On the one hand, Chloë Grace Moretz is like many girls her age: She stresses over acne, works out to Missy and Britney, and occasionally sleeps until noon. On the other, she couldn’t be more different: She’s had a makeup artist since she started acting at age six, she gets advice from Hillary Clinton, and she has 55 movies under her belt. The 19-year-old actress and face of Coach the Fragrance shares the lessons she’s learned growing up in the spotlight.
On her biggest beauty challenge:
I dealt with really bad cystic acne growing up. I tried changing my diet and my beauty products before going on Accutane. [Having acne problems] was a long, hard, emotional process.
On an unorthodox skin-cleansing regimen:
I wash my face with olive oil. I swear my skin is so much clearer because of it.

On sweating herself Zen:
SoulCycle, Pilates, and high-intensity interval training are my form of relaxation. Working out is my chance to be by myself and do my own thing and get my energy out, and it keeps my mind pretty clear.
On the downside of perfection:
Everyone needs to figure out their own angles, lighting, and the perfect reach for a good selfie. The problem with Facetune and all of these other apps is that it’s just another way to cover up who you really are. It allows you to fulfill the dark, twisted sides of yourself where you don’t feel adequate enough. You go on these apps and make yourself almost perfect, but it’s fake and leads to unrealistic expectations.

On the feature she’d never change:
Over the years, makeup artists have wanted to pluck my eyebrows, but I wouldn’t let them touch them, because I’ve learned from others’ mistakes.
On her secret to beachy waves:
I’ll curl my hair, then sleep on it. I also don’t wash my hair very much. You want your natural oils to come through.

On her unexpected vice:
I’ve seen The Little Mermaid, I’m not kidding, over a hundred times. I’ve watched Pocahontas a hundred times, Mulan a hundred times. I watch Disney-princess movies like nobody’s business.
On storytelling:
My latest tattoo is the number 4,419 on my hip. It’s the 4,419 miles that I drove cross-country when I turned 18. It represents coming of age. I have my grandmother’s signature on my back, along with a rose and a cross; my family’s initials on my thigh; the letters CK on my ankle [she and best friend Kathryn both have it]; a color spectrum on my hip for LGBTQ pride [two of Moretz’s four brothers are gay]; and the print of my sister’s feet—who passed away when she was, like, two days old—on my ankle.
On the thing she most regrets:
I like staying up late, and then I regret it every morning. I have to set three or four alarms to make sure if I have an appointment. I’d sleep till the middle of the afternoon every day if I could.

On what Hillary Clinton said to her:
She’s told me she’s proud of how feisty I am and to not be afraid to speak my mind or to cause a bit of a wake.
On life-changing advice from her mother:
I’m five foot five and broad-shouldered and have a short waist. I’ve had movie [producers] tell me I need to wear push-up bras or that I don’t have a pronounced enough jaw. When I was younger, I really took it to heart. But one day my mom said, ‘Chloë, you’ve gotta stop picking your body apart because that’s what makes you beautiful, that’s what makes you my daughter.’ I realized she was right. I don’t want to be a clone of everyone else. I like being me.
