Shay Mitchell Shares Her Makeup Secrets and Her Collaboration with Smashbox

Glamour: OK, we’d also love to play a quick round of "this or that" with you. You ready?

SM: Definitely.

Glamour: Smoky eye or cat eye?

SM: Smoky eye, because I can do it. It’s a lot easier. I think you can have fun with it during the day when you do a soft brown smoky eye and then you can still wear it when you're going out at night.

Glamour: Contour or highlight?

SM: Contouring. I just think it really gives your face definition. If I haven’t hit the gym in a couple weeks, I'll contour a little bit. You won’t know the difference.

Glamour: No-makeup makeup or completely bare face?

SM: No-makeup makeup is much preferred. I think there’s nothing wrong with covering a little under eye. I don’t get a lot of sleep so I put highlighter under my eyes every once in a while—ahem—every day.

Glamour: Pore strips or face scrub?

SM: Pore strips, definitely, they are my go-to especially with all the makeup that I wear. I’ve always been fascinated with what comes out of your pores after you take them off. Who hasn’t? It's so fun to take it off and try and find the little guys.

Glamour: Massive suitcase or tiny carry-on?

SM: I take five massive suitcases because, why not? And then I have my whole closet with me to choose from. I have a whole suitcase for my beauty products because I like to have all my different eyeshadows in case I want to do a smoky look on the beach one day.

Glamour: Shower at night or shower in the morning?

SM: I shower at night since I like to shower before I get into bed. And then I like to shower in the morning. I like to shower both at night and in the morning.

Glamour: So you shower, go to sleep, and then shower again?

SM: Absolutely, that is my routine. Yep!
