Amber Rose has been getting some really interesting brand-endorsements and modeling gigs lately. Her latest is a collaboration with Flirt Cosmetics, a very mainstream cosmetics company which, surprisingly, isn’t asking Amber to change whatsoever. Amber is actually a pretty good brand ambassador for whatever you want: she gives great interviews, she’s thoughtful, and she’s able to integrate her brand with whichever brand she’s representing. To promote this collaboration, Amber chatted with Allure to talk about makeup and… masturbation. Yay.
Her latest project: I still have no idea why [Flirt Cosmetics] even wanted me! I thought they were going to come in and say, “Hey, can you grow your hair out? Cover your tattoos up?” Instead it was “We love your buzz cut. We love all your tattoos. We love your feminism. We’re obsessed with your SlutWalk.” They embraced me for me. And that’s what makes them extra cool.
Her lash love: I have very small eyes, so lashes open them up. That’s always been my thing. I was super excited when I heard about the amazing eyelash applicator from Flirt.
Her lawbreaking beauty past: Back in Philly, all my friends were wearing dark brown lip liner and lighter brown lipstick. And everybody had their baby hairs, like, plastered down to their forehead. That was the move. We were really poor, and I couldn’t afford the lipstick. So I went into a drugstore and stole one because I had to have it. I stuck it up my sleeve, and I felt really bad—but I did it all in the name of beauty.
Her glowing-skin secret: Masturbation. I wish I had the time to masturbate every day in reality, but I don’t. I say a lot of those things on [The Amber Rose Show] because I am very sex-positive. I do say those things in a way where I am very serious, but it’s also a joke.Her go-to scent: I’ve worn Perry Ellis 360 forever. I was wearing that in Philly, and I still wear it now.
Her red carpet regrets: None. I just don’t give a sh-t. I do what I want. Then I put it out in the universe, and people talk. And then they get over it, you know?
Wouldn’t you love it if other celebrities cited masturbation for their good looks and clear skin? Like, I read those celebrity interviews every day, where some starlet goes “oh, I just drink a lot of water” and “I use so-and-so fancy skin cream.” I want the next starlet to say “I pay a dermatologist thousands of dollars to look like this and I masturbate every day. Boom.” I wonder if there’s actual medical studies to back that up – I mean, I would assume that you would get that release of chemicals from a Big O and you would be happier in general, so… yeah, probably, you would have better skin. Amber is awesome.
