Usually, Marta Walsh, the sweet beauty addict behind the Talkingmakeup.com network of sites, does all the interviewing. In fact, two of her blogs, beautyinterviews.com and styleinterviews.com, are solely dedicated to that very thing. But I got this lady (pictured here with hair wizard Edward Tricomi) to agree to flip the tables here in Blogging-Babe-land and do some spillin’ of her own. Keep reading to find out all about her, her makeup tips and the one product she thinks every woman should own.

TGBD: Tell me how you got into makeup? Was it something you took to right away in your pre-teen years or did the love come later?
Marta: My love for makeup began in my early teens. My classmates use to wear black eyeliner and a lipgloss. I wasn’t allowed any makeup until I was 16, so I used to cheat now and then borrowing my big sister’s eyeliner and pretend I’m wearing real lip gloss with ChapStick. Growing up in Israel we didn’t have the variety of brands we have now, a lipstick from Revlon meant real luxury to me. Everything changed when I moved to New York City in my later teens, I felt like a kid in a candy shop. My obsession with trying every makeup and skincare brand just got bigger.

Elizabeth Arden introduces Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation SPF 20, a new mineral makeup that takes the mess out of loose powder mineral makeup and gives you the purest, non-drying, perfect application. With its new fresh ground technology, just twist, swirl, tap and apply for pure perfection every time.

Fresh ground. No waste. No mess. No kidding. Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation SPF 20 comes in an easy grinder compact so you control just the amount of coverage you need. Turn to release a fresh layer of microlight powder with each application and grind precisely the amount you want to use. No more powder everywhere. With our new blendable, buildable formula, every woman can create her own customized look.

Pure color. This innovative new powder formula uses microspheres of pigment suspended in light-reflective minerals like mica and silica to assure a natural, luminous look. Our special mineral blend is non-drying, skin brightening and comfortable to wear. It’s easy to create light to medium to full coverage without a made up look. It won’t cake or settle into fine lines. Plus, it hides pores and imperfections with ease.
