I like to experiment with my looks: Lupita Nyong’o
Actor Lupita Nyong’o, 31, says she likes playing with bold eye shadow colours and lipstick when she steps out on the red carpet. “My relationship with make-up is similar to my relationship with food. I like to experiment, and it depends on what I’m in the mood for. Generally, for everyday, I opt for light pink and plum glosses. In terms of lipsticks, I like burgundies and earthy tones. I also like to play with bright colours — especially for film events,” she adds.
Nyong’o also says that a vibrant lip colour is the perfect way to steal the limelight. “Lipstick is a great way to bring a whole outfit together or quickly feel dressed up, that is if I’m feeling bold and don’t mind the extra attention.”
