Glad you enjoyed it! Lauren x

[@onabalona1]

MOOORE! Sali, you could talk about this all day - I would listen! What a fascinating career history from a wonderful woman.

[@kaceandre7832]

Dear Sali, thank you for this video with Morag Ross. She's such a talented and amazing makeup artist ! I would love to be one of her assistants !! Can't wait for part 2 !!!!!!

[@Aknollenator]

Fwiw I love the lighting and camera of these. It feels real - especially after all of the talk of HD in this one. This is such a treat. Thank you.

[@AppleKandy]

I could have listened to her talk about that all day. 52 minutes whizzed by . Fascinating and completely enthralling. Thanks Sali and Morag - can't wait for the next one !!

[@MikaylaCarson]

This is my absolute favourite one so far! Hanging out in the makeup tent is my favourite place in the set. She's a legend.

[@lesliecohenmcgregor973]

Thank you, Sali! I was watching this on the iPhone in one hand and IMDB and google images on the iPad in the other! Truly interactive entertainment!

[@lananao2987]

I love Morag's name. It suits her and her style perfectly. My favourite type of video Sali- these just get better! x

[@AlanTsibulya]

Love hearing about that collaborative relationship between makeup artists and actors! Amazing video as always Sali xx

[@mimmiholms4124]

Oh Sali this just keeps getting better and stronger! I'm such a fan of Morag and the way she approach movie makeup and fame. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this interview. xx That Luxurious Feeling

[@BereniceBloom]

There are three things making this series special. First of all, picking such interesting interview partners who have really something to tell about beauty because they know the business. Moreover it's the intimate atmosphere and your skills as a journalist as well as your talent to make people open up. Always a delight to watch, thanks for your work!

[@inthechairwithcloochy8102]

Can not WAIT for part 2!!! Morag is the Bee's Knee's!!!

[@aquablushgirl]

Thank you so much for this Sali. This completely and utterly captivated me and when it ended I shouted Noooooo! at the computer screen. I hope part 2 is up very very soon. Morag is amazing and your questions to her were brilliant and just what I wanted to know myself. Well done - good job done Sali xxx

[@Ottska]

Absolutely brilliant - couldn't have loved this more. Such a fascinating insight & different take on makeup - eagerly awaiting part 2! I can also relate to what Morag says about being less intense and bolshy the older you get. I think it's a humility that comes with maturity, and knowing yourself so deeply that actually, you don't have to fight every battle and constantly feel the need to prove yourself. You can let that drop & collaborate better than ever.

[@yas_makk]

I can't stand this...give me part 2 now! Fascinating listening to the ins and outs. What a humble and sweet person Morag seems to be.

[@patriciadonovan7839]

My thoughts exactly. Part two. I'm in suspense

[@yas_makk]

I think we're going to have to get comfortable and wait until next weekend :)

[@moonboywales]

Completely hooked! went through a bottle of wine! can we have a part three and four please hahaha!

[@MsSam66ok]

Wonderful video! Morag Ross is such a talented beautiful women. She is so interesting to listen to. Morag hair is stunning too!

[@CoraBellacoco]

I know Morags name from seeing it on film, but I never knew what she looked or sounded like. She is a beautiful person inside and out. Loved this look at makeup in film and the industry. Can't wait for the second part. I love this series Sali, it's always interesting and articulated.

[@charlcharl11]

Wow, this was fantastic Sali, I'm now in love with Morag, she makes being a makeup artist so real, that there is emotion and angst in it all, it's not just a breeze, it's so refreshing! Xxx

[@natashafielden]

Wow, I absolutely loved this one. It's an area of beauty that I am totally unfamiliar with and had never heard of Morag before watching this, but was completely mesmerised for the whole interview. Such a fascinating, humble and talented woman. Cannot wait for Part 2. Thank you so much, Sali.

[@jessbuckman]

I love how long these videos are. I could watch this forever. Sail you have such a great interview style . Morag is such an interesting lady. I love this series

[@yarat3952]

I am obsessed with her hair

[@mohayes1402]

Agreed I love her grey! I hope she talks about it in part 2.

[@kylitamas1401]

My goodness, this was so good. Most interesting one yet! Can't wait for part 2!

