Pink eyeshadow has historically been filed under the heading of Things I Will Probably Never Wear In This Lifetime. I just didn't get it: wouldn't it make you (or at least me: a fair-skinned blonde) look…sick? Or at the very least, kind of like an alien?

And I'll be honest: when Urban Decay asked me to help them launch their new Electric Palette, I was nervous. I don't tend to wear bright eyeshadow a whole lot, and I also don't apply makeup like a makeup artist; I apply it the way a real person does, and I wear it in the real world alongside other real people (as opposed to on sets, alongside models, or at…I don't know, raves).

I wanted to create a look that was bold, but also something I'd actually wear.

Kendrick thinks that what happens to my hair in the presence of humidity is really funny.

So much so that he had me pose for a photo while pretending that I was in a 1980s Mentos ad.

It's true: I turn into a lioness in the presence of even a single atom of moisture; always have. In years past, the fluffball on top of my head has made me nuts; nowadays...less so. And this is partially because I really do try to keep my hair in good condition these days (because healthy hair = less frizzy hair), but also because of motherhood.

I love my bangs.

I also don't want to deal with them anymore.

I like the way they look when they're blown-out and the perfect length (that's them hanging out with me in a Vegas elevator last spring), but the reality is that a) I do not have time or patience to trim my bangs nearly as often as I should; and b) the second there is even a single molecule of moisture in the air, they head every direction except for the way that I would like them to.
