Kimora Lee Simmons Just Keeps Getting More Fabulous

What’s your favorite throwback beauty trend?

Lower lashes. Even though I didn’t do it, I like it. Another one I love is a glossy lip, but the liner is a little bit darker. Kind of Lil’ Kim, kind of like Sophia Loren, it’s just a little bit darker around the lip line. It’s very ’90s/’00s.

What’s the most expensive product or treatment you love? 

One indulgent thing I love is a Korean scrub. I go to a spa in Beverly Hills called Pellequr, and they do a high-end Korean scrub in your own individual marble room, with Vichy showers. It’s so luxe. And I’m Asian, so it’s my heritage. 

What about the cheapest?

Vaseline. I use it on my lips, my eyelids, on my elbows, on my heels with socks. You can use it on chapped cuticles, for split ends in your hair, just a very, very little. It’s a pageant queen staple. And you can use it for pool photos. Also, a little bit on your teeth will go a long way for your smile.

What’s your go-to getting-ready music?

Drake and Post Malone.

What have you been doing for self-care during the pandemic?

I’ve been using a lot of CBD oil for relaxation and inflammation all over my body, like for aches and pains. And I have a little CBD pen, also from Pellequr, that’s super-cute. I think self-care comes in a lot of ways, whether it’s beauty treatments and rituals like spa treatments, working out, going to the gym, having a hot bubble bath, having wine on the balcony…but we can’t go too far! We have families, we all have people in the household crammed in there, so you have to steal away your moment. A little meditation helps.

Do you mediate every day?

I try. We do a lot of yoga, working out, meditation, and a ballet bar. That’s sort of what the girls and I have been focusing on. A little gym time. All of that is self-care.

What’s your favorite emoji?

I like the double hearts 💕, the kiss 💋, and the money bag 💰. 

What’s the last Instagram hole you went down?

Oh, good question. I just looked at what I last searched, and I don’t even recognize this page. But right at the top it says “well-being guide” and underneath it are things like back to school, mental health, and managing anxiety. 

Who are women who are inspiring you most right now? 

Kamala Harris. I think she’s leading a group of young people at a time where it’s very important to use your voice. And that’s most important. It doesn’t matter if you’re left or right, up or down—everyone should be seen and heard; everyone should have that right. When I think of her, I think of how she’s speaking to young people as a political movement. It doesn’t matter what you like or what you believe in—go for what you want, but use your voice. You have that, and as young people, particularly young women, you haven’t always had that right, so use it.
