My earliest memory was watching my mother do her makeup. She was obsessed with beauty and collected makeup and experimented with it. I think it's a lot of young men and women's experiences, growing up: watching the ritual of what their mothers would do.

For blue eyes, use warm browns, peaches, and yellows to compliment the eyes. Brown and hazel eyes sparkle in blue and purple shades, which flatters the orange undertone of brown eyes. Green eyes stand out in burgundy and plum shades like CoverGirl Queen Collection Vivid Impact Eyeliner in Cabernet.

Thin applications and small amounts in the right places is kind of the way to go with metallics for every day.

Every single member of my Artistry and Pat McGrath Labs Brand Teams - making this dream a reality would not be possible without them.

I wear very natural makeup, but it's made up out of five foundations to make that perfect skin, and my lipstick might be three different lipsticks mixed together, so it's a kind of obsession in a different way.

I think you always want things to get better, and that's been my view ever since I've been in this industry. So it's great to see there's more diversity, but it could always get better.

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.

You can't do shiny skin for high-definition cameras without it looking awful. HD shows off all of your imperfections. Even selfies require a flawless finish.

You can't be lazy in fashion. You're always going to be surprised.

Channel your heartbreak into work, then use that extra money to treat yourself to a new handbag.

Let the people you love know that you truly love them.

What I love most about makeup is that you can't get attached to one thing, one idea, or one approach - and once you've achieved perfection, you have to wipe it all off and start over the next day.
