Finally in the hot seat, my artist runs me through the process. Would I prefer the filming starts once I have foundation on? "Some ladies prefer not to go bare-faced, even for themselves," she explains. However, I’ve been familiar with my makeup-free face for 24 years, so I give her the go ahead to start right away. The mirror, when in filming mode, has a couple of touch-screen buttons that remind me of an iPad, which my artist taps to stop and start the recording to ask me if I think the shade of the foundation is right, or if I want more concealer. It also splits the film into parts — base, contour, eyes, lips, and blush — and gives the artist the power to edit out sections if you change your mind about a particular hue.
