Jameela Jamil learns make-up from social media

Los Angeles, Sep 27 (IANS) Actress Jameela Jamil says she takes a lot of help from YouTube tutorials to learn how to do make-up.

In an interview to The New York Times, the "How to Build a Girl" star spoke about her make-up routine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I do my own make-up. I just learn off YouTube and Instagram videos. When I was about 27 or 28, a couple years into my career, people would cake my face with make-up. I rarely wear foundation, and I don't love putting stuff on my skin. I want to look like me. Now, even when I shoot covers, I normally do my own make-up as much as I can," she said.

Jameela also shared how people reacted when she did her own make-up for the very first time.

"When I first started doing my own makeup, it used to freak people out. But now I think people actually find it quite a relief. I've done makeup for a cover shoot in the back of a car in 10 minutes. I'm quick, and I'm not rolling in with an entourage and being precious. It's not my wedding day," she added.

Jameela shared that she uses the same make-up.

"I always wear mascara, blusher and lipstick. I really like Maybelline mascara - the Colossal Big Shot. I've used that every day for maybe 10 years. I use the Giorgio Armani liquid blusher. It's not thick and powdery.

"And I love Fenty lipstick. I have the one that goes on as liquid and then goes to a matte finish. It looks like paint. It stays for days! My favourite one is a fuchsia colour. I wore it yesterday, and it's still on today. I have stained lips now - it's so good," she added.
