It's very refreshing to go away and take a break, to clear your head, and just get into something else.

Makeup is about balance. When the eye makes a statement, the lips should be quiet.

Find your own way, have an open spirit, and believe in your own beauty.

A fresh face with a red lip is timeless. It's supermodern and relaxed but very chic.

True icons are larger than life, unforgettable with an elegance that's mesmerizingly timeless.

You create the color first, and then the name that fits. It depends - there are no rules. You watch a fabulous old movie, and you suddenly get inspired by it to create a lipstick shade, or you walk through a gorgeous garden and find the most beautiful flower shade for an eye shadow, and then you name it.

I like beauty to be a bit edgy, not typical. For me, the only rule is looking good.

There is a tendency to feature more actresses on covers, but I'm a big model lover. I grew up watching these models, and they gave me the wish, the need, to work in the fashion industry. I loved watching them - their beauty, the way they worked in front of the camera and that power of transformation, especially in the Seventies.

I thought make-up was a very sensual thing.
