PS: What are your favorite beauty packing tips? You're probably an expert by now.
MP: I am. When you're on the plane, you don't really need a lot. A lash curler, brow pencil, hand cream, concealer, liquid eyeliner (but watch out for turbulence!), and lipsticks, even one that doubles up for lips and cheeks.
PS: What one beauty product does everyone need?
MP: A good black eyeliner, because you can use it for anything and everything, even lip liner. You can use it as mascara by blasting it with a hair dryer until it melts, then use a spoolie brush to comb it through lashes. You can also use a hair dryer to turn the pencil into a gel liner and an ombré gradient eye shadow — it thins out the texture of the eyeliner, so it creates a gray color, and then you can work your way up to black shadow.
PS: What is your favorite product in your line?
MP: That's a very seasonal question, but I love my brow pencil and my liquid liner. When we did ink paintings in art school, it was all about line weight and the quality of the line, so I wanted to take that approach to liquid liners. The brush is superthin, so you can create thin and thick lines.
PS: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
MP: I just want to grow my soul and evolve. Ten years from now I don't want to just be giving beauty tips. I want to show people how they can meditate, calm their soul and spirit, and how they can find their purpose. Purpose doesn't necessarily mean what they have to do with their career, but help them discover their gift.
