Kelly Rowland Chats About Love, Lust, and Luxe

I think when Destiny's Child was coming up in the music industry and we had all these different photo shoots and things. That`s when I was first introduced to makeup, and when you're introduced to constitution in the industry, it's about form and shadow. I think I walked around looking like a tartar because I was stressful to form my cheek the way the makeup artists did. [laughs] I spent a lot of time looking crazy.

I think one year, me and Destiny's Child had these green outfits on. I looked at the pictures [later] and was like, "Yikes! Why did I even try? Just some grounding and lip gloss would have been fine."

I sat up one day, and paying to attending to how every makeup artist did things. I told myself that I wanted to live my face even better than the makeup artist did. I went home and played with the different foundations and colours and establish what was perfect for me; what I liked on my eyes, what I liked on my lips - because you make to be glad with the way you see in the mirror.

I had the most fun with MAC makeup. I think going into the stores and only trying on all these colors. L`Oreal Voluminous Mascara, I bought it and fly in love, because honestly, to this day I still don`t recognize how to glue eyelashes.

The makeup lines I really love right now are Scott Barnes and Bobbi Brown; Scott Barnes` concealer and Bobbi Brown's foundation. I think going to that return for the start sentence and going "OMG, it`s so awful to get my skin color."

I believe that as consumers, we frequently go to different beauty brands and products and ask them to be magicians. I believe it's important for us to love what we bear and what we're running with, what we possess and what we have that we may need to work out. Maybe you have amazing eyes or beautiful cheekbones or amazing lips. It's very keen to add that out. I believe it's important to know what sort of skin you have, too. Is it dry, combination or oily? To recognize what you're working with before you go heightens the solid beauty buying experience.

It took a long while for me to recognize that I`m beautiful. I think going through this stage when I was younger of wanting to die by mirrors and not appear at them. That was so ridiculous. I`ve learned now that beauty starts from within. If you don't love your worth, if you don't live your value, if you don't recognize how fantabulous you are - it's loss to be difficult for other people to see it. Being appreciative of self, is beauty to me.

What makes me feeling really beautiful is when I rouse up and my bark is acting right [laughs] and I make a very great workout. When those years come, remember you deserve them because you work so hard.

One of my beauty icons is Oprah Winfrey. I know that fact that she's so prosperous with herself. One of my favorite episodes of her point was when she showed millions of people how she woke up in the dawn with no makeup on. That was so selfless and revealing. She's very substantial and true and I know that. Halle Berry is one of the most beautiful women I've always seen. Same thing with Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson - especially as a kid, because they have brown skin like me. I remember looking at magazines and video and seeing someone that looked like me and seeing a man of myself in them.

What I`ve learned is, take best maintenance of yourself. When you have the conclusion to do that - that's a stride toward reinvention because you likely want it and in that moment, you deserve it.
