you're either shallow or you're just
trying to copy my answer something to me
[Music]
yo what's up vogue this asap rocky here
and i'm going face to face with rihanna
today
ring ring ring ring what's up riri
what's up rocky how are you i'm
good how are you doing i got a couple
questions for you from both
what's the first thing you notice in
somebody when you see it for the first
time like what's the first thing you
look for
the first thing you see is someone's
face unless you're looking at their
shoes
i usually tend to look at their skin
their teeth
their smile and then
after that it's more about like what
whatever energy they're
they're giving off that's really really
important because all of that
prettiness could go to if
if your demeanor is like whack most
fellas not myself but most fellas
look at the ass you feel me but you know
skin is definitely one of them the good
news is
you know ass has skin
thank you guys noticing our skin
how would you describe your skin my skin
type is
um just as complicated as
men are you know yeah he wasn't ready
for that because y'all always try to say
women are complicated is y'all
i have gone through many skincare
changes within my journey
started from acne for sure all the way
to
sensitivity and melasma
and being a black woman with
not knowing i need to use spf i've
learned a lot so
what is your skin type handsome
what's your favorite curse word it means
so much
in four letters you mean like like
like you know i just like dropped my you
know my class of juice or like
yeah it could mean that could also
mean that
true but i like better uh yes
what's your favorite item that you
purchased for less than twenty dollars
my last favorite purchase under twenty
dollars was definitely
a diffuser for my essential oils
that's funny because you're a guy but
that means a lot
to us that's what's up
yo hot sauce high tops for me jacket on
umbrella
this is a tricky question because
my fans might feel like i'm a hypocrite
i've made the most money off of the sun
column
jacket next
who's your number one beauty icon this
is gonna sound
very redundant and very cliche but my
mother
my entire concept of beauty
came from her i was always so intrigued
by her
i wanted to dress like her i wanted to
look like her i wouldn't do my hair like
her do my makeup like her
she was a still skirt for
beauty products and perfume and
makeup it's so weird that it it's come
full circle that
all of these ventures are things that
i've um
i've extended my creativity too and uh
has been a part of my brand
overall so i learned from the best
you know i had the best teacher my mom
yo what's the one part of the beauty
industry you wish you could change
i wish that the leaders of the beauty
industry
were a more diverse um
set of pioneers who have
not just experienced the culture but
have experienced um
a negligence in the industry whether it
comes to their skin tone or skin type
i feel like there's so
there's so many voids to be filled and
we will only know that by
the pioneers that have experienced those
voids and
and the lack of their representation in
the industry
and so i think by having an eclectic
array of skin type skin tones different
cultures and people
and representations of religions and
cultures
you would have the most information on
where to go next
what was the hardest part about working
with me on fenty skin
i can tell you what that is not laughing
the whole time
the hardest part of working with you
for fancy skin was getting your approval
on your images
because your skin is pretty regardless
we that's why we hired you you know what
i'm saying
they're like i can't pick
which one of my pores are smaller and
which
image
i'm just playing but yeah it's not hard
working with you
hey yo what was your first red carpet
look can you remember that
young dumb skinny and
the inspiration for my future and my
evolution
this had to change it's crazy
so what's next what's your favorite look
of mine oh you know what i
really love those like bell bottom
capris
with the bunny ear scully yeah oh
good looking i love that outfit so much
like i always
i could wear that like as a girl but i
can't oh yeah you would just have
this out yeah
that outfit for sure is one of my
favorites it's so fun it's so
it's so corky and weirdo and you
what's your favorite color to wear and
the black lip brown
gray but i really really love light
green
lime green could be for anything makeup
nails
hair outfits different fabrics different
pieces of furniture i love lime green
no i can't front lime green go with
everything like i love that
all right what's your favorite show to
binge watch when you at home like like
right now
oh my god this is going to probably be
really embarrassing
let the people know we want to know no
but i don't know what's my favorite but
usually it starts with
the real housewives of everything
the real housewives of everything huh
nice
how do you stay mentally and
inspirationally
alive that's a good one being mentally
and inspirationally aligned
i mean it calls for two different sides
of my brain
and my my spirit um because one is
a lot more logical one is a lot of like
talking myself into whatever i
i want to feel or whatever i want to
evoke um inspirationally it's me
what i'm pulling in it's like what do i
want to
bring in to my spirit my mind my logic
my being my ideas my creative space
that's where the inspiration goes i i
want i want that to come in
and in a way it comes in one way
and it's evoked through my art in
another way and
and that could be inspiration for
someone else in the future
and so it's kind of just those two
things are kind of the yin and the yang
and the core of who i
am as an artist
that's a dope ass question i've never
been asked that that's weird i love
this question i feel like i just found
myself
what do you wish people were talking
more about in the beauty industry the
topic of inclusivity has become
something that
like our brand has like fallen upon
just by sincere and organic perspective
like my my idea of beauty has always
been like
a black woman so the way that i've
expanded the idea was
doing skin care in a more gender
neutral idea where men feel included as
well because
men love their skin
and they take care of it but they feel
obligated almost to only
use products that are or for men
because anything beyond that seems like
it's just too feminine it's not
for them they're not allowed they don't
have permission
and you came from the hood but you
pretty
and you like your fashion but like you
represent
a lot of
male criterias which
they don't really allow themselves to
be until they see their representation
and
you've represented a lot of those men
for me
big deal for me to have you be a part of
that pleasure is all mine i want to say
thank you for
you know supporting me at a time when i
just came home from jail thank you for
identifying my
beauty as a man you know what i'm saying

like the real pharrell you know not only
that thank you for
answering a lot of questions that i
didn't really know
