'I Don't Depend On Make-Up To Be Beautiful': Stunning Actress Lupita Nyong’o Shares Her Beauty Secrets With Glamour

Actress of the moment Lupita Nyong'o looks sensational in her Glamour magazine feature which marks their 75th edition.

The 30 year old 12 Years A Slave star revealed to the magazine that when it comes to her skin: 'I love using natural oils. I use avocado oil and Hawaiian kukui oil on my face. I like to keep things natural, simple, and straightforward. '

On her red carpet look she says, 'I love color. I’m enjoying trying all different shades. Makeup isn’t something I’ve worn a lot of in my life. So it’s good to work with someone like [makeup artist] Nick Barose, who is inspired by my complexion and knows how to work with it.'

She also spoke about attending an all-boys school, explaining: 'They had these archaic rules: For example, girls couldn’t wear makeup.
'I found it so outrageous that an all-boys school could tell girls to not wear makeup! So I went on a campaign. I got a petition signed and everything.
'If a girl wants to wear makeup to boost confidence, why not? [But] I’ve worked hard to feel beautiful in my natural skin. Personally, I don’t ever want to depend on makeup to feel beautiful.'

Lupita recently admitted her shock and delight when she learned that she had been nominated for an best supporting actress Oscar.
She said: 'I had a very good cry with my best friend, and then we had a dance party, just me and him.'

Oscar nominee Lupita dazzled as she attended the Hollywood Reporter Nominees Night in Beverly Hills earlier in the week.
