Beauty Q&A

Featuring Selena Gomez

the Best habit YOU Picked up During the Pandemic:

Cooking.

And THE WORST:

Watching too much TV.

A Beauty habit YOU Left Behind in YOUR teens:

I clean my skin now, but in my teens, I didn't care. I’d sleep with makeup on and get away with it – I guess, for a little while.

One Beauty technique YOU'RE BOMB At NOW, AND One YOU STILL need help With:

I still need help with eye shadow. What I've got down is the winged look. [The tip of Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner] stays pretty straight, and it's smooth. It's one of my favourites.

YOUR OFF-DUTY makeup Routine:

Lately, I've been using my Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Bliss a lot. I tap it onto my cheekbones, and maybe a little colour on my lip.

the FIRST thing YOU DO When YOU Wake up:

I usually drink a lot of water. It takes me a good 15 minutes to get out of bed.

the Secret to A REALLY GOOD SHOWER:

Lemon and eucalyptus essential oils. [It's a blend] that awakens everything.

the LAST thing YOU DO BEFORE YOU go to SLEEP:

My dogs get in my bed, and I wash my face.

I'll put on something comforting [to watch], such as Friends or Will & Grace, and just watch a few episodes, then fall asleep.

Something YOU Can't get enough OF:

Laughter. I love to laugh. I'm telling you, it's the greatest thing.

SHORT OR Long hair?

Everybody says long hair is me, and I think that's because I've worn it for a period of my life. But my short hair will, I think, always be me.

On Repeat:

Bob Dylan’s ‘The Times They Are A-changin'’.

the LAST tattoo YOU got:

After the album [Rare] came out, I went to New York and had Bang Bang put the word ‘Rare’ [under my ear]. He was, like, “Why are you getting a neck tattoo?” I was, like, “You'll understand.”

We all know Selena’s a woman of many talents, having released several hit records and embarked on an enviable acting career. Did you know she also hosts a cooking show? And – even better, in our opinion – she’s launched a beauty brand.