[@livsmakeup]

I LOVED this vid. My fav to date. I could listen to Morag Ross all day. Can't wait for part 2

[@Lanuun]

Thank you so much Sali, for this. I nearly teared up when you talked about sexism and the belittling of women working in the beauty industry because even after over a decade of being a makeup artist, it is still something I face regularly. This was a brilliant and engaging conversation I wish was twice the length! Also, I hope you could do more 'in my kit' peeks into working artists favourite products across all medias. I loved the ones you did with Mary Greenwell and Val Garland. Part 3 with Morag Ross I hope?! I love your book and what you do is incredibly important, so thank you again!

[@lorif255]

Sali, she is so fascinating!!! Thank you for doing this. Can't wait til Part 2!

[@suada1071]

I love these videos Sali. thank you for filming with great and inspiring women. Please look into the camera work. It's so shakey and at times the sound can be quiet in some videos. If those issues are fixed, we can watch them comfortably. thank you x

[@mollyringwerm9224]

I think this almost tops Mary Greenwell's ITB. You two could go on for hours, and I wouldn't be the wiser. Loved it so much.

[@10DeeB]

Could listen to you both talking for ever, she did Orlando *love* that film. So interesting. The bathroom makes it so immediately intimate and personal too. You're fab.

[@EmilySB123]

The best one yet. Thank you, and can't wait for Part 2.

[@sarahchalmers3339]

This is an brilliant and really interesting interview. This is my first insight onto movie make up artistry and Morag is so lovely and just unassuming about her amazing craft and abilities. So so so impressed. Great interview Sali, cannot wait for part 2....

[@edeneverly2573]

Sense and Sensibility is one of my very favorite films of all time. I own it and watch it all the time! I'm a huge fan!!

[@Astrid-jt8vd]

Amazing video and conversation as always Sali. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, lots of love / Astrid

[@vickystar46]

best one yet, so interesting. I have to listen to these videos only as the shaky camera is so annoying that I can't watch them. I loved Pretty Honest also!!!

[@marianamejia]

the best one yet, thank you so much Sali X

[@hannahrose2986]

Love these Sali! This one was so informative and interesting, what an inspiration Morag is. Can't wait to see part 2 as I'm a total product junkie. Xx

[@clairemcgrath8629]

Fantastic video, loved Morag xx

[@jasminsangha7615]

this was so interesting. love hearing from a film perspective x

[@JustKatD]

Absolute perfection! I can not wait for part 2.

[@jessolsen-wells5643]

This was fascinating! Thank you Sali and Morag x

[@suzannecoffey1391]

So fascinating. I loved hearing all the behind the scenes technical stuff. Do you know I'd never really considered how vital a great professional makeup artist is to the end result of a movie!

[@TigerHorseTiger]

Sali, just wanted to share that I'm really inspired by your intellect, sensitivity, hutzpah and clarity of thought as a person. You're one of my spirit warriors ☺

[@ijfox87]

I found this truly fascinating. What a humble lovely lady. I also love your style of interviewing, it flows so fluently! ❤️

[@bluevioletnova]

She has beautiful elegant hands. This was absolutely fascinating.

[@florencerodriguez7284]

Sali, thank you so much for this video! As much as i love all the previous ones with some of the best mua from the fashion industry, this video is so so so inspiring for me ! I really want to work in the film industry and her work is remarkable. Again thank you and bisou from Paris. Florence xx.

[@corinnaharrod]

Thanks so much for this! Oh to be a daily on a Morag Ross film

[@ameliecuppens1055]

Great video! I can't wait to see part 2.

[@mialucas2000]

This was just so interesting; a fantastic video...thanks!

[@MrsBrent]

Love that we get a insight to film make up!

[@cazfarri]

I think Morag is my favourite of all of the interviewees for I.T.B. Very interesting insight into the thought process of movie makeup, she's very candid, I love what she said about HD. Even as a theatre goer, you look and say "Why do I need to see X,Y,Z has large nose pores, it's distracting. I vote for another interview with her.

[@donnamclaren952]

I want to hear more from Morag!!! She is amazing

[@downtomarsaudio]

Great interview! Brought to mind another case of bad aging make-up in the epilogue scene of the final harry potter movie.

[@JesM94]

This was so good!

