And it's so silly, because you can't really grow to your full capacity, whatever that may be, until you have, you know, boiled and simmered a bit. You need to sort of simmer in the juices of life in order to fully blossom."

I'm very, very white with very dark hair, but [my mom] said, 'don't shave it, because it's gonna get worse.' So I didn't, and I went like Sasquatch, and only later did I learn that it was okay. That's a myth!" "One of the best pieces of beauty advice I can give is to wear a hat in the sun. I [also] tell women, as they get older, they should absolutely start embracing more colors. Whether we like it or not, we do lose a bit of, you know, shine and collagen, so even if you'rea nude girl, one with a slight pink hint, is going to give you more color to your face and lift the cheekbones. I would absolutely suggest a little more color on the lips. Another thing I learned recently, which I think is very helpful. I put it on whateverconcealerI'm using, and then I go do my business. I give it 10 minutes. Maybe I'll do my brows or my cheeks or something completely different. Let it sit. It'll sit in your crackles. And then you go in with a very fine brush, and you literally just just glide along those crackles, take off the excess, because now whatever is too much is now settled in that, and then a little bit of powder."
