TWIST: How did you get into doing makeup?
Elle: I've always been a real girlie-girl and so I was always into makeup and playing with colors. But the summer of 2008, I was bored and came across the YouTube beauty community. I completely fell in love with it and got addicted to watching other girls' beauty videos, so I decided to put up my own.

TWIST: How old were you when you started to wear makeup?
Blair: I was probably in 7th or 8th grade when I started doing my own makeup. Then, sophomore year of high school was when I really started paying attention to how I was doing my makeup.

TWIST: How did you get to be so good at applying makeup?
Elle: Our mom taught us a little bit when we were younger. In 6th grade, she took me to the Clinique counter and the girl did a makeover on me and my mom bought every single product she put on me. That was my first little stash of makeup. I just learned tips from friends. In middle school, everyone is starting to wear makeup and everyone is talking about it. Really recently, I started watching the YouTube videos and that's when I really started to get technique down, just basically by watching other videos and practicing a lot.

TWIST: How did you get involved with Fashion Week?
Blair: It started with the Mini Mortimer fashion show. Mini wanted a makeup artist who was young, to tie it in with her line. She came to Elle and I and asked if we could put a look together. We came up with doing a natural eye with a bold lip because she has young, preppy clothes with a twist, so we drew inspiration with that.

TWIST: She knew about you through your YouTube videos?
Blair: Yeah.
Elle: After we got there, there was a lot of hype surrounding the fact that we were the youngest makeup artists there...so we booked other shows: Clandestine and Haute Hippie. And we were guests at Bebe.

TWIST: What was it like backstage?
Blair and Elle: Oh my gosh!!!
Blair: There are so many people back there! You can't understand how there can be so many people in this one little room. But everyone has a job and they know what they are doing.

TWIST: What celebrity do you think has flawless makeup every time?
Blair: I love how Selena Gomez always has a fresh face. Her makeup is flawless in every picture.
Elle: I love Blake Lively. I think she has a really fresh look to her. I also like Nina Dobrev, from Vampire Diaries. She always looks so good.

TWIST: If you could only give one makeup tip, what would it be?
Blair: Curl your eyelashes, definitely. It opens up your eyes so much.
Elle: I would say get a nude color or white eyeliner and line the inside of the bottom of your rims with eyeliner because it makes the whites of your eyes really big and bright.

TWIST: Do you have tips for girls who want to start to get a following on YouTube like you did with your beauty videos?
Elle: Just start. Film it and put it up. I didn't have a special camera. I filmed straight frm my Mac Book. It's all about confidence and actually taking the initiative to make the videos and putting yourself out there.
Blair: It's also important to make sure it's something you're passionate about. Obviously we do makeup videos, but you have Justin Beiber who is a singer. In the long run, it's putting up more videos to keep your audience there.