[@lamalawyer]

Sali you look so great with glasses!! Would love to see a tutorial or blog post about makeup for glasses from you!!! :)

[@ThePrincessnady1]

LOVED this!!!

[@aliciaf1055]

Another In The Bathroom so soon! What a treat.

[@jocollins8833]

Yes! !

[@ladyneroli]

I find period make up really interesting. When you watch a lot of period dramas filmed in the 80s or 90s, often the makeup is 80s or 90s rather than the period in which the action is taking place. I really admired Downton Abbey for having the actors wearing my natural/nude makeup in the early series which would have been true to the era. Anyway - really enjoyed this. Would loved to have heard about her process for researching the period looks but I know there isn't' time for everything! Her thoughts on HD were really interesting. Fascinating industry and woman!

[@cjwonderment]

Fascinating! Great interview :)

[@challengedanika8765]

I love these videos so SO much! I do sometimes wish the lighting was better. Great questions as always

[@california4623]

loved this!

[@perfumistarachie5878]

Utterly fascinating! Thanks

[@catherinehamill7448]

Love this Sali!!! Can u do a video on perfumes again- especially bridal perfume ideas🙏🏽

[@najmehalyasin4194]

Great conversation!!

[@s_shaleh]

I can't believe I skipped this one because I thought it was going to be some random interior decorator or something again. Sorry Sali... I still love you and this series. Hahaha.... But this lady is brilliant! Her body of work is just amazing! I should have known it was her. Lisa Eldridge had posted an interview she did with her sometime ago on her website for her work in Carol and I was just so intrigued to learn more about her.

[@kater2873]

Sali your interviews are intriguing and enlightening, such a treat to watch. I always look forward to watching your 'in the bathroom with' series, as the are full of information. I hope you don't mind me asking, but I love the colour of your lipstick, would you mind sharing what it is. thank you.

[@liangevafeng]

Sali you always look so beautiful and classy. I love all your dresses.

[@ChloeHendry3]

i love these videos but please get a tripod or at least a cameraperson who can stay still and have some respect for framing

[@AnitaGoaWellBeing]

thank you for posting these interesting interviews. i loved it and learning about Morag and screen artistry. and sally you look smashing in your glasses and your hair is amazing!! some constructive feedback: the moving camera is very distracting. my suggestions: 1. put camera on a tripod. it can still be moved even on a tripod to get the angles you want during the interview but once it's at the angle it stays still until moved again. 2. get a second camera for a different angle and when editing use cut-aways. both cameras on tripods. it will be an even more enjoyable experience for us viewers and also be easier on videographers arms/shoulders instead of holding the camera for such a long interview. thank you for considering. much love, Anita :-)

[@julianamerz9493]

Hilarious - the bit about "bad aging makeup". SO TRUE!

[@kundiwang1289]

so interesting and inspiring！

[@laurahewitt7774]

Lovely woman, lovely video X

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Fabulous interview. Many thanks. Could you do an interview with Meryl Streep?

[@cr862010]

What an inspirational person.

[@leoninhughes]

So interesting!

[@ProgrammedToFunction]

Love these but the wobbly camera drives me mental

[@mindsketches]

Love this series and I'm looking forward to part two. But, I had to treat this as audio only in the end. The lack of any full face views of Morag was very frustrating as was the wobbly camera and random angle switches. Please get a better camera person, a tripod or do the interview portion sitting side by side so that at least both you and your guest are in full view to the audience.

[@theodorabrown1294]

+mindsketches I'm wondering if it's because of the layout of the bathroom and a compromise to actually be able to do it in the bathroom. My bathroom is laid out like this and it's quite hard to get two people in there, much less two subjects + cameraperson + equipment.

[@AB-hs4cd]

Really interesting xx

[@ikaw41]

very interesting, thank you :D

[@AdeleDaisyx3]

dream bathroom

[@maggielunn8923]

Very talented people graduated from the Glasgow School of Art

[@SadieDLdn]

Great video - just stick the camera on a feckin tripod! :)

[@Noura_f12]

wow

[@MsBila18]

The thing I hate the most is people referring models as always being 'beautiful and having beautiful skin'. Beauty is obviously subjective. I find models to be very mediocre and oke but not beautiful (besides some). I think people on film and 'normal' people wipe the floor with those so called models. Just my opinion.
