other times, I put on a ton.
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.
I refuse to dress ‘hot’ for Halloween, ’cause I always have to have makeup and hair and look cute for my job. So on Halloween, I either go gory or weird or funny.
Some people ask me, Do they put aging makeup on you? It’s just this very nice street makeup.
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.
There are a lot of people who do a lot of things to be outrageous with fashion, hair or makeup.
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.
Having done ‘M. Butterfly,’ I’m conscious of the choices women make with their clothes and makeup on screen.
By the end of Fashion Week my apartment is covered with makeup and clothes and shoes. Everything you can think of.
I dress like a boy most of the time because I like what’s comfortable, so sometimes when I have to wear dresses and makeup, it’s kind of comedic.
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.
I had no connections, and the fashion world was a closed elite. So my mother made appointments for herself with three top Parisian makeup artists and spoke highly about me… she was my first publicist!
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!
Makeup can make a woman look more beautiful at every age.
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.
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.
All the makeup in the world won’t make a difference without great skincare.
I don’t believe in anything artificial. I don’t believe in makeup.
Adjust your makeup to the light in which your wear it.
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 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 love natural beauty, and I think it’s your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
I grew up in a makeup chair. And to see the women around me getting ready was so aspirational. It’s about mothers and daughters, a girl watching her mom at a vanity table.
It’s one thing to read about how makeup is applied. It’s another thing altogether to watch it being put on.
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 always remove my makeup before sleeping and moisturise before bed and in the morning.
During the day, I don’t wear much makeup; I only put on makeup for the show.
I think probably, the makeup artists don’t really know how long it’s going to take until they really work with your face and they kind of mold it and build it as they’re going along.
My mom is super fabulous, and I remember her telling me at 13, ‘You can start wearing makeup now.’ And the funny thing is, I didn’t take her up on it!
My parents were New Yorkers, and I was conceived in Los Angeles. My father was a makeup artist to Clint Eastwood and Richard Chamberlain.
When I’ve got all the makeup on and all the spit, polish and glue together, I look fine. But I know what I really look like, and I’m still that same little kid under there. I don’t think I look that great. I think I did a good job of creating Morgan Fairchild. But I created her.
Early on in my career, I’d go into the makeup trailer, and they’d spend an hour doing my makeup, and I would hate it. I’d go into the bathroom, wash it off and start over again, which took an enormous amount of time. So I just started doing it myself.
I used to wear more makeup, but I’ve learned to enjoy being natural.
I think in spring, we don’t want to wear makeup, we don’t want to wear a ton of clothes, we just want everything to be easier.
When I’m doing my makeup, my favorite feature to enhance is the brows. They frame your face – good eyebrows are so important.
The ’80s and ’90s were the greatest time to be a makeup artist.
When I am an old woman, I will stop trying to look beautiful. I will quit wearing makeup and buying uncomfortable clothes because they look good. Maybe I will take up nudism.
I would find myself in these photo shoots with models and makeup, and I got swept up in it all.
I love watching YouTube makeup tutorials of girls who are so brave and show others how to blend in foundation on blemish-prone skin. I’ve considered creating my own YouTube tutorial for other girls just to show that everyone has these problems.
I’m still so young, so I feel like people have wanted to keep me in a ‘no-makeup’ fresh type of look – sometimes artists are a little afraid of really putting the makeup on me.
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.
It’s amazing, coconut oil. I use it as a moisturizer. I put it in my hair when I want a kind of greasy look. I take off my makeup with it. I put a little bit in my coffee. I have coconut oil with everything.
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.
Whenever I do my own makeup, I usually only do foundation, bronzer, and mascara.
I’m hoping I’ll eventually get to be a beauty blogger myself because I do my own makeup, and I have for years.
I’m actually more comfortable playing the stroke victim or the girl with no makeup on, looking scruffy and it’s all about what’s going on inside rather than on the outside.
All the Warner actors were real actors. They started in theater and led very straightforward lives – you never saw entourages around. The MGM girls were the glamour girls, and they always had the makeup and hair people with them and all that.
I go to conventions all the time. I’m not one of those actors who’s public-shy, meaning I don’t mind when someone comes up. It doesn’t happen often in the real world because people don’t recognize me because I was in makeup, but when it does, I don’t usually mind it at all if somebody says something.
You mean the fact that Tom Arnold would spend more time with the hair and makeup people than I would?
The last thing we need is yet another makeup company. Even I have a nervous breakdown when I go through the department store makeup floor.
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 was a real tomboy for most of my life. Then I went through a really girlie period, then through a goth phase. I was so obsessed with my hair and makeup, and I was having so much fun as a teenager playing with my look.
I wash my face every night with Ivory soap, and I don’t wear much makeup.
For the record: I wear makeup. All. The. Time. But I do it in a way that looks natural.
Less is more! I don’t wear makeup if I don’t have to.
