Going back to the beginning of your beauty journey, what are your earliest memories of beauty?
Seeing my mom put on a full face of makeup, then get in the bath to emerge with a dewy finish. It was next level, but that’s where I became obsessed with fashion and beauty—it was passed onto me at seven years old. This obsession led me to create my first skincare product as a child. It was a moisturizer where I mixed all the ingredients and then let it set overnight in the refrigerator. I can still recall to this day sitting down at my mother’s vanity and carefully patting it onto my cheeks. I felt like a film star.
What does beauty mean to you now?
True beauty comes from within. It’s kindness, compassion, laughter, and authenticity. It’s the energy you bring to the world. Makeup is a tool we use to express ourselves, depending on our moods and what we want to communicate. I love the versatility of makeup and the impact it can create.
You’ve just finished a marathon of fashion weeks and created a host of fresh, new looks. What are you most excited for in 2023?
This season was so refreshing and beautiful. The looks were inspired by sublime skin, minimal majorness, and decadent drama. When it comes to natural, subliminal looks, we introduced the idea of gorgeous, radiant, done-undone skin while creating a classic look that has been evolved and refined. We’re calling it Sublime Skin meets Minimal Majorness because we wanted minimal product but with a MAJOR impact—revealing pure luminosity with undetected textures. Incorporating neutral definition with subtle, buildable eye looks using the MTHRSHP Mega: Celestial Nirvana Palette gave us so many options for all skin tones.
