PS: What's your advice for biracial women when it comes to finding makeup shades?
ZC: One shade is not enough and that's with every face, honestly. Sometimes you have to mix colors. Everyone has different parts of their face with different tones and shades. Experiment using lighter in the middle and darker around the edges.
Also, really think about your undertones, because I've seen a lot of women use things on their faces that turn ashy or gray. I know that sounds ridiculous and weird, but definitely take the time to look at your skin and be like, "Yo, what's under there?" You'd be surprised — the colors from a distance look pretty much the same. But when you get up close and put them on your hand, it's like, "Whoa, that's definitely more yellow and that's definitely more ashy. That's not going to work on my skin." You have to work that out.
PS: How do you take care of your skin when you travel?
ZC: When I travel, it's all about moisture. When you're on an airplane, you definitely have to have some type of moisturizer with you at all times. And something you can pack on at night and just sleep in. Whatever works best for you.
PS: Do you have a favorite right now?
ZC: Not really. I'm kind of in a transitional period. I've been trying to find a new moisturizer, because if I stay with one for too long my skin gets used to it and it doesn't work as well.
