Kerry Washington Shares Her Top Beauty & Style Rules
According to US magazine, the 37-year-old mum and Scandal actress sat down with Yahoo! Beauty’s Editor-in-Chief, Bobbi Brown, to discuss her makeup secrets, red carpet loves, and more.
“I never go to sleep with makeup on,” Washington said to Brown. “I wear makeup at work every day and then cook underneath lights, so I always have those remover wipes in my bag because they get everything – even waterproof mascara.”When she’s not playing Olivia Pope, the Neutrogena spokeswoman and wife to Nnamdi Asomugha stays fresh as a daisy. “On my days off, I am really a no makeup (or very little makeup) girl,” she says. “I think a little concealer is great and I love mascara. A little lip, a little eye – I feel like you are good to go!”
When it comes to her closet, however, the proud mum to 5-month-old Isabelle is happy to take big risks. “I really gravitate toward having all different styles in my closet because I feel like I always want to dress to fit my mood or where I am going,” Washington explained. She name-checked Jason Wu, Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta and Rodarte as designers for her stunning red carpet looks.

In her opinion, every girl should have a tailor in her phone. She adds, “I don’t care if you are like a supermodel size zero or a plus size girl, clothes are not meant for every single person – it is just not possible.”
While the Django Unchained stunner loves to accessorize with heels, she’s also obsessed with footwear more true to her New York-bred roots.
