makeup hair max
I am a fast dresser, 30 minutes max with hair and makeup. I don't have a uniform, but I like to be comfortable.
makeup looks without-makeup
It's very often true that some women look better without makeup, but that's only during the day.
mean makeup skins
It's important to leave your face without makeup for a while after waking up...Let your skin breathe a while before applying your makeup, even if it means waking up a bit earlier.
fun makeup should-have
Makeup should have one function only - to make you look better, to make you more attractive...Makeup is a luxury, so it should be fun...Making up is like telling yourself a secret.
makeup phones light
I sit in the sink (while applying makeup). I do. I've broken more sinks...I sit in the sink, on top of a big square sink in my bathroom with my feet in the basin so I'm very close to the mirror with the good light, and I'm very comfortable. I also manage to put my two phones in the sink so that nothing, but nothing, could get me out of there.
being-yourself makeup important
What makes you attractive is being yourself, being natural, being unaware. Even though makeup is important, you should do it all, and then forget about it. You don't want to look like anyone else, any more than you want to be anyone else. You want to look like you. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery - but it's flattering to someone else. Not to you.
I never knew what I wanted to do, but I knew the kind of woman I wanted to be.
design hard life relationship work
The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, I'd say once you have that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life.
against healthy image industry putting represent responsibility wall women
The fashion industry has a responsibility to represent a healthy image of women, but to start weighing them and putting them against a wall and making them feel like animals? No.
aspects behave freedom however worked
I used the aspects of being a woman to my advantage, but I worked for myself, not a big corporation, so I was lucky to have the freedom to behave however I liked.
designed women
I have always been attracted to clothes designed by women. Coco Chanel, Vionnet, Norma Kamali, Donna Karan. They have a little more - how do I put it? - understanding.
The Chinese consumer is everybody. It's very simple.
afford bit
I was lucky because I got so successful so early, and when you get successful early, then you can afford to be a little bit humble.
interested stories women
Women inspire me... so I enjoy women's stories and biographies. I am interested in all women.
