Karrueche Tran

“I'm fortunate enough to take care of my family and provide for them, and that motivates me to keep going.”

“I hit a brick wall one day, and I spent a lot of time by myself learning about me and who I am and what I want and don't want.”

“I'm from L.A. So I move around how I want to move, you know what I'm saying?”

“My main message is for people to live your life through love. That doesn't necessarily mean through a relationship. It could be your friends, your family, your workplace, even just walking down the street and smiling, saying 'Hi!' Embracing positivity!”

“It benefits us all to motivate others.”

“I wash my face, steam it, and put on a mask right after because the steam opens up your pores. I put the mask on for ten minutes, wash it off, and then melt an ice cube all over my face because that tightens your pores. Then if it's nighttime, I do a night cream or serum or an oil, something to keep your skin moisturized.”

“I walk out the house, and there's paparazzi. There's certain things I can't do if I wanted to date or go on a date. It's like, I have to worry about people taking pictures, and it's crazy.”

“I get really puffy eyes, so I'm all about a good puffy-eye mask.”

“My father is gay.”

“I think marriage scares a lot of men.”

“I'm Vietnamese and Chinese, and I am the year of the dragon in the Chinese zodiac.”

“I'm not about the drama.”

“I'm a workaholic, but I also like to vacation.”

“It's a huge turnoff when men have teeth that look like they haven't been brushed in days. Also, bad breath is awful.”

“I love using Mario Badescu Facial Spray while traveling. Sometimes the air circulation on the plane makes my face dry, so it keeps me refreshed and hydrated.”

“In elementary school, I identified more with my Asian side. I had a lot of Korean friends, and then, once middle school hit, it was a little more diverse.”

“I want to stress to people to be themselves instead of trying to be like others.”

“I've been through a lot, and I've been called a lot of names.”

“I see a lot of girls whose concealer is way too light, or their foundation is way too dark, or I can see when their neck and face color don't match. I think it's very important to find the right foundation and concealers and the right brands that really complement your skin.”

“In the morning, I might have fruit or maybe oatmeal at home, or a bagel with coffee.”
