I don't like to see mess.

The only thing that will change with fashion is the brows' thickness or thinness. Every season the arch will be the same.

Brows that are too round tend to elongate the face making eyes look droopy and tired.

You can't survive if you don't make money. But as far as I'm concerned, we never, ever make a product with the idea that we'd make a lot of money. We make products because we're inspired by the idea that people will love it.

I saw so many opportunities in the U.S. because I knew that I could make a living doing things I could never do in Romania.

In Romania, during the communist regime, we were very culturally suppressed. At 18 years old, I wasn't allowed to wear bell-bottom jeans and eyeliner. I couldn't understand why!

I like to brush my brows up and curve them toward the end.

I grew up in Romania studying art and architecture.

I came up with this technique with eyebrows - where they should start and where they should end - which I patented.

We all have different brow bones, and different amounts of space between the eyebrow and the lashes; the space on the upper lid is bigger or smaller, the space on the bridge of the nose or between the eyes is wider or narrower. Everyone is different.

Brows more or less can sculpt the face and minimize features you find less flattering.

Brooke Shields has always been famous for her fabulously bold brows. They are perfect for her classic bone structure and beautiful features.

I have a Pasquini, the old-fashioned Italian coffee machine. I have to make my coffee because I know exactly how much I want and how strong I like it.

People in the beauty community don't like copycats, so I think it's important to stay true to who you are and people will stay your customer.

If you're lacking hair in your brows, applying powder over a waxy pencil will make the color stick.

While designing, sewing and cutting patterns for clients, my mother was always telling me to make sure the upper part of the body was balanced with the lower part, an A-line skirt to minimize hips or shoulder pads if a client was smaller on top. I was training my eye to create balance.

In Romania it was normal that when you got a facial someone would tweeze your brows.

Use Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil to outline the brows and give them more definition. To soften edges, comb color through with the spooley end.

My daughter was the one actually who believed in social media - she pushed me to get into Instagram, Snapchat, and everything else.

Marilyn Monroe had thick, dark eyebrows even though her hair was platinum and it looked gorgeous. It worked because she had brown eyes - dark eyes can handle a dark brow even if the hair is blond.

If you ask me, I think knowledge is power and and being able to do your own makeup, or someone else's makeup, is power in itself.

Studying technical design and art gave me the ability to see things in 3-D.

Living in Constanta under communism, we did not have the ethnic diversity that I then encountered in America.

To be honest, I don't think I ever had thought I had to be successful. I just saw a need and I liked to be challenged, that's my personality.

I know how to sew, knit, I'm a great chef, and a good dancer.

I don't like to judge. Fashion is a form of expression, so to each their own.

In grade school, my mother, who was a professional tailor, would make all my clothes. I became obsessed with designing them myself.

I do my hair and makeup every day like I'm going to a party.

For fragrance, I only wear Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle. People at work know I'm there when they smell it.

I don't like to see mess.

When I'm in the bathtub, I could have my champagne here and my caviar, just to be glamorous enough. I work really hard and I deserve everything.
