I think we have a long way to go.

Allure: What kind of makeup are you wearing lately?

I can’t think of a specific product right now, but that’s my go-to.

It’s more of a smear with the finger, like aEuphoriavibe.

[I like] a glossy finish over the face, accentuating the lips.

Allure: Do you have a favorite facial feature?

Lil Nas X accentuates his favorite feature during a photoshoot for his latest YSL Beauty campaign.

LNX: My favorite feature of my face is probably definitely my lips.

They were the parts of my face that I hated the most growing up.

I like to keep a shine on my lips.

I like to keep them moisturized.

Lately, I’ve been trying out the [YSL Beauty] Candy Glaze Lip Gloss.

I think I realized I was hot right along… No, no, no, no, no.

Actually, probably at the very beginning of my fame.

And I’ve always thought I was an attractive person.

Well, at least when I started to grow my facial hair and stuff.

But really around that time when other people would say it to me.

Allure:Has your relationship to the way you look changed since you’ve become famous?

I feel like being here has changed that for me.

And hopefully, it’s changing it for a lot of young people that are watching me.

Allure:What is the most beautiful thing you’ve got the option to think of?

LNX:The most beautiful thing I can think of?

I have two, Zephyr and Sonny.

Allure:Who is the most beautiful person that you know of?

LNX:Most beautiful person?

Outside of myself, I’d probably go with… Who would I go with?

I can’t think of anyone at the top of my head.

There’s a lot of beautiful people out there though.

Allure: How do you smell?

I can say that.

Allure: Do you do any kind of skin care?

LNX:Any kind of skin care?

I get this one a lot.

Well, I think naturally, my skin is just usually pretty well off.

The best beauty advice Ive received from anyone is to limit my soda intake.

When I do drink soda, I like to go with Pineapple Fanta.

That’s my girl.
