Doe Deere, blogger and founder of the highly successful Lime Crime makeup brand, embodies girliness, made apparent by her line of work and her would-be-ridiculous-but-amazing-on-her outfits. Recently, she was photographed by BUST Magazine in a characteristically colorful and feminine shoot. Read on to learn her thoughts on the experience!
QB: On a blog post, you’ve indicated a past with BUST. How have you worked with them before this?
DD: They have featured my makeup line, Lime Crime, before. I think BUST is a breath of fresh air in so many ways. They have my respect.
QB: Did you choose your outfit and makeup? How much creative control did you have over the look?
DD: I had full creative control of my look--hair, makeup, outfit. They just said "Be you!" They sent a photographer over to my house and asked us to shoot two outfits (both were purple). They chose the second one, and I'm happy with the choice!
QB: What did it feel like to have photographers come to your house and do a photo shoot?
DD: Very flattering! I wasn't too nervous since I'd had publications come over with cameras before. I just wanted to be prepared and have fun.
QB: How long did the photo shoot take? Did it differ from what you'd imagine it would be like?
DD: The shoot itself took under an hour (with one outfit change); it's the preparation that took forever! I'm a perfectionist and need at least two hours to get ready. I appreciate that the photographer, Yerin, was so very patient with me.
QB: How do you hope this will raise awareness about your makeup brand and identity as the Unicorn Queen?
DD: Honestly, I didn't do it for exposure. I just wanted to be a part of a good publication. If it raises awareness about me and my brand, in addition to that, great!
QB: Would you have changed anything about how you looked?
DD: My facial expression! I came out a little grumpy. I wish I was smiling in the picture. Next time!
QB: I doubt anyone thinks you’re grumpy, Doe Deere!
