Why Hilary Duff Loves to Shave Her Nose
To say Hilary Duff has a lot on her plate would be an understatement. The 31-year-old just wrapped the sixth season of Younger on TV Land (and a seventh is already in the works); she’s starring in the upcoming Lizzie McGuire reboot; and, oh yeah, she’s a mom to two young kids. Duff has opened up in the past about how motherhood has changed her life. She told Today a few years back that she’s now “always worrying.”
One of her growing concerns? Like many, Duff is making it her personal mission to be more green. Because of the very real issues regarding climate change, yes, but also because of her children, Banks and Luca. “We owe it to our kids [to recycle] because this planet is going to be their future and their home,” Duff tells Glamour. “Our impact is going to make a difference for their future.”
Duff’s passion for recycling is why she recently partnered with Walmart and Unilever, the parent company to brands including Dove and Love Beauty And Planet, to launch “Bring It to the Bin.” The aim of the program, Duff says, is to make recycling easy and accessible, especially for busy moms who are being pulled in a million directions, which she knows from experience.
Everything she does these days is on a tight schedule, including her beauty regimen. “My routine has gotten so short, I can literally do my hair and makeup in 10 minutes,” she says. The same goes for answering our Big Beauty Questions. We caught up with the actress to have her run through our rapid-fire questionnaire and talk more about how she’s cleaning up her routine.
Glamour: What’s one beauty trend you love but would never try?
Hilary Duff: Colored lipsticks. A really different-colored lipstick, like a blue. You see it in the magazines, and I feel like it’s very runway or great for editorial, but maybe you couldn’t pull it off in real life. But I think it would be really fun.
Do you have any beauty regrets?
I went through a phase where I basically had jet-black eyebrows—and still as a blond. Jet-black eyebrows! I love a big brow. I live for a big brow, but now the tone of my brows is a little more toward my hair color.
