Last month we were invited to attend the 7th Annual Harper's Bazaar Fabulous at Every Age Contest Event at The Fashion Show Mall here on the Las Vegas strip! More details on the contest we are entering can be found at the end of the blog post!
We arrived at Saks Fifth Avenue and followed the music to the Estee Lauder counter!
SIDETRACKED
He was working on a client before us so we captured a shot of his Comme des Garçons PLAY x Converse Chuck Taylor®....ummm fell in love already!
BP: PERFECT make up is pageant make up. You have to find what works best for YOU!
S&E: YESSSS, that makes so much sense, we do not want to look like we are going to be on a stage EVERY SINGLE DAY, we do not want the KIT, that perfect look.
BP: Every artist knows a little bit of that, that is why you are addicted to certain looks on celebrities. They just wear it WRONG so WELL!
BP: I don't have TIPS, but I do have PHILOSOPHIES!
S&E: PERFECT! TELL us ALL OF THEM NOW! Ok what is on the top of your list of philosophies?
BP: Do the perfect smokey eye for instance, and then do something to mess it up a little.
S&E: DING DING DING! Well that is quite possibly the best tip philosophy you could have told us..because WE ARE NOT PERFECT haha all this time we have been trying to make our face look like everyone one else but what you are saying is those imperfections make us perfect!!! YAAASSSSS
BP: Have you ever fallen asleep with your make up on and wake up the next morning and LOVE the way your eyeliner looks? THAT is the look that I am talking about, just add to it to make it fresh!
S&E: So what you are saying is go to bed with our make up on from the club and then let em have it at work the next day? WE CAN DO THAT! haha just kidding, this is so good to know!
OK SO we watch Youtube tutorials and read so many magazines that are constantly giving us rules and current trends we must follow...sometimes we just don't know what to do!
BP: I read so many rules in magazines and I do not follow any of them.
S&E: Are you serious? Ugh what a relief!!! We are obsessed with them but sometimes they just don't work, even if we follow all of the steps perfectly! For instance this BAKING TREND? We try it and well it looks like we are LITERALLY baking crust under our eyes and NOT in a good way!
BP: There is nothing wrong with trying new things, but you have to pay attention to what works for you, if it doesn't work, don't do it!
S&E: By the way! Our eyebrows look amazing! Both of us use either a pencil or shadow, which pencil did you use on us today?
BP: I used the 3 in 1 Estee Lauder Brow Multi-tasker in dark brown on you ladies. I don't like a flat eyebrow, I like to use both a pencil and a shadow to add dimension!
BP: Well it depends on what you are doing. If you are taking photos then stay away from anything with SPF so you don't get that flash back. Today I am going to use the Estee Lauder Double Wear Light in color intensity #2 on Shana.
The light formula has a 24 hour staying power so it is great for all day but will also give a natural and flawless matte finish. It is medium-to-full coverage so it can be great for film or photos and only has an SPF of 10 unlike the Original Double Wear with no SPF. They are both great for controlling oil and both are oil free.
S&E: I see! We had no idea how important the SPF was as we take a lot of photos and are always filming! We also never change out the color of our foundation during the year, which is so smart!
When applying the foundation what tools do you like to use? a brush? sponge?
BP: I like both! With the Estee Lauder Double Wear & Double Wear Light I like to use a brush to get a more full coverage.
S&E: Aside from traveling & meeting amazing people like us BAHAHA j/k what do you love about working with Estee Lauder?
BP: Well traveling is one of my favorite parts, but learning global trends and global preferences is the best part. In Europe & Asia, they approach make up so differently than we do.
S&E: Was there anything in Asia specifically that you loved that you now use today?
BP: YES! In Asia they are very soft with their make up, it is almost like a dance... I have never seen anything like it..it is an experience!
S&E: Thank you so much for taking the time today to not only share with us a little more about you and your philosophies but actually apply them to our face! You knew at a young age that this was your passion and that is so inspiring to us and so many...
BP: Yes, sometimes even if you haven't gone to school or maybe even taken the course you have to just dive into the work and start doing what you love! THANK YOU! It was a pleasure meeting you ladies!
S&E: Where can everyone find you and follow you?
BP: You can find me on INSTAGRAM @BPMAKEUP
