Rolling out always enjoys our conversations with the stunning and talented Keri Hilson. So when we bumped into her at the MetroPCS “Evolution” event where the wireless brand launched their new 4G LTE phone, we knew we had to get the goods for you.
After tantalizing the crowd with a short 10-minute performance, Hilson stopped by the red carpet to discuss her feelings about the campaign and also for a little girl chat. Keri gave us the exclusive scoop on her tricks to keeping her skin looking “oh so flawless” as well as maintaining her healthy blonde hair. Check out some of the highlights.
What’s it like to be part of the MetroPCS family?
I think it’s incredible! That is such a huge part of Atlanta culture and I’m just really proud to be here. They’re launching a new phone with Samsung and came and tapped Keri Hilson … I [was] born and raised here, and it just felt good to see my people.
What is your beauty secret to keeping such flawless skin?
A regular facial. Because everything I do is like the antagonist to having nice skin — you know, beautiful, clear skin. But I have to get regular facials, exfoliate, moisturize … you know, all that kind of stuff.
What are the five products you absolutely can’t leave home without?
My Clean and Clear makeup removing cleanser — very important. My Doctor Lancer products; Victoria’s Secret Lotta Colada lip gloss — gotta have it. I actually order it online because they discontinued it. My L’Oreal lipstick and my AVON eye shadows. They actually revamped their color palettes and they’re incredible … beautiful, beautiful colors.
What advice can you offer other women who want to color their hair? How do you maintain your healthy blonde hair?
Moisture, moisture, moisture. That is the key to colored hair, on any woman, not just black women. But you know our hair tends to get a little more dry and brittle as it is. We curl it and do all these things to it … but moisture is definitely the key.
