But before Im able to ask Shay Mitchell, the actor and entrepreneur has me beat.

That image is permanently ingrained in my mind: my Caboodle and that one product.
Its an appropriate answer given the exciting news: Mitchell is the new global ambassador of Maybelline.
But more important, its a believable answer.
Who among us didnt use the same iconic green and pink tube growing up?
In a similar way, Mitchells career carries the same kind of special nostalgia.
Shes always constantly trying to steal my makeup artist, says Mitchell.
Thats always fun when she seesAsh [K. Holm]or someone come over.
She wants to run up on the chair and get some lip balm put on.
Kids look up to their parents and want to emulate the same routine that they see their parents doing.
Early fame also taught Mitchell lessons that go beyond skin deep.
She gained recognition when filters were just starting to come out, an experience she reflects on.
Instagram was really heavy, all of that.
Why am I jealous?
Why am I feeling some throw in of way about the content Im seeing?
I dont know whats actually true in this persons life.
Now, Mitchell hopes to pass down the same wisdom to her daughters.
Theres so much that goes into it.
And I know from shoots and all of that.
Glamour:Youre joining a long line of women who have been Maybelline ambassadors.
Is there a specific commercial or campaign that sticks out to you?
Shay Mitchell:Adriana Lima, I grew up with that.
The GOATest of GOATs.
I dont even know if thats a word, but yes.
Whats one beauty trend or hack that youre obsessed with right now?
For example, Im really into liquid blushes, specifically theMaybelline Sunkisser Multi-Use Liquid Blushand using fingers to apply.
Whats one beauty rule you swear by?
I will always take my makeup off.
I can say I have, on two occasions, kept my makeup on.
I got my makeup done by one of my makeup artist friends, and I absolutely loved it.
And I had something the next day, I slept with it on.
I still took it off the next day just because I was like, I cant do this.
Its not the same.
I put the air conditioner to 63.
I tried to fridge my face.
It does not work.
Its better to start over.
Even if I have incredible makeup on, it must come off every single night.
Im a big fan of removing and going to sleep with a clean face.
And then I always clean my makeup brushes.
I will not go longer than three weeks or something without cleaning my makeup brushes.
Fill in the blank.
I feel most beautiful when___.
I feel most beautiful when my daughters look at me, when they just have that gaze.
And honestly, Atlas is really into trying on makeup herself and using my products.
Or when she says, Mom, you look beautiful.
Ah, heart melts!
Its after being in front of my girls and then feeling like I look pretty.

Whats your take on theSephora kidtrend?
Atlas is a lot younger.
Shes only four and a half, so I havent experienced that yet.
Were not at that age.
For anybody else, though, great, but hopefully with the correct products.
That makes me sad, if youre putting ingredients on your face that arent meant for you.
Im happy that back in the day I wasnt obsessed with all of this stuff.
What has been your biggest beauty fail?
I wish I knew aboutcontouringandhighlightingback in the day.
Thats something I didnt have when I was in high school.
I had my onefoundationthat I used all over.
I didnt know what contour, highlighting, and concealing was.
I had one shade.
And you know what?
I think it makes for really epic photos when I look back.
Im not even mad at it.
you might only use three makeup products for the rest of your life.
What are they and why?
Number one,Sky High Mascara in Very Black.
If I have to have just one product, its definitely a Sky High mascara.
That would be in my bag.
Blush, because thats also something that Im very into.
What do they call it,underpainting?
Im underpainting with Uptown Girl, and on top of that, Ill putSol Search.
Those are my two favorites.
If I could just use three products, thats kind of covered eyes, cheeks, and lips.
There we have it.
And then letting your skin breathe in that case.
Ill just go on Spotify and jot down that in and find a playlist.
What is your favorite way to take a moment for yourself?
We got here yesterday, and right away I put on my glove.
I have a whole setup and a bucket that has a strap, and I go out.
Yesterday I typed in Italian summer music and had that playing as I was picking berries.
I could have a five-hour conversation about this.
Its my favorite thing.
What do you do with the blackberries?
I actually make a blackberry crumble.
Its one recipe that I know how to make with them.
My mom will freeze them.
I truly continue to go out every day.
I got a whole bucket yesterday, but Ill do the same thing again.
She will freeze them, use them for shakes, and all that.
At the end of my stay here, Ill make a blackberry crumble.
Whats the last Instagram or TikTok rabbit hole that you went down?
This is pretty boring, but house renovation stuff, specifically laundry rooms, because Im in the process.
Laundry room hacks, how to build the perfect laundry room.
Everybody on my timeline is a contractor or a new build owner.
