AR: | How did you get started working in beauty? |
AK: | I was actually hired at a MAC store as a weekend cashier. I liked makeup, but never thought that it would take over the way that it did. |
AR: | Who had the biggest beauty influence on you growing up? |
AK: |
Kevyn Aucoin, of course! He was really the only mainstream makeup artist at the time, and his transformational makeup looks blew my mind. I was also thoroughly obsessed with Pamela Anderson and the whole 90s bombshell glam…iconic! Oh, and Pete Burns of Dead or Alive. They’re gender fluid beauty vibes rolled into the 80s was everything to me. |
