I was going through a bit of a difficult time and my grandmother thought she was putting me in etiquette school…she obviously didn’t read the fine print.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Horrific, but the best thing that came out of it was that a scout came one day and told me about modeling. He said, \u2018You\u2019re going to be a supermodel.\u2019 I was like, \u2018I\u2019m sorry, but what\u2019s a supermodel?\u2019 I wasn\u2019t into fashion. I was into music and Goth girls at the mall.\u00a0He showed me\u00a0Vogue<\/em>, and I had never seen women like that. I had no idea of that level of beauty. That was the beginning. I dedicated my whole life to understanding fashion from then on. I looked it all very specifically\u2014What is the light? How are they creating that light in their eye when it sparkles? How do they get those cheekbones? I don\u2019t have prominent cheekbones\u2014how do I make it look like I have them? What do I even look like? I\u2019m not the type of model that\u2019s like, \u2018Just throw me in front of the camera.\u2019 I have to work. It\u2019 a job.<\/p>\n

Tonight I\u2019m going to the\u00a0Save Venice Masked Ball<\/strong>. I\u2019m very glamorous when I go out at<\/p>\n

\"Because<\/a>
Because I have to wear a mask, I\u2019m thinking an extraordinarily strong.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

night because that\u2019s when you get photographed in New York. So\u00a0I like to create a character at night\u2014it\u2019s like I\u2019m born again. I become this vampy, glamorous thing. That\u2019s not how I am in the rest of my life at all. If I have any inspiration tonight, it’s Dita Von Teese. I\u2019m wearing all Giorgio Armani tonight\u2014I’m a big fan of his. When I tried this dress on, I was in a comfortable-yet-romantic mood. It\u2019s not my usual\u2014I usually wear a major gown and crazy things. At the same time, I like to feel comfortable. If I could wear sweatpants, I\u2019d wear a sweatpants dress.\u00a0Because I have to wear a mask, I\u2019m thinking an extraordinarily strong cat eye would be good. With that, it\u2019s nice to do a burgundy\u2014what I like to call \u2018fuck off\u2019\u2014lip.<\/p>\n

I have this lip trick\u2014I have these exfoliating witch hazel pads, and I do like a real scrub with them on my lips. I go inside the mouth, which brings blood forth to the lips, and if you\u2019re doing a natural lip, you don\u2019t even need any color with this. You look like you just had Botox, which I won\u2019t do. But if I need bigger lips immediately, for a shoot or something, I can do this, and it really works. I also like using\u00a0Neosporin<\/a>\u00a0instead of lip balm on my lips. I like my lips to glide.<\/p>\n

I have\u00a0Emi Kaneko<\/a>\u00a0doing my makeup tonight. From working in fashion, I feel like I can fake a good lip and a good eye myself, but I have not perfected unbelievable skin like she can do for me. It’s very\u00a0hard to get the shine in the right spot and the contouring right, especially when your dress will change the texture of your skin. Shiny skin on a shiny dress is a big, sweaty mess. Whether you\u2019re sweaty or not, you will look like a sweaty mess.<\/p>\n

\u201cDekker is playing with maximum efficiency<\/strong> and extreme confidence<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So tonight we’re using\u00a0Lanc\u00f4me Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector<\/a>\u00a0that makes everything smooth and erases the look of pores when you put foundation on. It makes your skin look great. Then, over that, she used\u00a0Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting Foundation. Mostly it\u2019s the shade\u00a005 Natural<\/em>, but I like to mix a little bit of\u00a004 Beige\u00a0<\/em>in because it\u2019s not like my face is one dimensional. My makeup artist says it builds depth that way. Around my nose, it\u2019s a little red, so she uses a slightly different color for more olive skin to cancel it out.<\/p>\n

\"When<\/a>
When I don\u2019t have a makeup artist doing my makeup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Around my nose, it\u2019s a little red, so she uses a slightly different color for more olive skin to cancel it out. When I don\u2019t have a makeup artist doing my makeup, I love using\u00a0Giorgio Armani\u2019s Luminous Silk Foundation,\u00a0Chanel Vitalumi\u00e8re Aqua, and\u00a0Laura Mercier Silk Cr\u00e8me Foundation. Those are my go-tos for night, usually.On my brows, I love using\u00a0Lanc\u00f4me Hypn\u00f4se Mascara. I darken them\u00a0with it\u2014you can imagine how intense that it, and it keeps them in place like a gel. Funnily enough, I don\u2019t like mascara on lashes so much. I like the eyelash-less look in a weird way\u2026\u00a0Maybe people on the street look at me like they\u2019re scared, but I\u2019m not scared. I look in the mirror and I\u2019m like \u2018That\u2019s exactly how I want to be.\u2019<\/p>\n

Hair<\/h4>\n

I like the idea of experimental hair. One of my favorite looks I\u2019ve ever done was for the\u00a0Met Gala 2011<\/a>. I went with Zac Posen and was wearing one of his dresses\u2014I called it the spider web dress, and I asked for a spider web out of my hair. It was like a sci-fi \u201840s thing. I can scare people with my reference points\u2014I sort of have to bring it back and be realistic. Like, OK we can sit here for 20 hours and do my hair, or we can be human beings about it.<\/p>\n

Tonight I\u2019m going for a nice, soft wave in the front that will come down over my eyebrow and roll in on the back to create this faux-bob. All the products are\u00a0Oribe, but I also have a lot of Redken in my own collection. First my hairstylist,\u00a0Leonardo Manetti,\u00a0used the\u00a0Maximista Thickening Spray, then the\u00a0Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse\u00a0before blowing it out for a super-shiny texture. And then he\u00a0finished it off with the\u00a0Soft Lacquer Heat Styling Hair Spraysince this is a really sculptural look. I use Oribe all the time, but I just jump from product to product. I like to use it very thoroughly, and once I\u2019m done with that, I\u2019ll jump to another company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
