The model’s top make-up secrets revealed

Reality star Kendall Jenner’s lead make-up artist Victor Henao, the global director of make-up design for Estée Lauder, hits New Zealand shores recently on a whirlwind visit. He chats to us about working with the glamazon of the moment, sharing his best tips and advice.

1. What do you love about making up Kendall?

I love doing make-up on Kendall. It seems like everything I apply to her looks incredible on her.

2. What’s your favourite feature of hers?

My favourite feature on Kendall (and on everyone I work with) is skin. I feel like beautiful, flawless, seamless foundation application is the key to beautiful make-up.

3. What products does she like most?

Kendall loves versatile products like neutral eyeshadows, nude lipsticks and bronze cheeks. She likes Estée Lauder Double Wear Makeup To Go Foundation.

4. Have you taught her any tips and techniques?

Kendall started wearing make-up at a young age and now think how often she gets her make-up done as a model. So I’d say she has taught me a thing or two!

5. Does she have strong ideas on what looks she likes best?

When it comes to doing Kendall’s make-up for red-carpet events, she always has a vision for her look. However, with advertising shoots or videos, she relies on my expertise and vision.

6. Where do you draw inspiration from?

I’m a big fan of contemporary modern art and pop art. Also films, travel, books, food and women I meet on my travels.

7. Can you share your “five-minute face” with our readers?

It involves what I consider the basics – a great moisturiser and eye cream, concealer, foundation, a cheek product, mascara and a lip. This should all take you under five minutes!

8. What’s your all-time favourite beauty tip?

There are three things we don’t talk about enough – exfoliation, moisturising and hydration. Drinking lots of water can do wonders to a make-up look.

9. What’s your secret make-up weapon?

Definitely black eyeliner. It can dress up almost any look in a matter of seconds!

10. What’s your favourite trend this season?

Colour on lips and even bigger colour on eyes.

Maybelline New York Color Blur, $16.99. Clinique Quickliner for Eyes Intense in Really Black, $41. Estée Lauder Double Wear Makeup To Go Compact, $80.Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Eyeshadow 5-Color Palette in Fierce Safari, $108.
