Karrueche Tran
In between acting, I'm still going to be doing modeling and different ventures.
I love the light-brown shadow I made with Colourpop. It's a nice matte and neutral color that gives a bit of definition on the lids.
I kind of dated a woman-ish, but there's just something about a man that's just masculine, and just there's things that women don't have that men do.
After I wake up, I take a shower, and that's when I wash my face.
Some days I'll put on a face mask for 30 minutes, and then I'll wash it off in the shower.
I see a lot of girls whose concealer is way too light, or their foundation is way too dark, or I can see when their neck and face color don't match. I think it's very important to find the right foundation and concealers and the right brands that really complement your skin.
I always wash my face at night, even if I have to use face wipes.
I hate the treadmill.
Diets don't really work for me.
I stopped eating carbs and red meat for a month and a half, and I was like, 'Oh, no, I lost my butt!' I have to eat potatoes and rice and meat to bulk up. But I do try not to eat too much fast food.
I really like working with someone one-on-one - my trainer kicks my butt!
One day, I just hit a point where I was like, 'What am I going to do with my life, with my career?' I have all of these little things going on, but what am I going to really do? And for me, I saw longevity in acting.
I lived in L.A., and the possibility out there is endless. I could've done reality TV! It was offered to me plenty of times. But that just wasn't where my heart was. If I wanted quick fame or quick money, I could've taken that route, but it just wasn't settling right with me.
Reality TV - I'm not trying to dog it, everybody has their own thing, you know - but I didn't see it for me.
I've had scenes where I had to cry, and by the time I've cried for the 20th time, I'm exhausted.
In elementary school, I identified more with my Asian side. I had a lot of Korean friends, and then, once middle school hit, it was a little more diverse.
My main message is for people to live your life through love. That doesn't necessarily mean through a relationship. It could be your friends, your family, your workplace, even just walking down the street and smiling, saying 'Hi!' Embracing positivity!
I love social media. There are a lot of benefits, and it gives us a platform for what we want to become, but there's always such a negative tone to it. You see a picture, and the first thing you see or think is a negative comment.
It's easy to just be rude or just be nasty. I think it's actually harder for people to say something positive; it's interesting.
I just want women to come and learn from each other.
I would've never tried acting. I was at this point in my life where I was like, 'I have this following; what am I gonna do?' I could've done reality TV, but I didn't see any longevity in that. And my manager was like, 'Have you ever acted before?' And I was like, 'No... but I'll try it.' And so I tried it, and I liked it.
I'm a workaholic, but I also like to vacation.
I want to motivate people to be natural and to embrace their body and who they are.
I want to stress to people to be themselves instead of trying to be like others.
If one person did one thing to be successful, that doesn't necessarily mean that's your story, too.
Every woman has different needs and wants.
First and foremost, it's important to love yourself.
I hit a brick wall one day, and I spent a lot of time by myself learning about me and who I am and what I want and don't want.
When you love yourself and are able to indulge in yourself, and you're grounded in your 'yes' or 'no,' it's nothing to ask a guy on a date.
I like to wear clothes that look the best on my body, which is why I wear a lot of crop tops and high waisted bottoms - it gives me more shape and makes me look taller.
I never expected to become an actor at all. You can do anything you put your mind to it!
I hate sequins!
If you like it, wear it.
I've always been into volunteer work and charity work.
I was every other kid in elementary school. I was eating packaged burritos for lunch... and pizzas - it's not the worst, but not the best.
I walk out the house, and there's paparazzi. There's certain things I can't do if I wanted to date or go on a date. It's like, I have to worry about people taking pictures, and it's crazy.
I'm very traditional. I want to have kids. I want to be - not a stay-at-home mom, but to be able to take care of my kids and have a family and cook. A white picket fence and a dog.
I look at myself, I compare myself to other people, but then I make myself humble. You know what? God created you this way. You're you.
I think everyone should be their own individualized person.
I wash my face, steam it, and put on a mask right after because the steam opens up your pores. I put the mask on for ten minutes, wash it off, and then melt an ice cube all over my face because that tightens your pores. Then if it's nighttime, I do a night cream or serum or an oil, something to keep your skin moisturized.
I get really puffy eyes, so I'm all about a good puffy-eye mask.
I can't go anywhere without Chapstick - the store, the gym, traveling. I'm the one person that's, like, putting it on every two seconds.
Our hair is forever. We have to take care of it and maintain it.
I love using Mario Badescu Facial Spray while traveling. Sometimes the air circulation on the plane makes my face dry, so it keeps me refreshed and hydrated.
In the morning, I might have fruit or maybe oatmeal at home, or a bagel with coffee.
If I crave a burger, I'm like, 'Straight to In-N-Out.'
I do hot oil treatments at home while I'm cleaning my house or whatever.

If you can't love me the right way, then don't love me at all. Don't be mad at me because I prefer to be happy.Collection: Mad
