Salma Hayek is featured in the September 2011 issue of Allure Magazine.
In the issue Salma talks living in her 40s:
“As a woman, you should be more at ease with your sexuality when you are in your 40s. You are more self-assured about that part. And that’s the way it should be. If you are a girl who cannot walk in heels, it doesn’t matter how beautiful you are. If you look like a chicken that’s been spiked in the feet, it’s not going to be sexy.”
She also talks growing up and being teased for her looks:
Hayek dealt with insults about her looks when she was young. “I got teased because I was too short, or I was too brown,” she says. (Her complexion is the legacy of her father, a businessman of Lebanese descent.) “You would think in Mexico that would be something normal, but I did get teased,” she says.
She talks her new beauty line & beauty secrets from her grandmother:
I’m [creating this line] with the philosophy that within you there is beauty, and you have to learn how to find it and enhance it in a natural way…. One thing that is exciting about being a woman is that you can rediscover your beauty over and over and over. [My grandmother] started working on my skin when I was 12 or 13. I never used soap on my face. Once, she shaved our heads and put egg on it and all these things. But I have to give her credit—my hair is great.”
Her new animated film Puss in Boots co-stars Antonio Banderas, Zach Galifianakis & Billy Bob Thorton. The film opens in theaters on November 4.
