Men become much more attractive when they start looking older. But it doesn't do much for women, though we do have an advantage: make-up.

Sometimes you see women that don't realize that age is changing your style, and they don't change.

For girls growing up, sometimes I think they get the wrong idea for what women should look like.

With women, there's a basic female instinct of caring deeply about the way they look; women stars have a narcissist complex.

I don't have to go to a doctor and have my face changed. It terrifies me that women do that.

I look young. I heard this said so often that it became irritating. I once worked as a babysitter for a woman who, the first time we met, said she didn't want somebody in high school. I was 22. Later, I realised that in certain places being female and looking 'young' meant it was more difficult to be taken seriously, so I turned to make-up.

Women of every age and size really just want to look sexy, while retaining their power and dignity.

I often feel like a pretender when wearing makeup. The most beautiful features in a woman are her character and her experiences. Why hide that?

I think women have always been trying to look healthy. The makeup artists just teach you the quick cheats.

I, like many women, buy into patriarchal standards of beauty every day. I very rarely leave the house without make-up. I dye my hair. I wear clothes that I choose carefully for how they make me look to the outside world.
