Zoë Kravitz on Her Beauty Regimen
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/06/f...tm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&_r=0
Zoë Kravitz, 25, the daughter of the singer Lenny Kravitz and the actress Lisa Bonet, has pursued both of her parents professions. Her new projects include a supporting role in the soon-to-be-released Divergent, an action movie based on the first book in a trilogy of young-adult novels by Veronica Roth. Born in the Venice section of Los Angeles, Ms. Kravitz, who is also a member of the rock band Lolawolf, now lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with the kind of luxuriously bohemian beauty regimen common to each neighborhood.
SKIN CARE
My morning and nighttime routines are pretty much the same. My facialist, Dayle Breault, whom Ive been going to since I was 15 my mom and dad go to her, too, which is how I found out about her makes her own line. She has an amazing face wash that I use, or when Im traveling, she has these really great cleansing pads, which are like a toner and cleanser in one. Under the eyes, I use a cream by Dr. Hauschka. Kiehls has an avocado eye cream thats good, too. In the wintertime, I might use Dayles mist afterward, because it keeps your skin moisturized, and I like her serum. Ill add that when it gets so dry here. In the shower, I use Dr. Bronners almond soap. Kiehls has a really great soap, too, that Ill switch to sometimes. Its called Kiehls Aromatic Blends: Vanilla and Cedarwood. Afterward, Ill use coconut oil. Ill use any brand as long as its 100 percent, and its something that Ill pick up at the health-food store. For the most part, everything I use is either by Dayle or its on the natural side. I dont like to put too much on if I dont know what it is. The product is going in your pores every day. Like with coconut oil, you can literally eat it. I also like this company called Simply Divine Botanicals. Their products are organic. They make really great body butters, and they have a face wash I like, too. Ive been using their How Now Brown Cacao butter. It smells like chocolate yummy.
Ms. Kravitz has go-to beauty products she relies on including ones from Dr. Bronner, Kiehls, Wen, Benefit, Dr. Hauschka, Laura Mercier, Simply Divine Botanicals, Tom Ford, Nars and Dayle Breault. Credit Emily Berl for The New York Times
MAKEUP
Day to day, I dont wear a lot of makeup. Dayle makes an SPF thats really great or Laura Mercier has these shimmery tinted moisturizers with SPF. In the summertime, you can put a layer on, and its glowy and pretty.
I do always wear blush, but its like a stain. Ive been wearing the Benefit liquid one its called Benetint since high school. For a while, I was much more into shading, like contour or bronzer, and sometimes in the winter Ill switch to that. My lip balm is by Dr. Hauschka. For mascara, I like what you can get at Duane Reade. Im not picky about brand. I just dont like waterproof mascara because it doesnt come off.
If Im going out at night, Ill do more. I do like a cat eye. Chanel makes this great liquid liner. Thats my favorite thing. Sometimes, Ill do a classic red lip or a dark brown, but its more work to keep it together as the color wanders. For that, Nars has good chubby pencils. I have them in Cruella, a warm red, and a color called Dragon Girl. I like to mix them together. When I first started performing with my band, Lolawolf, I would do more of a look. But its me and two guys who could care less if I was getting dressed up, so now I pretty much do the same as I would anyway. Depending on where my skin is at, I might wear a foundation. I dont like a lot of coverage. Ill dab on Radiant Creamy Concealer by Nars where I need it. And theres something called Lycogel that I discovered when I was shooting in South Africa. I went to a spa and tried it out and liked it. Its not heavy.
FRAGRANCE
I love oils. Right now, I like vanilla musk, which I picked up at Whole Foods. But Ill have others, and I usually mix different scents. Sometimes Ill add a sandalwood. Im also really into a Tom Ford cologne called Tobacco Vanille. It probably can be unisex. It works on both men and women. Also, recently this woman was wearing Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, which is more masculine, and it smelled incredible.
HAIR
I have a woman, Nikki Nelms, who comes to my house and cuts my hair. I met her at a W magazine shoot about two years ago. Shes really adventurous and comes up with ideas for me for events and stuff like that. This is my natural hair color right now. I colored it a couple years ago and it was kind of blond. It looked really cool, but my hair couldnt handle it.
Otherwise, I use Wen products to wash my hair. The shampoo is really a conditioner and shampoo in one. Its especially for African-American hair because it doesnt strip it of all the oils. My mom introduced it to me. Ive always had her there for good beauty advice. Were both beauty fans. My friends are always laughing at her and me because were like witches with our potions and bottles and things.
TREATMENTS
Where I really spoil myself is my facials with Dayle. Shes between L.A. and New York, and I try to go as often as I can. Her facials have also become my go-to gifts for girlfriends. My theory is, when your skin is good, you can be confident and you dont have to wear makeup.
DIET AND FITNESS
Im a big fan of juice and health and all that stuff. Thats where beauty starts. I make sure that Im eating well.
