In an interview with People, the 28-year-old dishes on her plethora of beauty looks while also talking about the “Kris Jenner vibe” she’s working right now.
Read on for HIGHlights!
On her favorite beauty product: “From day one of my career, lipstick has been one of my favorite parts of makeup. With performing and singing, my mouth is what people look at. So I’ve always made sure my lipstick was nice and my lip liner is neat, and I’ve become obsessed with how neat and clean you can make your lipstick look. Acrylip comes in every color and it stays on for ages, which every woman wants. It’s something people associate me with.”
On her changing hairstyles: “Sometimes I look at myself and think, you look like 50 different people. I get bored. I’m not attached to anything, and I’m not afraid to explore with my hair and my makeup and my style creatively. At the moment, I’ve got this Kris Jenner vibe going on. It’s not the ideal haircut for me, but it is what it is. Whatever it is, I just kind of work with it.”
On making makeup last: “HD powder is my favorite powder. It’s one of the things I use every day on my Arena tour, the Make Up For Ever HD powder and it’s a white powder and you put it on and nothing moves. Waterproof mascara is always a must. And individual eyelashes have changed my life.”
On the makeup-free movement: “Most days I’m makeup-free, and then there’s days when I love makeup. I think it’s really like, I don’t want anyone to think makeup should ever be to cover up something that’s deeper than just enhancing your features. For me it’s more of an expressive outlet, as opposed to something that’s gonna make you feel like you have to cover something up. Everybody has their own personal relationship with makeup, whether it’s just a brow or a smoky eye. When you see the video that we’ve shot for this, there’s a look that’s just the lip and nothing else, and there’s the look that’s really heavy. I’m in celebration of the face.”
On what makes her feel powerful: “Being comfortable in my own and being at complete peace with myself in how I look. I didn’t always feel like that, especially when I was younger in the public eye. The album I’m writing now is somewhat a female empowerment album, and one of the most important things for women in this day and age is to talk about their strengths and celebrate their weaknesses. I don’t have a big bum, I don’t have big boobs, I’m not small or athletic looking, I’m very tall and very slim ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ and that’s who I am, I don’t care if I’m on trend. I feel happy when I wake up and go to sleep.”
