Meant A Lot To Me

Lily Collins is on the cover of ASOS magazine’s October issue. The young actress is on the cover to promote her new film Love, Rosie. Highlights from her interview are below.

On her life at this moment: “I never thought I’d be doing what I’m doing at 25. I feel happy. I’m taking more risks, whether with work or with myself. It’s an ‘if not now, when?’ vibe and I’m definitely trying to be more of a yes person. Because yes is much more fun than no!”

On her friends from Los Angeles: “My friends have all known me forever,’ she says of her L.A. gang. ‘They’re all in different arenas. One works in the art world, one works for a magazine, one used to work in politics and now works for a major TV network in New York. We’re all just silly and have fun together and there’s no talk about business. I need that.”

On her makeup routine: “For a night out, I love a lot of mascara. You want drama in the eyes. And then a good lip that you don’t have to touch up all night. I’m not a fan of shading on eyes if I have a dark lip, because my eyebrows are dark and my eyes look closed in. Or, if you’re shading the eyes,  a nude lip. I balance it out or it looks like you’re wearing too much make-up.”
