- What's your favorite makeup tip that
you've maybe learned from me through the years?
- I haven't learned (beep) from you.
(both laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Mariah and today I have my
fabulous guest star, Mr. Kristofer Buckle.
(camera shutter)
We are turning--
- Turning the tables.
- Turning the tables, darling.
- You're gonna be doing my makeup for a change.
- Yes, I am.
This is the picture that we're referencing,
which you did for me three years ago.
- That's right.
- Maybe.
The lambs know that I went to beauty school.
But they did not prepare me for this.
- No.
- We'll give it a shot.
Let me start with...
The brows.
We're gonna go with the black.
Go with the black.
Oh no, no, no.
- You're gonna go home with this?
- I mean, it's Hollywood.
Anything goes.
(both laughing)
- Look, let's just begin with an arched brow.
- I think if you start low though
because I only blacked out--
- What are you thinking, that I'm gonna start too high?
- Look, you know the--
Ow.
No, I'm kidding.
- No, you gotta say that brush is very...
- That brush is very pokey.
- Okay.
Try again.
- What was your favorite look that we've
ever done for a music video?
- I like Honey Remix.
♪ Ooo, now you can have me when you want me. ♪
The Honey remix
- That was the very first video I ever did with you.
- I know.
- That was a big moment for me.
- It was a big moment for me, too.
- We did a long black eye.
- And then, my hair kept getting frizzy, though,
because we were in that tunnel.
- That water hole.
- I'm not gonna discount 'cause we got Justice--
Hashtag Justice for Glitter that you did
some amazing looks in that.
♪ Things you make me do. ♪
♪ I'm not so into you and that's forever... ♪
We had a good time.
- That was good time.
- So, these are looking good.
They're looking symmetric.
I'm very proud of myself.
- Really?
Oh yeah.
Yes!
One thing I learned from you is lighting, darling.
- Lighting!
We hate bleak lighting.
- There's nothing worse.
- Oh my gosh.
- Do I look pretty?
- You look pretty darn good.
I am a good makeup artist--
- Do I look pretty?
- I don't care what you say.
- What would you say is a makeup
trend from the nineties, because the
nineties is so big right now,
would you never want to see again?
- I would say, like, the bleaching.
The bleached eyebrow look.
- Yes.
- And the whole, like, pencil--
- We lightened your eyebrows, too.
- You did lighten my eyebrows.
- Sorry.
- But other--
I didn't love it.
I just went along with it 'cause when you're
first starting, you think you
have to go along with everything everybody says.
Sorry, close your eyes for a second.
- Bianca.
- Okay?
- So, like, where'd she come from and...
- Let's see, Bianca.
Doing the Heartbreaker video,
but I started doing that accent or something.
Talking like this and I said,
"Oh, I want to make a character.
Her name is going to be Bianca."
- And Bianca was born in twenty minutes.
- She was, but you--
You totally transformed me.
And I'd never done dark hair before and you
convinced me to really go all the way with it.
- 'Scuse me, I just--
(intense music)
- [Kristofer] She's had a few incarnations.
- She has.
We had the long hair Bianca,
we had the one we show on tour,
we had the video, Heartbreaker.
♪ You got the best of me. ♪
♪ But I just keep on coming... ♪
- Do you think she'll ever come back?
- I don't know.
Like, Bianca, I liked to only deal with you.
Look, take a look what's happening.
- Hey.
- It's not blended properly.
- It's okay, it looks all right.
- This shows you why I always get my makeup done.
- Tap, tap.
- It's a little bit of sparkle.
It's extra, it's a bonus.
- Look, look, it's a bonus.
I've been around for a lot of amazing moments.
- Yes.
- But what is your favorite moment?
- This is my favorite moment.
This is one of them, come on.
When do I get a chance to do this?
- You sang with Michael Jackson,
you sang with Aretha Franklin,
you sang with Patti Labelle.
- Pavarotti.
♪ Then a hero comes along. ♪
♪ With the strength to carry on. ♪
- You did my makeup for the Pavarotti moment, did you?
- Yes, yes.
- That was so much fun.
- You wore a pink, silk dress I believe.
- I wore that pink dress like that.
And then, for Pavarotti and Friends, and then--
- But I was very distracted, also, that day because...
- Your somebody was there, I remember.
Do you wanna say who it was?
- Ricky Martin was there.
- ♪ Here we go! ♪
Ale, Ale, Ale! ♪
- And he came and said hi to you.
- He did and I just put the very stinging
eyedrops in my eyes 'cause I heard he was coming to
say hello to you and so, I was like,
"Oh, I gotta look good for Ricky--
This is my big moment."
- Didn't he think you were crying?
- He thought I was crying and he goes, "Don't cry."
And I was like, "Oh, God, I blew it."
- Now, my thing is I happen to like it
without the line underneath, but...
- Oh, really?
- Yeah, but that's cause I did the line (mumbles).
- Most punks wouldn't even wash their
makeup from one day to the next.
They just kept piling it on, like, Baby Jane Hudson.
- I don't know her.
Look up.
Darling, don't you know how long it
takes us to do the eyes?
This is not a one, two, three Zhuzh.
Okay.
- Let me ask you, what is your
favorite song you have ever written?
- My personal favorite?
- Yes.
- I don't know if I have a favorite
because they're all, like, an extension of me.
Certain ones are still, like, favorites like Fantasy.
The ODB remix.
♪ In Heaven. ♪
♪ With my boyfriend... ♪
- Do you have a least favorite?
- Yes, I have several.
Usually, something I did early on
because then I would just do things to appease the
record company and be, like, "Okay, they want
this kind of song, let me just write that."
But that was then, this is now.
So, look.
Should you take a look at it and see what's your thinking?
- Hey, honey.
- Before we move onto the lip?
- Okay.
You did pretty good.
- I mean...
- With a little bit of a disconnected asymmetrical
moment over here, but I have to say, though--
- It was a creative choice.
- It's a fishtail.
- Yeah.
- You know, the wing is so yesterday.
- So, you wanna quick lip?
- Quick lip?
Okay.
- We're not gonna do a mascara
because I didn't wanna torture you.
I hate mascara.
It's a thing.
You want a concealer?
- Yeah, I'll do it.
- We'll, like, erase my lip.
- So, you see what I do when I'm tryna talk and--
- I know.
I'm gonna go like this.
You are really good at talking without moving your mouth.
- Smile.
(squeals)
- What was the most fun video for you to make?
- The most fun music video...
- You say music video like there's another
kind of video that you might've had fun making.
- Well, darling, that's not me.
That will never be me.
Honestly, the first time I've ever really had fun
making a video was Honey because I was allowed to, like,
wear what I wanted to wear and do my own thing.
♪ Just like honey. ♪
♪ When your love comes over me. ♪
Let me just get the top.
- Okay.
- That's a little bit better.
(chuckles)
- You could give me aggressive contour.
- Okay, let's do that.
- Here.
- So, now, you're gonna just do the brush for me?
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You see, I'm very controlling.
What trend, that's happening now,
would wish would go away?
- I just feel like that whole baking thing and
maybe some people like that.
I'm not into baking unless we're, like,
baking in the kitchen.
- Yeah, well, baking is for clowns.
That is where that technique came from.
- It literally came from ♪ send in the clowns. ♪
Yes.
Kristofer, how are you feeling about yourself?
- I feel pretty.
- Oh so pretty.
And witty.
- And Gay.
- So, it's been fun.
I hope you enjoy your new look and
your night out on the town.
I can't even do this, but...
- Yes, you did it.
Yay!
- Okay, thanks for watching.
