How much did the designers direct your work?
"Some of the competitors came to me with an idea, and we would discuss it and refine it; others asked for my ideas. I would usually ask them, 'How do you imagine your customer when she's wearing your clothes?' This question helped start the collaborative process."
Were there any secret tricks or signature techniques that you used on the models?
"For TV and runway shows, the makeup has to be darker and more dramatic to have an impact. My tip for creating dramatic eyes -- which means applying a lot of mascara -- is to create the eye look before applying the foundation because often when you're creating a darker eye, some of the product drops onto the cheek area. By applying the foundation after the eye makeup, you can easily remove the excess makeup. Doing a great look quickly is the key to working backstage. Another tip is to have the models use L'Oréal Paris Sublime Glow, which is a moisturizer with a hint of self-tanner. It makes their skin look luminous on TV."
What were your top three makeup products that you couldn't have done the show without?
"L'Oréal Paris' Carbon Black Voluminous Mascara, True Match Super-Blendable Makeup and Infallible Never Fail Lipcolour."
What fall beauty trends did you showcase?
"Metallics. We also used a lot of eyeliner around the eyes for a neo-punk effect."
