A biography for Shay Mitchellhasn’t been written yet.
“I work with a cause called the Somaly Mam Foundation, and that is my purpose in life, above anything else. Everything that I do, I'm thinking about girls. As strong as we are, we're also sensitive, and I feel like men take advantage of that.”
“My daily beauty regimen is definitely always in the mornings, and at night, always washing my face with a basic cleanser. I also use a moisturizer with SPF to follow up.”
“Once, I had to clip a jacket back to take a picture, and after they were done I forgot to remove the clip until someone noticed.”
“Take that one thing you don't like about yourself and more often than not that's the one thing that makes you more special. Whether it's that gap in your teeth, or that mole you never liked, or your skin color.”
“I love to use beets as a lip tint. It lasts all day.”
“For my prom I really wanted to wear a bright color - something that was going to pop and stand out.”
“If you can make me laugh, my heart is yours! I think there's nothing more attractive than someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously.”
“I feel so good after a workout. Any time you can be alone with yourself is really important.”
“It didn't take me very long to realize that modeling wasn't very satisfying. I was always asking people, 'How are you going to set up this shot? How will it be lit?' And they'd say, 'Stop. Just pose.' I had a problem with that.”
“But I've met a few fans from across the world who've had my name tattooed on them.”
“I grew up in a predominantly Caucasian community, and most of my friends had blonde hair and blue eyes. So I was always straightening my hair, wearing colored contacts, and I never tanned, if I could help it.”
“I didn't realize how many actresses have tons of extensions. Their hair is still pretty, but it blew my mind to find that out. I admire the girls who switch it up a lot like Rihanna. But I also love Gisele Bundchen because she found a style that works and never changes it.”
“There's nothing worse than seeing someone chewing gum on the red carpet!”
“Being single is not as bad as everyone likes to make it seem!”
“I'd define my everyday style as put together, but also comfortable. A great pair of jeans and a cute top can be so versatile.”
“Personally, I don't really have a set style or look. It's pretty much what I feel like wearing that day, from a floral-print dress and high heels to ripped jeans and army boots.”
“I actually just rock-climbed when I was away on vacation and now I'm searching out rock climbing gyms. That's my new obsession for 2013.”
“I'm more comfortable in heels than I am in sneakers.”
“I like to layer when I fly - the climate always changes from the airport to the plane to the new city.”
“I was dating my first boyfriend in high school for a long time, and we broke up before prom. I hadn't met anyone else that I really wanted to go with, and my friends have always been amazing. So I went with my friends and got a million photos with them!”
