Bow to this queen’s budget look
When it comes to beauty, the 33-year-old West Side Story star knows she only has to live up to one person’s standards: her own.
“My grandmother and my aunt always said, ‘You have to take care of your skin,’” DeBose said People.
“My view on beauty is that you should do what makes you confident. I am no longer interested in other people’s perception of beauty. I am interested in feeling beautiful.”
She’s definitely found what works best for her, including a drugstore find.
The Tony Award nominee proves you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a splash on the red carpet.
She is especially a big fan of affordable eyeshadow.
DeBose swears by the Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Waterproof Mascara, which is just $4.99 on Amazon.
“What I like about it is it’s not a flaky, water-resistant mascara,” she told the outlet.
