Emma Watson thinks that many Hollywood actresses end up looking the same and she worries about her own appearance because she doesn’t want to morph in to another clone. The ‘Harry Potter’ actress believes in standing out, especially on the red carpet, and she says she often looks to French actresses for inspiration because she thinks they know how to look more “real” and have interesting personalized looks:
”The funny thing about beauty is that you have to be careful you don’t end up looking like someone else, especially in the film industry. I’ve noticed that throughout people’s careers everyone gradually begins to look more and more alike. I admire French actresses because on the red carpet they look human – they aren’t blow-dried and made-up to the point of resembling robots – and they tend to look individual. That’s the best thing about beauty: you can experiment with lots of colours and effects to find what works for you.”
Emma says she loves makeup and its ability to transform. She often does her own red carpet makeup and loves giving her friends makeovers too. During the day however, she likes to opt for something more natural and keeps the statement lipstick for an evening out:
”I have always really loved make-up. I grew up around make-up artists – they were mysurrogate mothers – so I have learnt a lot from them, such as the impact that lipstick can have. However, I usually save it for evenings. For daytime I like to wear a pink-tinted lip-balm such as Figs & Rouge’s Lemon Berry. It looks effortless. Wearing something tinted is much more glamorous than just putting on any old lip-balm. I’ve always enjoyed doing my own make-up, and I still often do it for events. I do my friends’ make-up a lot, too.”
