Camila Mendes and her Riverdale character Veronica Lodge have a lot in common. Though Mendes doesn't spend her time solving the town's mysteries or running an underground casino, she tackles real-life endeavours — namely, representing the Latinx community on the big screen — with the same confidence and vigour.

We sat down with the star to talk about what beauty rituals make her feel most empowered, her thoughts on being cast as a Latina on Riverdale, and what her fans should expect from the show's newest season. Read on to learn more.

Camila Mendes on Products That Make Her Feel Empowered

Mendes considers three beauty products to be particularly empowering: her brow brush, concealer stick, and deodourant. "If I have those, I'm good to go anywhere," she said. More on that below.

Camila Mendes's Go-To Product for Her Brows

The actress explained that she usually brings a brow brush (similar to the one in the Tweezerman Brow Shaping Scissors and Brush Set ($11)) with her wherever she goes, whether it be in her pocket or bag. Her go-to look is fluffed and brushed out, and she only uses eyebrow makeup while on-set or during occasions she is already wearing a full face of makeup. "My brows are pretty dark as it is," she said. "They're black. There's a lot of hair in there so I'm OK with just using my brow brush. I don't really need to fill them in, but I do if I'm going for a bolder makeup look."

Camila Mendes's Secret To Staying Fresh

The newly-minted Secret spokesperson explained how using a deodourant like the new
Secret Invisible Solid with Essential Oils ($12) can be an "empowering" experience. "We don't really appreciate how helpful it could be in terms of making [us] feel confident," she said. "It's one of those things I put on once in the morning, and I'm good to go."
