Khloe Kardashian Interviews With Marta Walsh

Last summer I had am amazing phone conversation with Khloe Kardashian. The interview was for Talking Makeup’s celebrity beauty section: www.beautyinterviews.com

Khloe Kardashian and I chatted about her experience on her role on the show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” and she even shared with me some of her best kept beauty secrets!

I would like to share with you my interview with Khloe Kardashian, just in case you’ve missed it last time.

Khloe Kardashian is the youngest of the three sisters, Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian, who co-owns DASH, a high-end women’s boutique, and SMOOCH, a children’s clothing store in Calabasas, California. You might also know Khloe from her role on the show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” which has quickly become an E! Entertainment fan favorite. In this interview Khloe talks about some of her beauty secrets: from her signature smokey eyes look to the lip gloss her and Kim Kardashian are obsessed about, her favorite city in the world, and future career plans.

Marta Walsh: How do you I keep your hair so beautiful?
Khloe Kardashian: I love Kerastase and all of their products. Once a week I use a deep conditioner on my hair by Kerastase because I get my hair done so much. I have naturally curly hair and I always blow it out.

MW: What are some of your favorite skincare products?
KK: I love Crème De La Mer. It’s a really thick moisturizer and it’s also good for your skin and body. And for soft moisturized lips I use The Lip Balm by La Mer also.

MW: Who came up with your signature smoky eyes look and what products do you use to achieve it?
KK: I don’t really know when we came up with the smoky eyes look, but we were doing the smoky eyes forever. What we like to do a lot is to fill underneath the eye with a green or purple eyeliner, something fun so it’s not so harsh. You can do smoky eyes with color, you don’t always have to use black. We use MAC eye shadows, because they blend so well. I also like using navy eye liner so it’s not so harsh as black. And it lasts forever. It’s fun to do smoky eyes, it always looks so sexy. In daytime you can use a brown and make it darker with a charcoal or a black, and it keeps all day

Nordstrom’s National Beauty Director Debbi Hartley-Triesch Interview With Marta Walsh

I’ve been wanting to interview Nordstrom’s National Beauty Director Debbi Hartley-Triesch for quite some time now, so when I was asked to chat with her on the phone one day this month I was thrilled!

I’ve been always fascinated with the behind of scenes of the beauty world. I wanted to know how Nordstrom, which happens to be one of my favorite places to shop, go about picking and choosing the beauty products we see when we’re out shopping. When I go shopping at Nordstrom for clothes, makeup, and cosmetics I have a sense of confidence that Nordstrom experts picked the hottest products for me to choose from, and they are keeping me ahead of trends!

Summer Foundations:MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15

I’m very excited by the latest from MAC Cosmetics: From their NEW MAC Baby Bloom makeup collection: MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15.

In the summer I look for foundations that  give me that flawless coverage without being too heavy. I sound a bit demanding, but it seems that MAC answered my prayers with their MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15.

So what’s so great about MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15: Sheer formula with great performance. An oil-free foundation. It evens out the skin tone with minimal colour, provides SPF 15 board spectrum UVS/UVB protection and increases moisture levels. It is perfect if you are a busy woman without time for a moisturizer, sunscreen and foundation, or if you are a woman who prefers something lighter than traditional foundations.

Celebrity Makeup Artist Jackie Sanchez Interview with Marta Walsh

Celebrity Makeup Artist Jackie Sanchez does make up for Tyra Banks, Alek Wek and Kimora Lee.

In this interview, Jackie Sanchez talks to Marta Walsh about her first breaks as a makeup artist, makeup philosophy, working with supermodel Alek Wek and tips to getting her look, what can we find in her makeup bag, and future plans.


Jackie Sanchez

Marta Walsh: When did your fascination with makeup begin?
Jackie Sanchez: When I was 10 years old my brother got me a makeup kit called Scandia. It had eyeshadow, blush, lipstick, mascara, the works. I still remember opening that first box full of lipsticks!

MW: How did you get your first big break as a makeup artist?
JS: There are so many exciting times that I can remember. I would have to say working with legendary author Toni Morrison opened many doors for me. Traveling with her, accompanying her on book tours, meeting the television elite such as Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer, and Charlie Rose, has been so exciting.

MW: What is your makeup philosophy?
JS: I definitely believe in “less is more”. If you have nice skin why cover it up with heavy foundation and powder. Makeup should enhance your beauty.
