The most inspiring beauty advice she's ever been given:
"This person did not mean it as beauty advice, but I always remember it. When you look in the mirror, give them everything, give them nothing. [Laughs.] One of my friends, Brian Lewis, he was saying that about some expression — we were on the dance floor or something. And he yelled it at a wedding. That's it. That's what beauty is about. You definitely want to come correct and all that, but you also want mystique."
What makes her feel truly empowered:
"For me, getting to a place where I love my naked skin has been the most empowering thing. It means that everything else is just bonus. I can be adventurous and curious and humorous and still come back to me. The way in which I use beauty products is always as a celebration of just naked me. Naked skin is your bare skin with all its blemishes . . . [my blemishes] are in secret places."
The beauty we can expect from Black Panther:
"Watching the trailer, I just forgot that I was there when it was happening because the final product was so grand and astounding. And honestly, the creative team behind it gave us everything. It's flooring — it was flooring when I was there, and I know it will be flooring when people see it. Because it's Afro imagination at 197 percent. So yeah, the world should get ready."
