Dua Lipa is all about authenticity over a "carefully crafted persona" when it comes to her music and fan base on stage, telling Vogue, "I sweat quite a lot, but if the makeup runs, the makeup runs! I don't want anything to be perfect."
Things are no different for her in waking life. As the face of Yves Saint Laurent Beauté's fragrance, Lipa was ultimately chosen "because she embodies today's liberated, no-compromise, write-your-own-rules YSL woman," according to YSL. With that same bold and fearless transparency, Lipa posted a photo of her makeup-free skin post-facial, which she unapologetically captioned, "My skin is all spotty post facial and now on the drive home I realized I should just be OK with the changes in my skin. So here it is!"
Dua Lipa has also been outspoken against the longstanding boundaries dictating women's appearances on a grander scale. "Everyone is allowed to wear whatever the f*ck they want and it's so important that they do," she told Refinery29 when discussing her fashion choices on tour. "This is the way we move forward in the world. We have to break the norms. . . . Because what is normal, anyway?"
