Madame Figaro.-
You are the face of
Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent
, the evening perfume par excellence.
What smells do you like during the day?
I love the smell of my mom's cooking.
Looks like New York City.
I like the smell of incense.
Popcorn.
But the smell of freshly ground coffee is my favorite.
What is your makeup routine in everyday life?
I use Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat concealer every day.
I find that it is very good for illuminating the eyes, hiding small imperfections and unifying the complexion.
I love brushing my brows with Couture Brow Mascara.
And when I feel like getting a “cat-eye” on the sides of my eyes, I love using the Crushliner pencil.
Sometimes I add a light lipstick.
And that's about it !
I keep a rather natural look during the day.
And your skincare routine?
I love products from the Barbara Sturm and Biologique Recherche brands.
I also like very simple natural and organic products, for example I use coconut oil on my body and my hair.

What's the best beauty advice you've been given in your career?
I think I got it from my mother.
She always taught me that beauty comes from within.
Not only through what your personality reflects, but also through what you put in your body.
It's about listening to your body and your skin when they tell you to eat better, drink more water, sweat more.
It's really important to listen to all these signs, and then use makeup to highlight what you love about yourself and not to cover up these symptoms your body is expressing.
Precisely, what part of the body or face do you like the most about yourself?
I would say, my lips.
What are your tips for boosting confidence and self-esteem?
Surround yourself with people who love and appreciate you.
Those that have a huge impact on your self-esteem.
Express yourself, whether through clothing or makeup.
Feel yourself by making the inside reflect the outside.
It always helps me feel more confident.
When I wear my braids, I feel much more feminine

What makeup or hairstyle helps you feel more confident, powerful?
I love the cat-eye eyeliner.
I've always loved that.
I think this look suits the shape of my eyes well.
You can make a very simple, almost invisible version, or make a bolder line.
It's a real classic.
As for my hair, I love it when my braids are loose and I leave them alone.
When I wear my braids, I feel much more feminine.
Is there a bold hair look you haven't tried yet but would love to dare?
I love edgy haircuts on women, it's very cool.
I change my hairstyle a lot and I often cut my hair, I dyed it... I don't know if there is something I haven't tried yet!
Maybe shave my head?
But I don't know if I'd be brave enough to do that!

How do you keep your body in shape?
I do Pilates.
I started making them while filming the
Batman
movie and really enjoyed it.
I love the concept of building a really strong core, stretching your muscles and all that.
I find that it helps to keep in shape but also to be more flexible.
I try to do it more regularly.
I think it's also important to move around.
I live in New York, you know... Once in a while, I take my bike.
Sometimes I make sure to walk instead of taking the subway or the car to try to move my body all day, it's great.

I'm constantly doing three things at once
Zoe Kravitz
How do you unwind after a long day at work?
Probably listening to music, watching movies at home alone.
It's one of my favorite things to do at the end of the day or in the evening right before I go to sleep.
I really try to focus on the movie and put my phone down so I'm not on it at the same time.
These days, people put on a movie to have something in the background while they're doing stuff on their phone.
I think it's good to keep his attention on one thing at a time, it helps me calm down.
If not, I am constantly doing three things at once.
