Hayley Williams Reveals Details of her New Beauty Series 'Kiss Off'

Hayley Williams has revealed details about her upcoming beauty series "Kiss Off" in a new interview with MTV.

The Paramore vocalist's personal DIY tutorials (shot in her actual home) will recreate iconic musicians’ makeup from the past and present.

You can watch a short teaser from the series and read a short excerpt from the interview below. "Kiss Off" will debut on Popular TV on March 31st.


MTV: How is your beauty series different from all the other tutorials out there?

Williams: I see so many beauty blogs and sites tweeting headlines about contouring your nose to make it look smaller or how to line your lips to make them bigger. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we do feel like we wanna fix something, but how much of that is because we keep getting signals that what we have isn’t good enough? Our show is a baby, and we are still learning as we go. I don’t think we have perfected the art of the how-to quite yet, but that’s not the point! We want people to look in unexpected places for inspiration and not be afraid to try things just for the hell of it. You’d be surprised at what makes you feel beautiful and how strong you feel when you break a few rules.

MTV: What kind of tutorials can we look forward to seeing?

Williams: The first episode we shot was inspired by a punk rock movie and the makeup reminded me of some of the looks I did when I first started getting into stage makeup. I didn’t know what I was doing and yeah, sometimes I got weird looks, but oh my stars, did I feel cool on stage like some sort of MySpace generation, yellow-skinny-jeans-wearing Ziggy Stardust. That feeling is what the show is about. We aren’t following every trend, and we aren’t worried about looking perfect. In fact, most of these shows start with me bare faced. I don’t mean “no-makeup makeup,” I mean “zero makeup.” I don’t look perfect. That took courage, and I’m proud of myself for doing it. It’s that kind of a show.