I think I was about 14 when I did my first makeup. I was like, ‘Wow, I really like this what do you call it? Makeup thing?’
I really like the Glycolic Cleansing Pads because they’re super easy. Sometimes it’s annoying to scrub your face with your hands, but these are just little pads, so I like that. I also really like the Kale Fix Moisturizer and Dragon‘s Blood Fix Serum. The Dragon’s Blood is good for priming before your makeup.
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!’
Sean Young is such a sweetheart and just absolutely lovely. From day one, she was just very easy to be around. She’s definitely a ‘mom’ and very much a girl’s girl. She likes talking about makeup and the business and just being a woman.
Doing makeup was a way to create characters, only I got tired of doing it for other people.
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’ve seen makeup destroy people and make them look bad if it’s badly done.
I don’t have to wear any other makeup as long as I have blush.
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 want to be a guy, but I want to wear a lot of makeup.
Moisturizer is the base for my makeup, because I like a glowy, dewy, shiny look – I’d never use powder – so I always start with cream.
I did ‘Slither,’ so I’ve done seven hours in the makeup chair. So two hours for zombie makeup is like nothing. That’s a walk in the park for me. When you do seven-hour makeup and then eight hours of work, you’re thinking, ‘Oh God, what did this do to me?’ You’re under that rubber forever. It’s crazy.
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.
I love when I go out and I have my hair and makeup done, but I also like it when I’m just with the family because that’s real.
I always wanted to be a makeup artist. When I don’t get to have my stylist, I do my own makeup!
Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
It was a whole new attitude: no makeup, less is more… the ’90s were fun!
Being an actress my whole life, it feels so good to have a clean face when I’m off, so I’m not a big makeup wearer.
Makeup can help you capture a moment.
All that prosthetic makeup drains you. By the time it’s lunch, you’re done.
I’ve always had a glam squad to do my makeup because of Miss India and Miss World, so I never really learned much about doing it myself, unfortunately. I do try to pick up what I can, though! The most incredible product that has ever been discovered in makeup, according to me, is mascara.
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.
I’m trying to look natural and not painted. I’m typically fighting hair and makeup teams because I’m always saying, ‘Can I wear less? Can I look natural and fresh?’
If you look at most beauty advertisements, you would think that makeup is only for beautiful women in their early twenties.
I don’t have to wear any other makeup as long as I have blush.
I’m a good skin, natural makeup kind of gal.
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.
Since we started putting together our makeup collection, Kardashian Beauty, I’ve been extra invested in our list of no-no ingredients. It’s an ingredients black list that we don’t allow into the products – no parabens, no sulfates.
Good skin is the best foundation for your makeup.
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.
America, you’re sending girls a mixed message. On one hand, you’re saying to have positive body image and love who we are; on the other, we’re being marketed makeup and clothing that obviously turns us into someone different.
I think a natural look is prettier. I rarely wear makeup, but we always wear sunscreen on our faces.
I have little routines in the theater. Once I’ve established something, like the order of putting on makeup and a costume, I have to invariably do it in the same order every time, even if I only did it by chance the first time round.
I love attention. I love going to events and photo shoots… I enjoy it all; the clothing, the makeup, the excitement.
What I do is I remove my makeup every night, use a little bit of Vitamin C serum, and that’s it, pretty much. Of course, I use my 3D White products!
I don’t ever wear makeup. I steam my face. I put hot water to open pores and cold water to close them.
I tend to wear flats and jeans and no makeup and walk around, go to the grocery store, and do whatever I have to do.
I just love to glow, glow glow, so with my skincare and makeup routine, I gravitate to products that help me achieve that sun-kissed, dewy look.
I think women should wear whatever makeup they want for themselves. Makeup should be fun.
I wanted to be a prosthetic makeup artist after watching ‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’.
I don’t think I could live without hair, makeup and styling, let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.
I did makeup for a plus-size model a month after I officially quit acting. It was just fate. The photographer was like, ‘Have you ever thought of modeling?’ It may have been the one thing I never thought was possible for me.
I love Neutrogena’s Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes. They get all my makeup off and are really moisturizing.
I admire anyone who does stage all their life. It’s so tough, and it also made me really appreciate how lucky I am with film. You have to do your own makeup with stage, and you have to do so many un-glamorous things.
When I’m not shooting, I don’t wear much makeup. I just moisturize and maybe put on a berry-colored balm on my lips and cheeks, and then mascara – that’s it. My face and hair gets abused every single day, so I try take it easy on off days.
I think that it’s really nice to learn that makeup is different for every person. Everyone has a different feature on their face that they like to show off.
I’m wondering if I made the right decision about hair and makeup.
As Australians, we see the law as inherently bad. We have a real inherent distaste for authority in our makeup.
In real life, I’m always in tracksuits, and I never wear makeup.
Too much makeup on an older woman can really make you look like a freak.
