Talking Beauty With Constance WU

The star of Crazy Rich Asians is confident. She’s outspoken. And when she’s confronted with outdated beauty standards? Well, you’ll see....

“I don’t like how my skin looks when it’s powdered,” says Wu. “I prefer dewy skin over matte.” Her favorite base: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (right).

My small breasts don’t bother me. In fact, I love them. But I didn’t always feel that way. I grew up at a time when people said, “Real women have curves.” But I didn’t have curves. Did that mean I wasn’t a real woman? I couldn’t look up to models, either, because they were tall and waifish. I’m short, and I’ve always had a soft belly. So in high school, in an effort to be a “real” woman, I started wearing padded bras.
