Lil Nas X Says Fame Made Him Realize He’s Hot

Allure: What kind of makeup are you wearing lately?

LNX: I’m not a super huge makeup girl, but I like to put some shine or glitter around my eyes. I can’t think of a specific product right now, but that’s my go-to. It’s more of a smear with the finger, like a Euphoria vibe. [I like] a glossy finish over the face, accentuating the lips.

Allure: Do you have a favorite facial feature?

LNX: My favorite feature of my face is probably definitely my lips. They were the parts of my face that I hated the most growing up. And as I grew up into my teen years, I learned more and more to love them and how great it is to have them. I like to keep a shine on my lips. I like to keep them moisturized. Lately, I’ve been trying out the [YSL Beauty] Candy Glaze Lip Gloss.

Allure: Do you consider yourself to be a hot person?

LNX: Absolutely. I think I realized I was hot right along… No, no, no, no, no. Actually, probably at the very beginning of my fame. And I’ve always thought I was an attractive person. Well, at least when I started to grow my facial hair and stuff. But really around that time when other people would say it to me.

Allure: Has your relationship to the way you look changed since you’ve become famous?

LNX: Absolutely. For one, I feel like I am at the absolute peak of my self love right now, in terms of loving how I am, accepting how I look, and also just seeing the beauty in myself. Growing up, I didn’t see many people like me being considered beautiful or handsome and whatnot, and able to be in certain spaces and places that I am now. I feel like being here has changed that for me. And hopefully, it’s changing it for a lot of young people that are watching me.
