If you're a girly girl who loves makeup, chances are you already know who Elle and Blair Fowler are. The sisters are YouTube sensations and beauty gurus with a combined number of over 2 million subscribers. They've even been nominated for a Teen Choice Award under the category 'Web Star' twice. Elle and Blair have a cosmetics line, Skylark Cosmetics, and even their own novel called 'Beneath The Glitter.' We got the chance to sit down with the girls and talk beauty, celebrity crushes, and novel number two -- which is currently in the works!
J-14: What made you decide to start posting videos?
Blair: Elle talked me into doing them -- I was not a fan in the beginning, but then I started doing them as well and I fell in love with it really quickly. The community was really close-knit and kind.
J-14: What is one beauty product you can't live without?
Elle: Moisturizer.
Blair: I would probably say concealer.
J-14: Who are some of your celebrity crushes?
Blair: I hate to say it, but it will always be Leonardo DiCaprio.
Elle: Mine's shorter than me -- Hunter Hayes. I think Hunter Hayes is so precious.
J-14: For your makeup line 'Skylark' was there something that you thought, "We have to have this in our line?"
Blair: Our glosses kicked it off. We have a gloss duo named Ava and Sophia, named after the characters in our book. I'm actually wearing Sophia right now!
Elle: When we started our product line, we wanted something that we didn't feel existed on the market at the time. A gloss that was incredibly pigmented and that was almost like a liquid lipstick -- not sticky and not drying.
J-14: Tell us about your novels!
Elle: 'Beneath the Glitter' came out on September 4. We're working on the sequel 'Where Beauty Lies' now and it's coming out Summer of 2013. [Our first book] is loosely based on our lives. So it's about two sisters who are born and raised in the south and then move to LA to further their beauty and fashion careers. They get into fights and there's definitely drama. It's 'Gossip Girl' on the West Coast.
Are you guys excited for their second novel to be published? What did you think of 'Beneath The Glitter?'
