Robin Fierce: Makeup is freedom. Freedom to express. Freedom to create. An escape that can be kinda magical. But it’s also kinda like a home where you can just be you.
Plasma: It feels like I’m putting on my hero costume, my super suit. It’s not a defense mechanism, [though]… it’s more about unleashing your inner potential once you get rid of your outer insecurity.
What’s your favorite part of the makeup process?
Briar Blush: I love doing my eyes. I think eyes are the windows to the soul.
Indigo Inferno: My lips. Lipstick is my last step and it brings everything together. I always love a nineties nude lip with a dark liner.
Daniella Darling: I’m a lips girl. Even if I have no makeup on, I still like to have a red lip. Every time I put the lip on, I feel like everything comes together and I’m ready to go.
Sunday: My favorite step is always [to put in] contacts. I love how contacts can really transform a look.
Rify Royalty: It would have to be my eyebrows.
Shia Ho: Playing with lights and darks to create shadows and highlights to change the way my face looks with makeup. Being able to transform your face with makeup is really exciting for me.
Digna: I would say lashes. Because once you get the lashes on, you just feel like you’re that girl.
