"Since like 3 years, because I don't like my freckles, and I saw that with makeup, I could hide them. It depends on what I'm doing, like if I do eyeshadows, it takes me, like, half and hour. I don't have favorites brands. I like all of them, if the colors are cute. I like to do my eyeshadows the most ,and the least [are] my [eye]brows, because I struggle a lot doing them." Denise Alvarado, 12

Matthew Arambula, 11: I feel that is unique, not everyone has that style. It was not just one person who inspire me, it was several. I feel like I got a little bit of everyone. I buy my clothes in several stores, but where I most[ly] buy them is at C&A and Rue 21."