Usually for a film, Ill have to hit a gym. Although in the winter in New York, it can be tough to go out of the house. I go through phases. Right now, I really like the Ballet Beautiful at-home videos. I havent been to an actual class of theirs in ages, but Ill travel with the videos, and you can do it anywhere. I do try to fit in cardio. In the summertime, Ill run in the park or something, and in the winter, its the gym. I also walk everywhere. Thank God for New York because I probably spend 80 percent of my time walking, from going up and down stairs to catching the subway.
He couldn't be my stepdad....just no way. That is FAR too much temptation!
Zoe kinda annoys me. I feel like she thinks she's cooler than she actually is.

Zoe Kravitz Girl Crush: She's like your real BFF... only famous
http://www.sheknows.com/entertainme...tz-shares-details-bloody-injury-divergent-set
With the mega-success of The Hunger Games franchise, it seems certain that other books-turned-films will follow suit, catapulting their stars into the limelight. And the Divergent series, based on the wildly popular young adult book trilogy by Veronica Roth, is shaping up to be the next big adaptation.
Our March Girl Crush, Zoë Kravitz, nabbed the coveted role of Christina in Summit Entertainment's take on the first installment. Yet the down-to-earth actress shrugs off the idea that she could become a household name after the movie's March 21 release.
Kravitz is just "excited to be a part" of the much-anticipated franchise. "I think it's a really awesome story, and I think it's really nice to see something that's made for young adults that is empowering and encouraging and complex," she elaborated.
On tough girl stuff
This isn't Kravitz's first foray as a bada** femme fatale. In 2011, she starred as X-Men: First Class' stripper/flying mutant Angel Salvadore, and she recently wrapped production on Mad Max: Fury Road. When we ask her if she has any cool scars from doing her own stunts, Kravitz at first can only recall "a few cuts and things" from other films she worked on.
Then something dawns on her. "Oh wait! That's a total lie what am I talking about?!" she said, gesturing to a (nearly imperceptible to us) mark. "I have this giant scar. Can you see it?"
She sets the scene by telling us it was the last day of shooting, and she and co-star Shailene Woodley were eating lunch at Woodley's trailer. "Chicago what do they call it? The Windy City!" she said, joking about a gust that caused Woodley's trailer door to blow shut.
"I'm sitting there and all of a sudden, I'm like, 'Hey! (makes crashing noise) And the door just slams closed on my face, and I just feel blood start coming down."
After a brief moment of panic on her part, Kravitz let co-star "Theo [James], being like the gentleman that he is" come to her rescue. After making her lie down and put ice on the wound, he broke the silence. "He was like, 'Do you want to see it, or do you not want to see it?'" she said, imitating his voice. "'It's not that bad, but it's kind of bad.'" The whole debacle ended with a trip to the hospital, where Kravitz got eight stitches across her nose.
On industry pals
With such a hunky man of chivalry on set, we wondered, did Kravitz find it hard to concentrate?
"No, no Theo's like my brother," she stated. "He's very, very funny, which I think is funny that people don't really know because he's so serious in the movie total heartthrob. But he's just very funny and very kind and very approachable."
James isn't the only other entertainer she admires. Kravitz cites esteemed actresses like Meryl Streep, Helena Bonham Carter and Cate Blanchett as role models.
And, we presume, her very dear friend, Jennifer Lawrence. Since the two are now both starring as ballsy chicks in their respective blockbusters, we wanted to know who would win in real life if Kravitz and Lawrence were to battle.
"Her, absolutely!" Kravitz exclaims. "That woman is strong and tall. Yeah, she would definitely win. I would cheat, though. I would, you know, like, bite or something totally dirty."
On what's in store
When asked if she's an adrenaline junkie, the actress doesn't dispute the idea. "I think we probably all are, you know? I mean, I get scared every time I go on stage; I get scared every time I start a project. It's like it's vulnerable. You wanna do a good job and you wanna be honest, so I just think that's a good sign when you get nervous before starting any kind of project."
And projects are plentiful for this 25-year-old.
In addition to several films in the works, Kravitz stays busy with her band, Lolawolf, and is optimistic about the idea of touring with them.
So while you might see her on the big screen in Divergent or, if we're lucky, onstage with Lolawolf, there's one place you won't be seeing Kravtiz anytime soon: social media, which she says "freaks me out, man freaks me out."
And even though she doesn't believe in social media, she does like the factions in Divergent have strong beliefs. "I believe in women's rights," she said. "I believe in peace. I believe in avocados. I believe in freedom of speech. I believe in fairies. I believe in a lot of things!"
She also believes in making a name for herself, which she's doing a pretty bang-up job of at the moment. She doesn't even mind the expectations attached to being the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet.
"It made me stronger, I think. It made me work harder," she revealed. "But no, I think there's only as much pressure as you allow there to be. I'm very proud to be in that family."

Her father Lenny Kravitz is known for experimenting with the elements of rock, soul, funk and reggae as he created his own distinct sound.
But it looks like Zoe Kravitz is following in her dad's footsteps by experimenting with her own fashion.
The 25-year-old actress rocked a rather daring ensemble on a recent appearance on the show 106 & Park at the BET Studio in New York.
