Corporate-Approved Beauty Advice From Girl Bosses We Admire
3
The role model: Maysoon Zayid, writer and disability advocate
Everyday beauty essential: "I have a split beauty personality. When I’m on stage or on television doing standup comedy, I wear a lot of makeup, big Jersey hair, lashes, and eyeliner. Then, the rest of the time, I do no makeup and gym suits." Her favorite hairspray is by Chi ($16). Maysoon uses the products exclusively on her hair to keep her strands thick and healthy.
Confidence-boosting secret: "My catchphrase is: 'If I can, can. You can, can.' Meaning if I can do it, you can do it."
Best advice (ever): "Just get over it! You should never let your physical body or other people’s opinion of you hold you back. Only you get to define you. When something knocks you down, take a minute get over it, and get up. And if you can’t get over it, get help because there’s no shame in asking for help."
