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.
The lipstick, to make a matte that feels like heaven, is unheard of.
I've always wanted to have my own business, but not in the traditional sense... I always found that quite off-putting. I just wanted to be different.
My mother was my first and most important influence. When I was a little girl, she would take me shopping for pigments that flattered dark skin tones, mixing and playing until she'd created her ideal shade.
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.
For a fast touch-up, mix a lipstick with a little bit of balm to create a stain. You can also use your foundation as a concealer.
