Something I wanted to do with Make-Up Your Mind TV in 2019 is feature some of my favorite artists, find out what inspires them and what "Must Haves" are in their kit!! I chose my good friend Nicole Wittman for this interview! I first met Nicole over a decade ago when we were both hustling make-up at Bloomingdales Soho, NYC. She was managing Dior and I was freelancing for Nars. You lose track of people in New York so easily, but eventually (about 6 years ago) we reconnected while freelancing for Nars out in Los Angeles! Nicole is quite talented and one of the funniest people you'd ever work with on set. Read in interview below!
Thank you for talking to me!! Introduce yourself and explain your job title and how you got started! My name is Nicole Wittman, I am a make-up artist. I got into make-up artistry when I was 19, after being fired from being a hostess at Postrio in Las Vegas. I was looking for a job for a while after finishing my Criminal Justice degree at UNLV.
What inspires you most in your art?
I get inspired by the world around me. I like the textures and colors that happen in nature, graffiti or wall murals and textiles.
Do you have an area of expertise?
Advertising! But really, if it's make-up I just want to be part of it.
If you could do one gig for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I'd be Meryl Streep's make-up artist. Since that may not happen.. I'm not sure I could do just one gig for forever. Maybe I just haven't come across it yet.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
That's a hard question for me. I set goals for myself and when I achieve them, I set more. It makes me feel like the future is forever evolving.
How has social media affected the industry?
It has created an industry within an industry. "The influencer". I don't compete with them though. My focus isn't solely to influence others to purchase make-up products. I influence without intending too.
Where do you see the industry going in to future?
It will outlive many other careers. Robots can't put on make-up and I don't see that ever being a thing. As long as there is Hollywood, there should be a need for make-up artists.
How has it affected you?
It's helped me be able to contact people who I may never bump into in person. I can reach out to them via social media or I can keep up with their progression and they can keep up with mine. I used to hate it, but now see it can be a powerful tool.

Interview with make-up artist Danielle Katherine
Something I wanted to do with Make-Up Your Mind TV in 2019 is feature some of my favorite artists, find out what inspires them and what "Must Haves" are in their kit!! I chose my long time friend make-up artist Danielle Katherine as my first interview because as far as make-up experience goes-I've known her longer than anyone! I first met Danielle while we were working at the now defunct Hechts (which because Macys) in Montgomery Mall She was working for Lancome and I was managing the long gone Tony & Tina. We became instant friends and have crossed paths many times over our career span in various cities. We both now happily live a few miles away from each other in Los Angeles! Read in interview below!
Thank you for talking to me!! Introduce yourself and explain your job title!
My name is Danielle Katherine, I am a beauty & editorial make-up artist.
How & when did you get into make-up?
I can't really answer when I got into make-up because I have always been interested in it since I was a toddler. My mother and grand-mother would push me around to all of the beauty counter in Bloomingdales 59th st. They'd give me lipsticks and Barbie coloring books, I'd only fill in the make-up!
What inspires you most in your art?
What inspires me most in my art would be the face. I know it sounds cliche for a make-up artist to say that, but I really love working on various face complexions, ages , etc. I would say the eye lids inspire me the most.
Do you have an area of expertise?
I'm not sure if I have an area of expertise, but from what I have been told I can make a dramatic eye look and feel quite natural. Heavy handed make-up has never really been my thing. I always try to use minimal products unless requested.
If you could do one gig for the rest of your life, what would it be?
It would probably be beauty make-up; house calls, events, photo shoots. I have thought about this question a lot myself recently. I love house calls because I can hang out and spend time with my clients. It's usually our one-on-one glam time, it's like playing dress up! Often I get to choose wardrobe, which is fun because it's another art form to play in. Beauty shoots are my other passion. The make-up is applied to a beautiful model, there are always lovely photos and the experience of being on set is something I love. I love photography so much, ever since I was a young girl I've loved stare at a photograph with great make-up time and time again. It's an amazing feeling when it's your own make-up that you're staring at.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
In the future I see myself still doing make-up and maybe dabbling in another art form. I've always loved painting and I'm crafty.
How has social media affected the industry?
Social media has affected the industry in every way imaginable and a lot of it can be positive for make-up artists. People are now searching hashtags for all sorts of things; hair, make-up, restaurants and beyond. Instagram especially is a great and easy way to showcase your work in an informational and more relaxed way that your website. A little more of our personality is shown and sometimes a client will connect with you on that level. I can make the difference I being hired for a job. On the other hand if you're up for a gig against someone with more followers it can turn into a popularity contest...which to me is weird, but I guess everything is about marketing now.
How has it affected you?
It has definitely helped me by way of getting jobs and income. It's more exposure. I don't have a a huge following, which is fine. I'm sure I've lost jobs to artists with more followers, but if that's the case then the job wasn't for me anyway.
What're your top 3 favorite PERSONAL make-up products?
Chantecaille: Future Skin Foundation
Amazing Cosmetics: Amazing Concealer
Jergen's: Face Glow Self Tanner
What're your top 3 favorite PERSONAL skincare products?
Chantecaille: Bio Lift Cream "It's the most perfect AM/PM cream that actually does everything and works!"
Amore Pacific: Foaming Cleanser
Goldfadden MD Crystal Scrub
What're your top 3 favorite ON SET make-up products?
Laura Mercier Translucent Powder
ADVEKET: "Exceptional" Gender fluid lipgloss
Amazing Cosmetics: Amazing Concealer
What're your top 3 favorite ON SET skincare products?
Urban Decay: All Nighter setting spray
Revive: Volumizing Eye Serum
Waleda "Skin Food" face cream
What would your advice for new and inspiring artists be?
Leave your ego at the door! The learning never ever stops and don't ever assume you now everything. Never give up, always keep a positive attitude at work and about yourself. Everyone's career path is different!

Best Brown lipstick for the fall
Many lipstick wearers like to follow the fall lipstick trend and wear a "brown-ish" shade during the autumn, but choosing an earth toned shade can prove to be a bit tricky. One of the Best Brown lipsticks for the fall is also one of my favorite shades in the new ADVEKET collection "Ambition". This shade a warm medium toned chestnut with a soft cushiony semi-matte finish. It is a richly pigmented shade with extremely long wearing capabilities. The inspiration for the shade name Ambition comes from the strides made by women in entertainment over the last few years. Whether it be the brave humans of the Me Too Movement and the Time's Up Or the recent accomplishments of in bring the iconic DC Comics Wonderwoman in the fantastic Wonderwoman Film by Patty Jenkins starring Gal Gadot and all the strides made by the African American entertainment community at the Golden Globes Oscars and with Marvel Comic's Black Panther
My favorite way to use this color is to first like the lips with ADVEKETs Gender Fluid Lip Liner Advocate, then apply the "Ambition" Gender Fluid Lipstick with a brush or directly from the tube. Finish off with the Exceptional Gender Fluid Lipgloss. I love using this gloss because it's a neutral pink. It works to slightly soften any shade it is placed over.
ADVEKET was created to help support the work of equality nonprofit I Wore Lipstick by donating $1 from the sale of each lip product to the charity. You can find ADVEKET online or in Los Angeles at The Hello Darling Salon at Century City Mall and in New Orleans at Preaux Face
