(shouting) - Oh my God!
- It's horrible.
You think that you've stabbed somebody in the eye
and that happens - Oh,
- every single time I work with this person.
- We're back from L.A.
and we brought the good weather with us.
So the ultimate New York weather calls for
the ultimate back seat spring Facebeat.
(funky music)
Today we're calling in the ultimate cool girl.
You might have seen her work on Instagram
where she stands out in the crowd cause she infuses
cool and bold colors.
Or you might have seen her work on her celebrity clientele.
From Ashley Graham to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley,
she's everywhere.
Let's go pick up our girl Katie Jane Hughes.
(engine roaring)
(brakes screeching)
Katie!
- Hello - Oh my God,
how are you?
- I'm good, how are you?
- Are you excited?
- I'm so excited.
- Have you ever done a back seat Facebeat?
- I have not.
- Really? - I mean,
not like this.
- You know working with celebrities
I'm always in the front seat leaning back
being like ah, touch up the lip quick!
- Well this ones a little bit different.
- Okay. - So as
we're giving my ultimate back seat Facebeat
I'm gonna ask you questions,
- Okay. - but as it gets more intense
the questions - Ooh,
- also get more intense. - Oh.
- Are you ready?
- No, yes.
- Yes, of course (hands clapping) let's do it.
(engine roaring)
- I am obsessed with pink and red, I'm obsessed with
color combinations
- Mm-hmm. - that either
contrast, or that clash, or that work
but you wouldn't think they work.
Pink and red is one of them,
orange and blue is one of them.
- Okay. - I also think that
what's important is when you are playing with color contrast
is to just make sure one color balances over another.
So if you're playing with pink and red
you would go for a softer pink and then a bold red
not a bold pink and a bold red.
- Okay.
The first thing we're gonna do is actually use
a liquid lipstick on your eyes
- Oh. - as an eye shadow.
I'm gonna use this Revlon one.
- You're using a lipstick on my lids right now
like, what is that?
Is that your signature thing?
- So the reason why I'm using this lipstick on the eye
is because it's a paint in my opinion.
It's like makeup is color, product can be used in however
way you wanna use it when you get it home
you know. - Mm-hmm.
- Even though it's designated for the lip
I think as long as you're using things
in a hygienic kind of sense I think that
then it's fine.
- Do you feel like you follow trends at all
or are you more just like classic looks?
- I like to take trends but then turn them into classics.
- Mm-hmm.
- So I like to say oh, like, okay there's a trend right now
of you know, an Instagram brow
right? - Mm-hmm
- I would pair it with a really sexy expensive
editorial skin.
- Okay. - Really glossy,
really highlighted, really raw like you can
see freckles you can see texture,
- Mm-hmm. and then a really intense done
brow because that would be - Mm-hmm.
the balance.
- I feel like you're all over Instagram.
How has that been super important in your career?
- Instagram, literally, was my agent for the first
five, six years of my career. - Oh, really?
That's fascinating. - Yeah.
- One of the biggest opportunities I can talk about
is Glossier reached out and sent me a DM and
- That's amazing.
- It was just like, you know,
went in for a meeting, had a chat about
possibly working together on some stuff.
That one conversation turned into
another conversation about how maybe I can help
develop this line that they just launched called Play.
- Yes. - So
- Are you loving Play
right now? - I love Play so much.
This is one of my favorite product in the
whole wide world.
This is - Yes.
- Eclipse Glitter Pigment from Bodyography and, like,
it is the closest thing that you can get
to doing a glossy eye without actually making
it wet because there's no way in the world to make
eye gloss not crease.
Now this is hard
because the car moves - Okay, yeah.
- My finger moves.
Look at that!
I mean, you can't see (murmurs)
- I can't see but I trust you.
I have blind faith. - But you you feel that it
looks glam. - I feel
that it looks super glam.
So how do your clients find you?
- Instagram.
- Ooh, Glossier Play.
- Yeah, I'm gonna do a tiny dab of glitter on
the outer corners just to give it some
element of intrigue.
Like Rosie DM'd me and she was like oh my gosh,
I love your makeup, I'd love to work together
next time I'm in New York or whenever you're in L.A.
And I was, fell out of bed,
literally, (giggling)
The best experience I could ever have with a client,
a celebrity client is if they just let me play.
- Mm-hmm. - If they let me
just play with, if they give me a vibe
and they just let me run with it without too much
preconceived idea of what it is that we're gonna do
because that's always the best way.
So blurry lip is what I'm doing and I'm just using
this Bobbi Brown color which is called burnt cherry
and we're using this really on the outsides
to create like a, sort of a shadow around the
perimeter of the mouth.
