If you want to look your best, be creative, try some new ideas, and have fun doing it.

I understood early that beauty was power.

That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.

Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness, I was never going to be forgiven.

Perfection is boring. If a face doesn't have mistakes, it's nothing.

For me, beauty is synonymous with uniqueness . . . perfection is mundane, boring, and emotionless. It is by celebrating the differences in others that we can begin to accept our own individuality.

Beauty might bring happiness, but happiness always brings beauty.
