Traditionally, the B side refers to the flip side of a record.
They pull the references, scour the archives, and paint the picture you see on the big screen.
The celebrity, model, or actor is the single with the most airtime.
But the glam team?
Theyre the producers, conductors, friends, and family members.
For lack of a less ubiquitous phrase, they make it work.
Because the origin of a look is just as important as the look itself.
The backstory deserves its hard-earned glory.
The second was a true group effort.
On working with Dove…
Its a dream.
But to be real, shes super collaborative and has so many great ideas.
Its fun to get to play and create looks together.
On his early years and starting his career in beauty…
I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was in grade one.
I never wanted to leave.
I wanted to stay all day to see the transformations.
My aha moment was at summer camp when every girl started asking me to style their hair for Shabbat.
I would get booked up weeks out!
At 16, I went to a vocational school where my elective was hairdressing.
I worked at a top salon in Vancouver until I was 26.
I was fortunate enough to become Harrys first assistant and I worked under him for five years.
On his career highlights…
Cutting Karlie Klosss bob in Paris.
And Meghann Fahy for the SAG Awards was a big moment for me.
On what beauty means to him and how its empowered him throughout his life…
Confidence.
A confident person always looks the most beautiful, from the inside out.
Of course, taking care of oneself doesnt hurt, and that makes me feel confident.
Doing it this way keeps it in the realm of slightly unusual without going too [far].
She essentially has a bare face, and theres only lip balm on her lips.
Then we put these spiky, clumpy lashes on.
The imperfect look of them complements the punk vibe of the pins.
The third look is my favorite because of how bright the blue of the eye shadow is.
I wanted supersaturation for this.
The colors look very retro and technicolor-y.
Sometimes I feel like Dove and I share a creative brain.
We have such a magical give-and-take [relationship] when it comes to ideas for makeup.
I grew up in a small town [called] Panhandle, Texas.
The population hovers around 2000 people, so obviously very different from where Ive ended up.
I wasnt really aware being a makeup artist was a job until I was in college.
I just thought it would be fun to work at the counter, which I never did!
My first makeup jobs were in retail.
Around that time, I won a trip to NYFW with Nars and met all their big artists backstage.
Later, I moved to L.A. and started assisting Uzo, who is still with the brand.
She took a big chance on me, and I learned so much from her.
I assisted and learned from many different artists for years.
I came up the old-school way, you could say.
Ive had so many moments Ive had to stop and remind myself,hey, this is amazing.
This is where you wanted to be.
So its really hard to pick one singular highlight so far.
Perhaps my first Met Gala.
Its about being playful and creating moments of joy.
