Lupita Nyong’o is known for slaying the red carpet with glowing skin, a vibrant lip, and colorful smoky eyes, but at one point in the Lancome spokesmodel’s life, wearing makeup was a no-go. The Oscar-winning actress, 31, dishes on the strict beauty ban in the Nyong’o household in Lucky magazine’s March 2015 issue.
“My mother has never ever worn a drop of makeup in her life — not even at her wedding,” Nyong’o said. The only access the Star Wars actress had to makeup came courtesy of an aunt, who occasionally snuck in the beauty goods while her mother was out. “Honestly, my mother’s outlook was hard for me to take when I was a teenager and wanted to experiment. But in the end I appreciated it, because today I can look in a mirror with no makeup on and love myself.”
As badly as she wanted to wear makeup as teen, Nyong’o now sees it as nothing more than an added extra. “My mother didn’t think makeup was necessary, and I don’t think it’s necessary.” she said. “It’s an accessory. It’s as necessary as a pair of earrings, if you know what I mean. It’s something I do to adorn myself. I don’t do it to hide myself.”
As proof, Nyong’o posted a bare-faced split image of her mom in 1983, with herself in 2015 without makeup via Instagram on Monday, Feb. 9 — and the duo are practically identical with bright smiles and big brown eyes.
