Having just turned 16 this year, stranger things Actress and skincare founder Millie Bobby Brown accomplished more than most in her early teens. Not only did she star in a hit Netflix show that literally broke the internet, but she’s also the founder of her own Gen Z beauty brand, Florence by Mills, named after her grandmother.
Safe to say, being an entrepreneur in your teens puts us all to shame. Repeat after me, “we all have the same time in the day as Millie Bobby Brown”.
SHE sat down with the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador to discuss all things beauty – including ten-minute makeup routines and tips from her mum…
I wake up at…
… 6 a.m. When I shoot, I normally have to be on set quite early.
The first thing that goes through my mouth every day is…
… the water. I leave a glass by my bed at night to drink in the morning. And if it’s not water, it’s tea – I’m British so that’s a fact!
My makeup routine…
… it’s quick ! For me, it’s 10 minutes max. I use products from my own brand, Florence by Mills, like Built to Lash Mascara and Cheek Me Later Cream Blush on my lips and cheeks.
My unwavering beauty habit is…
… lip balm – my lips are always chapped.
My worst beauty habit is…
…I don’t wash my makeup brushes often enough.
The last beauty product I bought was…
… a fun manicure with nail art. I try to keep my nails in good condition and coat them with cuticle oil – I bought an Essie oil from Boots the last time I was in the UK.
My current status is…
… sweet – it’s my day off! I try to disconnect as much as possible, doing something creative like singing or cooking, or watching Disney movies with my little sister.
I feel most relaxed when…
… I finally go to bed. I spray on This Works Deep Sleep pillow spray and put on my sleep mask.
I feel sad when…
…I’m thinking of all the bullying and toxicity on social media.
The weirdest thing in my fridge is…
… my skin care – I have gel patches under my eyes that get cold all the time. Oh, and guacamole, no matter what.
My biggest beauty indulgence is…
… a hot bath with essential oils. Lavender is my favorite scent – it really calms me down.
Tell us a beauty secret…
… being yourself is the best way to feel beautiful. It really hit me after I shaved my head [for Stranger Things] – people looked at me differently. But I realized that my hair doesn’t define me. Shaving it made me more confident to experiment with my look.
