Lupita Nyong’o reveals her skincare secrets
Lupita Nyong’o has been the beauty on everyone’s lips during awards season, thanks to her incredible stylish outfits and daring beauty looks, we’re always looking forward to seeing what she wears next.
Thanks to her being one of the faces of the latest Miu Miu campaign, we can expect that Miuccia Prada will get the honour of dressing her at the Oscars, and we are certainly waiting tentatively for the big unveiling in early March.
Not only has the 12 Years a Slave actress displayed incredible style choices throughout awards season, her beauty choices have been mesmerising too – the blue and purple eye make-up at the 2014 SAG Awards was without-a-doubt our favourite.
But the actress has revealed in an interview with Glamour magazine that she doesn’t rely on make-up to make her feel beautiful.
She said: “If a girl wants to wear makeup to boost confidence, why not? [But] I’ve worked hard to feel beautiful in my natural skin. Personally, I don’t ever want to depend on makeup to feel beautiful.”
And it’s easy to see that Lupita doesn’t need make-up to look beautiful either, thanks to gorgeous glowing skin. Her secrets involve natural products:
“I love using natural oils. I use avocado oil and Hawaiian kukui oil on my face. I like to keep things natural, simple, and straightforward.”
But her ultimate style tip, and yes believe us when we say it’s not entirely glamorous, circulation socks.
“On a very practical level, I’ve learned the importance of circulation socks [for planes]. I had this awful experience of getting off a flight to go to an event and my feet had swelled. Try getting into heels then! So you put on the socks for the flight, then you can wear whatever heels you want.”
