I first learned how to do hair from drag queens. I learned eyelashes are the key to life, because they make everyone look fabulous.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I learned life from some good teachers.
I had a lot of growing up to do. A lot of times, I learned the hard way.
For me, the most important thing I learned was just honing my eye. I think I had a good eye.
I learned the importance of being confident. I think that at the end of the day, it's not so much about what you look like - it's really about the way that you feel. That resonates with people.
I think I've learned a lot just from being in the industry in general, and I never really thought about what to put in my hair to get a perfect beach wave until I started modeling. People will use certain products on me, and I learn that way.
As a young girl, I definitely struggled with knowing what to do with my hair. I was just in a neighborhood that had mostly white people, and the hair norm was long and sleek and straight. My hair naturally was curly, and I didn't have that many references.
I learned to draw everything except glamorous women. No matter how much I tried to make them look sexy, they always ended up looking silly... or like somebody's mother.
From a child, I knew I didn't have the face I wanted to have. My mother was a baroness. She was from Berlin; she was a silent movie actress and friends with Marlene Dietrich. So she knew all about film make-up and prosthetics and stuff like that and what they used to do in those days. And she taught me all that as a child.
Everything I know about makeup, I've learned from my sister.
Everything that I do to my own hair and makeup I learned from professionals.
