Anthea King’s love for fashion has led her to discover her other passion: makeup.  Anthea has worked with celebrities like: Petra Nemkova, Christie Brinkley, Alicia Keys, Elizabeth Shue, and Carrie Underwood. In this interview find out what would be her dream makeup assignment and more.  (via:www.beautyinterviews.com).

When did you decide to become a makeup artist?
I always loved makeup but didn’t realize in the small town I grew up in that make-up artists can work outside of department stores. My love for fashion started me out working at women’s fashion magazines. While on photo shoots, I realized the world of a freelance makeup artist.

What was your biggest break as a professional makeup artist?
My biggest break was definitely when I joined my agency, Artists by Timothy Priano. When I pursued my make-up career on my own, it took a lot of ambition and discipline. I worked for a year and half just building my book and keeping track of every person I met in the industry. I would have entire days devoted to contacting people and doing my own billing. Now that I am a part of Artists, I have more opportunities.

What have been some of your most memorable celebrity collaborations?
Recently I worked with Elizabeth Shue (Karate Kid, Cocktail) whom I though was so cool when I was a teenager. Also working with Christy Brinkley was one of those moments when I couldn’t believe it was really happening. I never imagined in my wildest dreams I’d be meeting and beautifying these faces I grew up admiring.

What are some of the makeup products every girl should carry in her purse?
Bigelow lip gloss, Dermalogica Mulivitamin Powerfirm, YSL Touche Eclat, Tarte Cheek Stain, Dior Show mascara, Giorgio Armani Foundation and Benefit Dallas Blush.

What city in the world do you find most inspirational?
I love Shanghai. I am half Chinese, half British and it is a bustling metropolis mixed with colonial elements. In many ways it reminds me of New York with all of the sophistication and amazing restaurants and shops yet at the same time it is very Eastern and exotic.  To read full interview with Anthea King click here!

Where is your clinic based and what skincare services do you specialize in?
My office is in New York City, on Park Avenue on the Upper East Side. I treat patients from infancy through adulthood, and I specialize in both medical and cosmetic dermatology. I enjoy taking care of entire families, and I love that my day is extremely varied.

Which of your treatments are most popular?
Full body skin exams to check for skin cancer, laser hair removal and other laser treatments, chemical peels, diamondtome microdermabrasion, acne treatments, photodynamic therapy.

Which skincare routine is essential for keeping a healthy skin?
A simple 3 minute routine will keep skin healthy. In the morning, cleansing with a gentle cleaner/soap (no washcloths on your face!), gentle exfoliation (not necessary every day), moisturizer and sunscreen. At night cleansing and moisturizing are key in addition to a treatment such as a topical retinoid or an anti-oxidant cream/serum.

Many women suffer from stretch marks after childbirth, is it treatable?
Stretch marks are incredibly common among growing teens and pregnant women. new marks are often red and can be itchy, and there are great treatments to remove the redness – lasers and prescription topical retinoids (like retin-a), for example. Once stretch marks have faded to skin-color or paler, time will help fade them but there is currently no definitive treatment to remove the marks. Self-tanner helps to mask them, and waterproof makeup, such as dermablend, will cover them up for a day at the beach.

What advice can you give to teenagers with acne?
First of all, know that you are not alone! 90% of your peers are dealing with acne as well. Try one or two over-the-counter products that contain benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acid and use them for 4 weeks.If your acne doesn’t improve or worsens, ask a parent to take you to a dermatologist, because we have so many amazing acne treatments! Also, many acne treatments can dry out your skin, so make sure to moisturize with a non-comedogenic facial moisturizer. lastly, do not pick or try to pop your pimples – this can leave marks, scars and can make the acne worse!!
