What’s always in your bag?
A thousand lip tints and lip balms. And I’m not even exaggerating. Tinted lip balm is my go-to product. I probably buy more lip tints and lip balms and lip products than anything else—typically in stick form; all of them pinks or reds. And then I also usually have a sunscreen. I prefer SPF 50 or above. A stick, or I like it in lotion, too. I stopped using aerosol cans.
What will you try to teach your daughter about beauty?
I really feel like my mom gave me my confidence. She’s just, from day one, been my biggest fan. Those times when I’d feel at my lowest low, she just wouldn’t see that; she wouldn’t have it. She would say, “No, you’re incredible. You’re wonderful. You’re beautiful.” All of those things you want to hear. I feel like if I can pass that on to Lu, in terms of teaching her what beauty is...I mean, it’s her; she’s perfect. She was born perfect. In my mind, that’s beauty.
