Lupita N’yong’o was born in Mexico and raised in Kenya. She told People Magazine that her early views of beauty were swayed by what she saw on television. “Light skin and long, flowing straight hair,” she said. “Subconsciously you start to appreciate those things more than what you possess.” Lupita mentions that her mother Dorothy “always said I was beautiful, and I finally believed her at some point.” People Magazine asked Lupita, What is the best beauty compliment the stunning starlet has ever received? “When I have been called beautiful with not one drop of makeup on,” she told the mag.
