Emma Stone Would Make a Great Beauty Editor
- 1/9
On mortality and beauty: One time, Stone was doing a press event for a Revlon mascara launch and instead of sharing her application tips she ended up talking about the infamous catacombs in Paris instead: “Everyone at the table, all these 25-year-old women who worked at beauty websites, were just jaws-open horrified,” Stone told the WSJ. “But it’s true! We’re all going to die, and we’re not going to have faces anymore. So do what you want with your face, because it will be a skull pretty soon.”

On why she passed on the new “Ghostbusters” movie: “The script was really funny. It just didn’t feel like the right time for me. A franchise is a big commitment—it’s a whole thing. I think maybe I need a minute before I dive back into that water.”

On her relationship: “It’s so special to me that it never feels good to talk about, so I just continually don’t talk about it.”

On anxiety and confidence: Growing up in Scottsdale, Arizona, Stone suffered from recurring acne, anxiety, panic attacks. Acting actually helped her learn to focus on the moment: “The first time I had a panic attack I was sitting in my friend’s house, and I thought the house was burning down. I called my mom and she brought me home, and for the next three years it just would not stop. I would go to the nurse at lunch most days and just wring my hands. I would ask my mom to tell me exactly how the day was going to be, then ask again 30 seconds later. I just needed to know that no one was going to die and nothing was going to change.”

On DIY skincare: The actress has late-night online shopping amnesia (us too!) and makes her own skin products—or at least, like many of us who spend too much time on Pinterest, she’s tried: “There was a point during Cabaret that I was on steroids for like a week because my voice kept going out, and you can’t sleep on steroids, so one night I was up at 3 a.m., and I must have read some article about how to make your own body lotion, because three days later all these boxes from Amazon showed up. I had ordered so much.”

On how she selects roles: "Recently I’m starting to enjoy having experiences that I wouldn’t allow myself to have in real life—like Sally onstage, and the kind of mental breakdown she goes through.”

What director Woody Allen thinks of Stone: “I think Emma has the potential to be one of the biggest female stars for years.”
- 8/9
At this point, we’re very familiar with the naturally blonde Stone’s deceivingly ginger hair, but the tousled wavy bob is a low-maintenance version of the Old Hollywood waves she’s been rocking on the red carpet for years.

The Revlon spokesmodel is well known for pulling off every single lip color imaginable, from bright reds to deep purples. The entire shoot is boho-beach, especially since it was on location in Malibu, so it’s only fitting that Stone rocked a coral-orange lip shade.
