Maybelline just made I-Hua Wu their first Asian to represent the brand in ads worldwide.
The huge accomplishment comes at a time when the beauty and fashion industry are becoming more diverse than ever. Born and raised in Tainan, Taiwan the beauty talked to New York Magazine about her new role, upbringing and important lessons she’s learned on the way up.
And we gotta say, this chick is refreshingly honest. Read a few gems from the interview, below!
On what modeling taught you: “Well, it’s funny now — some of my old classmates who used to make fun of me say they were good friends of mine. But apart from this, it’s helped me to build up a lot of confidence. Before, I used to be more shy and afraid of people. If there were a lot of people, I wouldn’t go up and talk to anyone. I wouldn’t even leave the house by myself. I would have to go with someone.”
On being pretty: “My face is so familiar to me that it feels like nothing special. Even now, my boyfriend will say things to me like, ‘Do you know how pretty you are?’ I’m like, ‘You’re so weird. You see me all the time and you still think this?’ I really don’t understand. I know I’m not terrible-looking, but I don’t think I’m as great as everyone seems to say.”
On being pressured as a model: “Once a makeup artist on a shoot said in front of me that I needed to learn how to wear clothes and change. I went home and cried. So I would add that, with modeling, the biggest thing I’ve learned is to endure people’s criticisms. People often say things in front of your face that aren’t good. Like once on a job, someone said if I didn’t perform on the next look, they would release me. It gave me so much pressure! But no matter what job you’re doing, you have to learn how to continue persevering even if someone is saying something you don’t want to hear. You’re still there to do a job, and you should try not to let it affect you.”

Not everyone can be a winner. Detroit native and hip-hop sensation 42 Dugg is back with a fiery new single, Win Wit Us. The track, a precursor to his highly anticipated album 4eva Us, Neva Them, showcases Dugg’s signature style and lyrical prowess.
