She recently moved into a new home surrounded by nature-inspired decor, as she tellsAllureover Zoom.
(Her username, on which, is Nicholas Cage, by the way.)

She points out Orchid, a matte fuchsia, and Flora, a shimmery magenta.
“I wanted it to feel like we’re in the wild,” Doja explains.

Long before she started calling herself Doja Cat, the singer was fixated on her very own color expedition.
Coincidentally enough, she bought her firstrainbow eye shadow palettefrom BH Cosmetics when she was 14.
For years, Doja felt like she was cursed to never figure out how to nail the technique.

“I really wanted to see that happen when people got these products,” she says.
I can personally attest to how easy it is to put together a single-color eye makeup moment.

All of the shadows packed just the pigmentation I wanted with one swipe and minimal blending needed.

“She concepted, hand-tested, and approved every single product.

Doja also tries to limit the tiny designs she features on her face for performances.
“They feel kind of pointless because they don’t register.”
“Your face is a notebook,” she says.
“It’s damn college notebook paper, and you just doodle all over it.”
Doja now does the same on her face.
“She’ll take a traditional product and give it a whole new purpose on the face.”
“I want to give people a pass to experiment, be different, and have fun.”
