I had a great time being a guest on the Grazia Beauty Life Lessons podcast, where I shared my expertise as a makeup artist, bestselling author, and beauty expert. During the episode, we talked about how I keep my red-carpet clients like Victoria Beckham, Cara Delevingne, and Sienna Miller looking flawless all night, the importance of skincare, my thoughts on TikTok makeup artists, and my perspective on tweakments. Here are a few makeup tips I shared:
- Less is more as you age; too much makeup can actually make you look older by weighing down drooping eyelids.
- Focus on evening out your skin tone rather than layering on products. Start with a light base and only use concealer where needed.
- Opt for waterproof mascara to prevent smudges. Use a lighter formula for a defining look and make sure to use an oil-based remover for easy removal.
- Apply eyeliner to the upper waterline for subtle definition without overwhelming intensity.
When it comes to red carpet makeup, it’s not just about the makeup itself. I consider factors like the event timing and red carpet conditions before creating a touch-up kit for my clients, complete with essentials like loose powder, eye drops, concealer, lipstick, and an eyebrow brush. Listen to the episode to discover my must-have skincare and makeup products, my long-standing favorites, and the beauty techniques to steer clear of. I also delve into the latest tweakment trends, including why I’ve been moving away from Botox. Thanks, Grazia, for having me on the show! You can catch my episode and the full series here.
