The 'Pretty Little Liars' star and her "glam squad" likes to listen to different songs whilst they are working on her look as she feels it "gets them in the right headspace".
She said: "Honestly, I am such good friends with my glam squad and love creating looks so it's a really fun time! Music is big for me because it sets the tone and gets you in the right headspace.
"I put on Spotify, choose a mood and I always like to be surprised. Currently, I am all about '90s hip-hop, so we are listening to a lot of Mase and old Ja Rule."
And the 29-year-old actress tries not to take makeup "too seriously" and likes to use it as a way to "accentuate" her natural features.
She added: "Makeup should be something that's fun and not taken too seriously. It should be used to accentuate your natural features but also to play around and experiment. I think it's all about playing, and that's why I was so excited to get to work with Smashbox because that is what they are known for.
"They are very creative, and now I get to be a part of the brand with these awesome palettes. I love that there are seven completely different looks, so depending on your mood or where you're going, you can tap into these different personalities. It's an idea that was a no-brainer for me because that's how I use makeup."
Meanwhile, Shay also admitted she is "fascinated" with how "transformative" makeup is.
She told US HELLO! magazine: "Growing up I would watch my mom get ready by putting on her red lipstick or eyeshadows - it was the 1980s so she went full force - but it was always fun to see how she changed her look.
"Then I got into modelling and acting so I got to work with amazing artists who could totally change my appearance. And I became fascinated by the transformative process."
