which products do you consider your
must-haves to use on your celebrity clients? please share any/all
essential products that are kai offerings as well as non-kai offerings!
i always use body moisturizers as well as
a great hand cream on them. right now i’m using kai *rose body glow and kai *rose body butter as well as the *rose deodorant and *rose hand cream. my clients
love kai and so do i (i’m using the rose line at home too!).
must have makeup products are: armani or
cle de peau foundations, concealers from chanel and charlotte tilbury, fenty
beauty cream contour, christian dior and pat mcgrath eye shadows, ilia cream
blush, anastasia eye brow products…some of the favorite skincare products are:
vintner's daughter serum, la mer and sisley moisturizers, charlotte tilburry
magic cream, elta md sunscreen, and skinceuticals serums.
what are you seeing as the most popular
makeup trend for spring 2022?
i’m seeing influences from the very
popular hbo show euphoria. from bold or double winged liquid liner to pastel or
neon shadows, iridescent shadows, glitter, gems (rhinestones) or tiny pearls
around the eyes. anything goes. it’s all about having fun with makeup and
expressing individuality. i’m also seeing bright statement blush, glossy lips
making a comeback and classic red lips as well. lots to choose from!
are there any specific vitamins you
recommend or foods to eat that help keep your face and overall skin as healthy
and glowing as possible?
vitamins c, d and e are good for the
skin. you can take supplements or eat a healthy diet of fruits and veggies:
citrus foods, plant foods such as strawberries, broccoli and spinach for
vitamin c, salmon and tuna are good sources of omegas, daily sun exposure for
vitamin d, nuts and seeds for vitamin e…and of course plenty of water.
what has been the accomplishment that
you are most proud of during your career?
i won a makeup bafta, which is the
british equivalent of the oscar, for my work on american hustle. it was lovely
to have my work recognized. but i’m mostly proud of the relationships i have
maintained over the years with a few dear clients. the fact that they keep
asking me to work with them is a big accomplishment!
as you’ve done incredible makeup work
for your different clients for their appearances in so many amazing productions
& public events, is there a specific experience with a client whose look
you were most excited and proud of creating, that you could describe to us? we
would love to learn about this special moment. :) could you please share the
details about this experience (who, what, where, when, how)?
there have been many experiences with
different clients that come to mind. hard to pick one. most recently i enjoyed
creating the look for jennifer lawrence’s character in don’t look up. after i
was told that she would have red hair and saw some wig tests, i quickly decided
on thick black liner, face piercings, and more of a rusty orange palette. i
sent jennifer pictures of makeup looks i liked and was inspired by and she
loved them. the director did too, and turns out the costume designer had
similar research pics! so we all agreed on that look and tested it, and it
stuck!
thank you, evelyne!
