Lizzo's Makeup at the 2019 Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala

"This was such an important day for her," Mayo said, going into detail about Lizzo's two-inch lashes inspired by Missy Elliot's's exaggerated late '90s, early 2000s looks. "Missy Elliot is one of her biggest inspirations and she's such an icon that I grew up also watching the Missy Elliot videos, and that was really where I got inspired. She had these most beautiful glamorous makeup in her music videos that really took us to places we never seen before with makeup and music and visuals."

"The really, really great thing about working with Lizzo is that she really has a lot of trust in us, and she really loves to see our vision come to life and she's really up for anything," he added. "She almost becomes the character, whatever hair and makeup we get her, she just becomes that. And I think that that's really the fun not only that we have, but the fun in makeup and playing with different colours and hair."
