She stated two reasons for not letting anyone else do her makeup. She said that I just can’t stand people doing my makeup, because I know how I like it. She said in that interview: “If anything, I do half of it or let them touch me up. No one can do it right.”

The next reason she gave is that she can not sit in a chair for an hour, while someone is doing her makeup. In addition, she said that it drives her nuts, especially when she can do her smoky eyes in two minutes. 

The Canadian singer said it was difficult to find the right beauty products at first, but she was determined to find a way to make it look how she envisioned.

She revealed that she always wanted those black eyes when she was younger, so she used to use whatever she could get her hands on. But after trying many times, finally, she found her best and perfect look. 

According to the famous songwriter, she has become so habitual of doing her makeup that it has become a ritual. And she does not leave her house without doing her makeup on days when she has early shoots. 

She admitted that she has been using the same Mac Smolder eyeliner for the past 20 years. And now over the years, she has learned how to do some browns in there that she wants and some gray in with it, too.

Then how to use the black with other colors for different smoky eye looks. Now she has perfected herself to use the liquid eyeliner and wing it fast. Although, it took her a year to almost perfectly figure out how to use the liquid eyeliner. It was hard for her back then. She also keeps on trying some addition to her makeup to make it better. 

Earlier in December, she also revealed that she had previously chosen her clothes without the help of a stylist. So this is not her first time talking about her sense of style. 

She explained that by saying that “I do look back and think some things are funny. I didn’t have a stylist, and I wore my clothes out of my suitcase for a year, over and over. I didn’t have makeup and hair people. I was just like, straight dirty, rock hair. But also that’s what made me, me.”
