Marie Claire: Hilary Swank Cover Shoot Video

Somebody once said to me that after a certain age, you don't go... you don't become a painter. When you put your make up on, you become an artless store. Can you... (listen to you Charles?). I think what you can... basically, would like a canvass, especially one that's maybe say 300 years old. But you know, when something's old, what they're doing when they're restoring is rehydrating. They're repainting. But they're putting in the essential oils again and I think that's what you wanna do once you hit age 35 to 45 range mark, you wanna definitely focus on hydrating your lashes, hydrating your lips, hydrating your skin. So, before I even think about putting make up on my face, I have to hydrate before. Absolutely. Yeah. That's interesting. The great thing about that is, whatever your make up look is, you're gonna have luminous skin. Your make up is not too heavy and also, hydrated skin absorbs the make up really well and gives you that more, sort of realistic look to your make up. You don't look so mask-like. Hollywood women that are in there 35 to 45 to 50 age range, they want the matte, center T-zone area. But then now, we've realized, women are (filling?) with cheeks. So, rather than just using one foundation, you could use two foundations. So, you buy the same color, but one in your matte formulation that you're gonna wear everyday. And then, if you're going out in the evening and you want that lovely, candle light glow and the luminosity, fantastic product. Nowadays, there are so many brands. Giorgio Armani, and what they do is they put (polymers?), they put shimmers and glimmer on there. And it's a great, yeah, just on your brow bone. Everything down your T-zone where you're keeping matter. So, what you're gonna have is two tones to your skin. Obviously, you don't want a big shiny, cheeks when you're 45. It's great when you're 19 perhaps. So, you wanna just keep in mind that there are products such as a lip fusion where they have chemicals in there that you can... not chemicals, but the formation is that you actually pump your lips. It's gonna make them feel and look fuller. So, it's like a quick fix, non-surgical option for people that are in their later, 35 to 40-year range. Also, mascara, a lot of women have been wearing the same mascara for a few decades. The one thing that you wanna know is that make up has been formulated and so is mascara. So now, they have extra (polymers?) to make them thicker and fuller, but they also have conditioning properties to it. So, obviously, you're in the (scar factory?) of the day. As you get older, think about the fact that you should be hydrating your lashes. I've never heard that. You think that when you're putting on a product on your lashes or over 25-30 years, you do affect them. And that sometimes, it's breakage, it's definitely a big thing. Yeah. And also, as far as they're growing. So, they start to fall out because you've been cleansing and reapplying all that. Well, I guess we conditioned our hair, why not condition our lashes? I've never heard that before. I know that sounds crazy, but it is fantastic. As far as eye shadows and color palates, nowadays, instead of just being told, this is the color palate this evening, you can actually go into the stores and create your own color palate. I think the most important thing to do is think about who you are and what you're doing. So, if you're somebody that's a very natural woman in the day at the office, pick two or three colors that are gonna be your stable. They're gonna give you a shape, form and make you feel who you are. Then on top of that, like when I can say in this palate here, we have colors that you could totally bring into night. So, for you and your direction, we could put a wash of green and then line the size of your eyes and then shimmery black and you're ready to go for dinner, or a corporate event, or just hanging out with your girlfriends. I noticed a lot of color on the runway, you know, like almost pop art colors. An older woman is hard to look at the runway and thinking, how am I gonna own that look? Even though I love that look on that girl, she's 17. How am I gonna own that? Looking at key elements, the eye shadow, the lip or the blush and owning what's best for you saying you have small amounts. So, maybe go for the eye look. Right. Looking at make up and shows and that sort of view point is a great way to come up with ideas to refresh an old and standard way of doing make up. Yes.
