HelloGiggles: Have you been a fan of Maybelline and what inspired you to be an ambassador?
Sazan Hendrix: Always — it’s a brand I grew up with! I was inspired to become an ambassador because I love the brand, they have great products, and they’ve always had killer style. Plus, it seemed fun!
HG: You’re an active traveler and I read you recently spoke at a conference in Dubai. What is your go-to travel beauty tip?
SH: Rose water! When you’re on a plane for over 10 hours, your face is gonna dry out (at least mine does). Wearing minimal makeup and spritzing rose water on your skin during [a] flight makes all the difference.
HG: What’s your favorite product for your skin when you’re stressed out or emotionally drained?
SZ: Sunday Riley Clay Cleanser — it refreshes my skin and makes me feel new!
HG: I loved your Wednesday Addams Halloween makeup tutorial. Have you always been a costume person and has that influenced your relationship with beauty?
SZ: Thanks! I have — it’s always been fun for me to put my creativity to good use. Any time there’s an occasion, I get to play dress-up with both my style and my makeup, so Halloween is a great excuse to go nuts.

HG: At what age did you start playing with make-up?
SZ: Let’s see, probably 5 or 6? I wasn’t allowed to wear it to school, of course — my mom would kill me, haha!
HG: What inspired you to make a five minute tutorial about gym-makeup?
SZ: That’s real life! I love working out and I love wearing makeup, but sometimes the two things don’t mix. I wanted to create a look that was just enough for those girls hitting the gym.
