Having started her career young with a breakout role at 13 on the hit Disney show “Shake It Up,” Zendaya Coleman – these days known simply as Zendaya – is no newbie to the spotlight. In fact, she handles the media so well one might say she was born for this. Zendaya‘s fearlessness and confidence have taken her career to the next level. It’s her bold personality and style choices on top of her many talents that have helped get her where she is today.
I actually believe it was at the Oscars last year where her true moment began. Her decision to rock dread locs to the awards show received much controversial criticism, and her graceful reactions and confidence are what took her from child star to grown woman. Known for being a singer, actress, “Dancing With The Stars” competitor and social media maven, Zendaya can now add to her list being the newest face of CoverGirl. Her beauty shines undeniably inside and out.
In a recent StyleCaster interview Zendaya unveiled a few of of her signature beauty tips and tricks. When asked to describe her sense of fashion, she says, “Style-wise, I am fearless.” All I can think is YOU GO GIRL! She goes on to explain that she does her own makeup, even for events and shows. She admits to being a Youtube lover as a child and simply taking tips and tricks she’s learned over time from different people and making her own routine.
Zendaya loves a nude lip with a hint of pink/coral in it. “I like to mix colors. If there’s one good nude that I like, I put a dab of pink or coral or something else, too,” she said in an interview with Byrdie. But most of all she can’t go anywhere without her lip balm. “I cannot have chapped lips, it drives me crazy.” Other must-have items in her purse are perfume and lotion. Nothing like a girl with moist lips, soft moisturized skin and who smells heavenly.

Her favorite go-to makeup item? “Shimmer. I love shimmery stuff. That’s my secret.” She says it gives her the illusion of beautiful glowing skin and it has the added benefit of masking her tiredness. Naked Illuminating Shimmer Powder for Face & Body, $30 is one of her faves.
She sticks to a thin waterline eyeliner. “For my type of eye shape, I have to do thin lines; thick lines close my eyes off a little bit.” She comments that she prefers to use an eyeliner pen, and oddly enough, applies her eyeliner with her eyes open (talk about difficult!) She acknowledges that everyone’s eyes are shaped differently and you should base your everyday look off of that. Everyone can’t rock a dark smokey eye and everyone doesn’t look good with a over done winged liner.
Her most important tip is to take your time. “Always plan ahead. Always give yourself enough time and a cushion. The more time you have the better because you are going to end up using it all, guaranteed.” I can 100% agree with her on this! There is nothing worse than trying to rush your way through your beauty process. If you end up finishing early, then hey that leaves you plenty of time to document your accomplishment with a selfie!
