✍ = 中文翻譯On her makeup evolution: "I would go through my mother's makeup kit, and I think she thought it was really cute. I was only three or four years old. But then I had to stop to fit into social norms—until the age of 13, when I went through an emo phase. I experimented with dark eyeliner, really light foundation, and skinny jeans. It was a way of expressing myself through this kind of subculture...being able to look pretty without having to explain too much. My look evolved from that, becoming more and more feminine. I would sneak a little eye shadow before I went to class every morning. Maybe a bit of blush. During one period when I started hanging out with the popular girls, we'd use heaps of orange bronzer. But those were the days of Paris Hilton and The Simple Life."
On working in the shadows: "I have a very angular face, so my makeup routine is focused around softening my features, and I've finally learned how to contour to my advantage. A makeup artist once told me, 'Highlight and contour are the bra, and blush is the breast.' You concentrate on doing the highlight and the darkening, then use a little blush to fill out the breast."
On her secret weapon: "I keep Make Up For Ever Brow Seal in my pocket all the time because I have big, bushy eyebrows, and I need to keep them sleek. That's probably the product I use most."
On her role models: "I'm six foot one, so I'm very inspired by these sort of Amazon beauties. Veruschka, to me, is God. Growing up I was quite self-conscious about getting too tall, but then I realized, You know what? I can use it to my advantage. Big is beautiful."
On her recipe for flawless skin: "I've recently gotten really into matcha. It's like drinking ten green teas in one serving, and it's amazing for your skin. I take biotin and silica for my hair to grow faster, but it's good for your skin, too. For skin care, I've used Paula's Choice ever since I was young. I also like doing masks in the shower, either Jurlique or GlamGlow. A line that I recently discovered is iS Clinical. Their Eclipse SPF 50 is a great lightweight daily moisturizer. I've been using SPF in the summers and winters since I was 16—it's the best anti-aging product."
On scoring a makeup contract: "After I completed my transition and was living my life completely as a woman, I decided to share my story with the public. I thought, Whatever happens, happens. When Make Up For Ever approached me [about a contract], it was very early on in the transgender movement—even before Caitlyn [Jenner]. I was like, Wow. I didn't expect that so soon. It's major for any model to have a makeup contract. For me, it's a great career step, but it's also nice just to show that this is possible. I can do what any other girl can do."