I'm using the brush because it's allowing
it to go on like a stain.
- I like the blur - But it's also
allowing it to go on with, like, a blurry edge,
which is kind of a thing that I love doing.
- I wanna ask you fun questions.
- Ah!
- You're on a deserted island, you can only bring
three beauty products.
What are they?
- Em, Ardell Stroke A Brow because I can't
not have my eyebrows done.
- When you get rescued
you have to be like, okay - I plucked them all off, yeah
I plucked them all off when I was a kid
and then they never grew back.
- Uh-huh.
- Ardell Stroke A Brow, Weleda's Skin Food
because it's thick, it's balmy, you can, like,
exfoliate your dead skin off with it.
You can make it as a highlighter cause it's so shiny and
gorgeous. - Yeah.
- Ooh, what's the third one?
Probably red lipstick.
- Ooh, I love that. - Because, because I
can use it as a blusher and eyeshadow by shearing it down.
- True, you could meet locals, - If I could, if I could have
a fourth it would be a concealer because then
I could basically take that concealer
mix it with the red lipstick and create so many
colors in between.
- Okay, the that, that was good
you knew quick too.
- I'm gonna take red carpet from Bobbi Brown and
I'm gonna press this in with my finger tip
to make more pigment in the center of the lip.
- What is one, like, trend that you just like, wanna see
goodbye to, like, you just want it gone.
- Em, clickbait
Instagram makeup looks
that are not realistic.
There's just so many weird things that I see on
Instagram - No, 100%
like brows that get like, Nike checks and stuff,
- Oh my God. - You know what I mean?
It's like the clickbait boogieman.
- Ooh!
Ohh! - Okay,
we're getting bumpy! - I like it,
it's good, it's a good challenge.
- Mm-hmm.
(Katie gasps)
- Don't fret guys, I'm gonna show you how to fix that!
- I don't even know what it is.
What if you just
drew a big old thing (laughs)
across my face (laughs)
- I just got lipstick on your lip
right underneath your nose.
- Oh, wow, this um, - This is what you do
to fix it. - this is the latest trend.
- So this is Buriti Balm from Pai
- Mm-hmm.
- It's an amazing balm that's basically lip balm,
eye gloss, whatever you want it to be.
- We have one last really hard question.
- Oh!
- (laughs) Yes!
Have you ever played the game two truths and a lie?
- No.
- Okay, so basically how it works
is you're gonna tell me
- Go like this
Keep doing it.
That makes your lip
look more matte. - Okay,
- Okay, great. - So basically,
how it works is you're
gonna tell me (laughing)
two true things
- Oh. - Like, as working as like
a celebrity makeup artist, you know, with all
the cool people you just hang out with all
the time. - Okay, okay.
- Two true stories and one lie.
- One time I was doing someones makeup and I get there
and I'm like, I hear the concierge basically being like,
hi we need a makeup artist for a person and
I was like, looking smiling at him and he was like,
why are you smiling?
I was like, cause this bag right here is full of makeup,
I'm a makeup artist about to go see another client,
he was like oh, can you do this person?
And I was like who is it?
And he was like oh it's somebody really famous.
And I was like, okay.
Then I went up to the room and Tommy Hilfiger
was there, just like in
the room. - Casually?
- Yeah, and - Yeah?
- He just turns around and he goes hi, I'm Tom
and shook my hand. - Oh my God!
- And then I was like, Oh my God, that was so, and it
was just so chill and like, nonchalant,
and he was like hi, I'm Tom, nice to meet you.
- Easy going, - And it was just,
yeah. - Yeah.
- So that's one story. - I love that.
- One time I was doing somebody's makeup and
they
ugh, this is hard
guys! - Isn't it?!
Okay, do you wanna think on it?
We can apply the mascara.
- Yeah, but you need to put your own mascara on.
- Oh I do, oh wow I didn't know that.
- The reason why I want people to do their own mascara
is we can always get more of a push and we can get
more tension on our own lash than somebody else
can get on our own lash.
Cause we can feel how close we are to lash line
on ourselves, the pressure, the, you know,
all of that.
So there this celebrity client in the world,
who I've actually never done makeup for,
I did her nails one time and she's so, so, so
like, like anal about hygiene or just,
you know, just product that she brings her own kit
- Oh my God, - to set
- oh my God. - and it's only
her products from her kit that you're allowed to use
and you're not even allowed to double dip
into those products, even though it's only going on her.
- Really anal, - Yeah
- Yeah. - It's as anal as it can get.
One time, well this is
