The ‘Riverdale’ actress, who was recently named one of the Urban Decay’s newest Global Citizens, has been experimenting with make-up since her teenage years and loves to try out new products.

The television actor and social media phenomenon bought a nearly $1.9 million (about R32 million) home in Los Angeles that’s just an easy trek to the bright lights of Hollywood last month.

“I started experimenting with make-up in junior high from watching my older sister do her make-up before school every day. I fell in love with it as a form of self-expression. It’s inherently playful and exciting. Applying make-up can be such an indulgent experience of self-discovery, and I love the whole process of feeling out my mood and assessing the look I want to achieve in that moment,” she tells Elle Australia.

The star also expressed her love for eye make-up and confessed she enjoys experimenting with eyeshadow. “I’m definitely an eye person – playing with eyeshadow is so entertaining. You get to experiment with multiple shades at once and see how beautifully they can all blend together,” says Camilla.
