The Oscar-winning actress, Lupita Nyong'o who rose to fame after her performance in the â12 years a slaveâ movie which won her a Golden Globe is known to be one of the celebrities who always rock the red carpet with her natural look and beautiful dark skin looking flawless.
The actress however explained why she prefer to go natural than go out with a makeup on saying she was brought up in a home where make up was not allowed because her mother was a woman who liked to keep it natural
âMy mother has never ever worn a drop of makeup in her lifeânot even at her wedding. Honestly, my motherâs outlook was hard for me to take when I was a teenager and I wanted to experiment. But in the end I appreciated it, because today I can look in a mirror with no makeup on and love myselfâ.
Lupita who said this in Lucky Magazine's March 2015 issue also added that her mother did not see make up as necessary and she thinks so to but if she puts on make up its not to hide herself but to adorn herself.

âMy mother didnât think makeup was necessary, and I donât think it's necessary.â she said. âItâs an accessory. Itâs as necessary as a pair of earrings, if you know what I mean. Itâs something I do to adorn myself. I donât do it to hide myselfâ.
The actress also added that she likes to match what she wears with a lip so she makes sure to kip some at all times.
âI always have a [LANCOME] Lip Lover, in one shade or another, in my purse. They just add a little bit of szoozh. Iâll choose the color depending on what Iâm wearing and how much tint I wantâ, she stated.
