The British pop singer who has collaborated with cosmetics giant Rimmel, fronted campaigns for DKNY, Roberto Cavalli, Coca-Cola and more revealed she hasn't always been comfortable in her skin and wears her signature bold red lipstick for 'confidence'.
On how comfortable she was then and is now about her face and body.
"No
I wasn’t. It’s a great facade, It’s a whole character of mine. I
matured much earlier when I was growing up. I started my period when I
was, like 13. I started to get breasts and a butt way younger than other
kids. I went to musical theater school where we would wear leotards for
dance classes, so you couldn’t really hide anything. I used to get
bullied for it. And then at 16, when peoples’ hormones started kicking
in, I was all hot again. I think it definitely was a crazy teenage
confusion for me. Meeting my fans now they’re like, “Thank you so much
for being so comfortable in your skin.” I think they are more grateful
for that than for anything. It’s important for someone’s state of mind
to feel comfortable instead of feeling like they have to fit in all the
time". Another photo after the cut...
On why she rocks signature red lips and never nude or softer shades.
"My
personal favorite is red, but a lot of people have told me that the
nudes and the browns suit me more. Recently I’ve been definitely a bit
more comfortable with it. We shot Elle Canada the cover yesterday, and
it’s my second nude [makeup] cover, which is a bit crazy, but it looks
really cool. I think it was definitely a confidence mask starting out,
but now I’m getting into it and really understanding it. I’m starting to
experiment more, especially with my eye makeup".
