Kathy changed her destiny with strength and determination. What’s more beautiful than that?

Kathy is a wildly successful standup comedian, New York Times bestselling author, and TV personality. And believe me when I say: She’s really that funny in person. She’s managed to accomplish so much because she’s the consummate professional and a tirelessly hard worker, having risen from a few small parts on sitcoms like Seinfeld to starring in her own reality show, My Life on the D List.

But she’s also remarkably giving: Kathy is a supporter of, and political advocate for, the LGBT community. She speaks openly about issues she’s had to overcome since childhood, including eating disorders and sexual abuse, with the aim of giving hope to other young people in similar situations. She easily could have looked at these obstacles as insurmountable, but instead she changed her destiny with strength and determination. What’s more beautiful than that?

For our shoot, I wanted to unleash Kathy’s inner beauty and strength while calling on the provocative nature of her personality, which is how I came up with recreating her look to embody the wild, tongue-in-cheek version of Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C. But I wanted her to feel sexy, too. Because she spends most of her day cracking jokes, I thought it would be amazing to let her shine as a seriously sexy diva and just enjoy being beautiful.

Although I know Kathy well, this was the first time I’d ever worked with her. She has really pretty eyes and a great smile—she laughs a lot because, well, that’s her job. So for her more everyday look, I played up the connection between her eyes and lips, which smile in equal measure. I used burgundy shadow all the way around her eyes, a white liner to make those big blue eyes appear even bigger, and a bronze shadow on the lid. She tends to have pink skin, which we toned down using a gold foundation. After that, I kept it simple. In fact, Kathy was worried that I hadn’t applied enough makeup. But I was able to show her that realizing your full potential almost never means covering up who you really are; in fact, less makeup would let both her inner and her outer beauty shine through. And I think in the end she agreed.
