" Seventeen: How does it feel to be Seventeen&amp;#039;s Beauty Smarties Showdown winner? Chloe: I still can&amp;#039;t really wrap my head around it. It&amp;#039;s been a dream for so long to be a part of Seventeen. The fact that I won and the fact that it&amp;#039;s coming true is so incredible. 17: How did you get interested in doing makeup? Chloe: I used to be obsessed with the Disney channel when I was younger and in order to watch certain videos, I would have to go to YouTube. One day, I was browsing through random videos and I landed upon some makeup tutorials. From there, I just continued watching a lot of them. I have always been into fashion and girly things, so combining that with the YouTube videos I saw, I was really inspired to start my own channel and to do it myself. 17: Is that where you learned to do your makeup? Chloe: I remember not knowing how to apply eyeliner when I was in middle school. I would need someone do it for me. After watching so many videos, that&amp;#039;s really how I learned my techniques. 17: What is one thing that you&amp;#039;ve learned from YouTube that you are most proud of? Chloe: I have learned to pair different colors. Now, I know what colors look good on me and what colors don&amp;#039;t and how to manipulate different looks so they work with my face shape or my skin tone. I think it was really helpful to learn from beauty gurus.  17: In your videos, your Janelle Monae-inspired look seemed tricky. How long did it take you to master it? Chloe: I didn&amp;#039;t try it out before filming, so it took about three hours to do. I tried so many different ways, flipping my hair upside down and spraying it\u2014I used almost an entire can of hairspray!  17: Did you watch the other girls&amp;#039; videos? Chloe: Oh yeah! I watched every single video from all the girls\u2014they were amazing. I was so happy to be competing against them and I was also very nervous to see if I would actually beat them because they&amp;#039;re so talented. It was nerve wracking every week to see what they would come up with. 17: Do you do your friends&amp;#039; makeup? Chloe: They ask me all the time! For prom, I did three of my friends&amp;#039; makeup before my own and for my Sweet 16, I did my entire family&amp;#039;s before doing my makeup. I love when people ask me to do their makeup. It&amp;#039;s the best feeling knowing that they actually want to see what you can do and what you can come up with on their face. 17: Who are your celeb beauty icons? Chloe: Katy Perry or Nicki Minaj. They use a lot of color and their looks are always very interesting and unique. 17: In your opinion, what&amp;#039;s a product every girl should have in her purse? Chloe: I really love mascara because even if you&amp;#039;re not wearing anything else on your face, mascara can instantly lift your eyes and make them look bigger.
