This month, we sat down with Camila Cabello. The 29-year-old singer-songwriter has just been announced as Tommy Hilfiger‘s latest global ambassador and the face of the brand’s newest fragrance, Freedom. The launch marks a fresh chapter for Tommy Hilfiger fragrance, and we asked the star to share more about her exciting new venture.

Below, Camila talks go-to makeup products, her best beauty advice and, of course, her signature scent.

1. Which beauty product gives you the biggest mood boost?
I will say fragrance. Before I go to a big event, [I wear] Tommy Hilfiger Freedom. I don’t really wear perfume, so if I’m going out, it makes me feel like, “oooh, this is special.”

2. If you could steal someone else’s makeup bag, whose would it be?
I think I’m going to say Dua Lipa!

3. You’ve got a spot. Are you team pop it or team leave it alone?
If it’s yellow, pop it!

4. You only have one product to use for the rest of your life—what is it?
Probably conditioner. I’m really into the Amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask right now.

5. What’s the best piece of beauty advice that you have ever received?
Drink water. It makes such a big difference to everything, which is so annoying because I hate having to go to the bathroom.

6. What’s your signature fragrance?
Tommy Hilfiger Freedom, for sure. I love vanilla, so I love that about it. It’s fresh, and it’s not too intense!

7. Strong lip or a strong eye?
A strong eye. I’m definitely a strong-eye girl. I like a smoky eye, but I honestly do it less and less. I’m into a more natural bronzy brown.

8. You’re having your nails done. What’s your go-to colour?
I do a nude with chrome on top.

9. What’s your favourite lipstick colour?
I like the Mary Phillips lip liner. I like anything close to my natural lip colour. I love a lip tint. I love the Sacheu one.
