Zoe Kravitz is the face of Vera Wang's new scent Preppy Princess. The actress, singer and model is the daughter of singer Lenny and actress Lisa Bonet (she played Denise Huxtable in The Cosby Show). We caught up with Zoe to talk all things beauty.

What is it like to be the face of the Vera Wang Princess fragrances?

It’s a huge honour. Vera herself approached me to be a part of her campaign and I was excited because I have always loved her classic taste and I dig her eye for style. She is a magic maker.

Are there any perfumes you have fond memories of from when you were young?

I think fragrance has the ability to bring you back to moments you shared with loved ones. A lot of scents, particularly the way different seasons smell, remind me of special times in my life.

What’s in your make-up bag?

I wear blush everyday, and I use anything that’s simple and natural, like vitamin E for my lips.

Which skincare products do you swear by?

Instead of body lotion, I use coconut oil. It makes my skin so soft, plus it smells amazing.

Have you learned any valuable beauty tips working with make-up artists on films or shoots?

I like to keep it simple, I recently learned how to master liquid eyeliner which was fun!

Do you have any favourite spas or salons?

I love Dayle Breault – she gives amazing facials!(Read more about Dayle at her website - goddessofskin.com)

Who is your beauty icon?

Probably my mom. And right now I am digging Helena Bonham Carter – I think everything about her is the coolest. She doesn’t take herself too seriously.

How do you stay fit and healthy?

I just spent four months in London where I did circuit training at a gym in Kensington to prepare for X-Men. It felt great to have a reason to be active everyday.

Preppy Princess, £45.96 for 50ml, is out now.
