Who would have guessed that in one week, I would work and chat with the likes of Hugh Bonneville, who plays the serious Lord Grantham in Downton Abbey and the infamous Judy Collins whose history is as diverse as the biosphere.
When making up high profile people, I feel I have to listen and ask questions because they know their faces and the image they wish to portray better then anyone. A good makeup artist has to be able to leave their ego at the door.
They also have to read the room.
Happy Holidays!