Women don’t want to feel like they’re wearing makeup. I hope I was partly responsible for that.
My mom never used to put makeup on. But one day, when I was a kid, she had a red lip, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, you look so amazing!’ She said, ‘But if I wore it all the time, you would not have noticed.’
Some actors specialize in shooting weapons and punching people. Some have the market on playing buffoons cornered, others specialize in roles that require heavy makeup or outrageous wardrobe. Some trade exclusively in a post-ironic blase attitude.
In middle school, I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup. I secretly bought Maybelline’s SuperStay 24-hr. concealer at CVS. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.
I always do the same makeup because it’s what works with my face. Just eyeliner and lots of mascara – very ’60s.
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.
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.
No makeup can substitute for faces that have actually been under the sun.
If you’re meeting someone for the first time after three hours of hair, makeup, and styling, you’ve already set the bar too high.
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.
Every time I get my makeup professionally done, I take a photo.
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’m not cut out to be a famous person; I can’t do my hair and makeup well enough.
I can’t wear a little makeup. I have to wear a lot of makeup or no makeup.
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.
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.
Even if I have no other makeup on, I always want a nude lip, and if I’m going to do a bright, I want it to be matte.
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.
Because makeup happens in my life as an actor, face wash is a key. I use La Mer cleansing gel every morning, every night, sometimes three times a day. Also, I use Bobbi Brown’s Hydrating Face Tonic that you put on after you wash your face. It just rejuvenates your face. It takes away that morning face.
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.
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.
I don’t use any makeup if I’m not doing work.
I had a feeling it was gonna work out because not only did I enjoy the music and hit it off with the guys, but I was into theatrical rock and was willing to wear makeup and do anything to make it.
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.
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 was at Pepperdine University in Malibu, and during my sophomore year, I played a dying burn victim on ‘ER.’ The makeup artist put burn makeup all over my body and I couldn’t move or eat for 12 hours. I lost 8 pounds that week.
I’m not a real makeup girl – you see me in lots of makeup on ‘Housewives,’ but I’m really all about skin. Take it from me: Wash, moisturize, and never neglect the neck.
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.
I find most men don’t like a lot of makeup.
I had a blog and was documenting my life as a college student in an art school. I had a few comments left by a few girls asking if I could do a tutorial on how I did my makeup. I didn’t think my makeup was all that special, but I try my best to share whatever I can with my viewers.
Makeup is all about creativity to me.
I’m naturally androgynous. I don’t wear makeup or skirts.
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.
For a clean makeup finish, I use Cle de Peau translucent pressed powder.
If I looked good in ‘Wolf of Wall Street,’ I cannot take full credit; it was because of the hair extensions and makeup.
Makeup is something that is meant to enhance your features, not to make you look like something you’re not.
I will take off my makeup with wipes and then wash my face again. Then, I use a toner, moisturizer, and under-eye cream. I love vitamin E oil and coconut oil.
But quite honestly, personally, I was much more concerned – I mean, there’s not much I can do about my appearance obviously other than spending four hours in hair and makeup.
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.
From the start, I used a different kind of girl in Nars campaign images. My choice to use models of colour such as Alek Wek, Naomi Campbell and Karen Park Goude was absolutely a deliberate one. I felt that makeup was universal and should apply to everybody.
I’m not really into makeup, not really into fuffing with hair and stuff.
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.
I am a fast dresser, 30 minutes max with hair and makeup. I don’t have a uniform, but I like to be comfortable.
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.
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.
I always keep my makeup really simple.
Vanity destroys your work. That’s the one thing you have to let go of as an actor. I don’t care how sexy or beautiful any woman is. At the end of the day, she has to take her makeup off. At the end of the day, she’s more than just pretty.
To the extent that someone goes out to criticize another woman about hair, makeup, silliness like that – unless you’re talking about a makeup artist or something, really stop and think about what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
Putting on makeup before work is a meditative exercise. It incites me to think about how I’ll tackle my day.
I love the confidence that makeup gives me.
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.
The hardest pill for me to swallow has been receiving recognition, getting dressed up, going to events. That’s the part that has always terrified me. You can see dozens of photos where I have zero hair and makeup and I’m wearing my own jeans and T-shirt, because I was not that interested in that side of it.
My parents are Jamaican immigrants and both have a multiracial background. They’re Jamaican but my genetic makeup is West African, European, Asian.
In high school I would mess with my hair and makeup all the time.
Strike the right balance between your outfit and makeup. Make a statement with one, not both.
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.
Bey’s mantra isn’t about putting on airs or makeup. For that matter, what makes Beyonce Beyonce is that thing we can all wake up with: confidence.
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 just couldn’t get into the high school scene at all. I was fat, ugly and weird. I just couldn’t do the makeup and the hairdos.
My vision was to create makeup that was more transparent but with formulas that last. I follow my instincts – it’s all very spontaneous!
