I will never do that again.’ – Kelly Rowland

I just had to be patient.’ – Bronte Campbell

‘Most people don’t really like to pose. It is difficult to get them to be present and relaxed under this kind of molecular scrutiny.

The moment is over.’ – Taylor Negron

‘I use the ‘Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow’ Palette every day. I’ve tried a bunch of stuff, but this is my favorite. For eyebrows, I use the ‘Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow’ Pomade in Dark Brown, and for mascara, I don’t use anything else but ‘Urban Decay Perversion’ Mascara.’ – Yuna
