Zitat des Tages von Kevyn Aucoin:
Another thing that's pathetic is this rule that you have to look ugly to get respect as an actress. Jessica Lange had to make herself look really bad to prove that she had amazing talent.
I'd rather have huge success and huge failures than travel in the middle of the road.
The faces I see in the modeling industry can get dull.
Kids threw rocks at me, told me I was ugly and left death threats in my locker.
Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.
I think the responsibility lies with the fashion world as a collective. We have to demand more variety.
There are two types of people in the world: people who are passionate about things, and people who've had their passion punched, beaten, or whatever out of them.
Perfection is boring. If a face doesn't have mistakes, it's nothing.
Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.
That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.
I made a crash landing here on Earth on February 14, 1962, in the Shreveport Catholic Charities Home for un-wed mothers. The infamous Bonnie and Clyde lost their lives just miles from where I was born. Like outlaws ourselves, my birth mother and I were on the run from the day she found out I was part of her.
Yes, but everyone is beautiful to someone.
I spent much of my life hiding.
I'm very passionate about what I do.
When I was growing up, the men in my life were abusive; women were the ones I ran to for comfort.
Today I see beauty everywhere I go, in every face I see, in every single soul.
Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.
It's our hearts and brains that we should exercise more often. You can put on all the makeup you want, but it won't make your soul pretty.
I'm not saying that putting on makeup will change the world or even your life, but it can be a first step in learning things about yourself you may never have discovered otherwise. At worst, you could make a big mess and have a good laugh.
Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness, I was never going to be forgiven.
I was absolutely lost in love and life when I did my drawings. Time stood still.
Life is too short to spend hoping that the perfectly arched eyebrow or hottest new lip shade will mask an ugly heart.
