When I was younger, it was harder for me to find a black eyeliner that would actually show up on my skin. Being a dark-skinned woman, when you find something that actually shows up on your face, you love it even more.

I wear black all the time.

On 'Black-ish,' I like my makeup to be really natural - so much that I can do it myself. My character is a mother of four and a doctor and a wife, who would not have time to be putting on eyeshadow or curling her lashes.

When I'm doing my own makeup, I just stick to a bit of black liner, some blush and a nude glossy lip.

Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and white... to highlight that contrast.

I think I look better in darker clothes. And maybe the fact that I wear black so much makes me more aware of putting people at ease.

I think people look great in black. I love that what stands out is the person, especially. Black just conveys a kind of drama, even if it can be quiet drama. It does lend to the wearer a sense of confidence.

I'm a multi-faceted woman and person, like all women are - there's no black and white. We have shades of grey in the middle. And even many more colours that other people don't see!

I like the way black looks. I think I look better in darker clothes. And maybe the fact that I wear black so much makes me more aware of putting people at ease. The black is sort of the bad-guy guise, so I work overtime to make people comfortable.

In my own life, when I'm not working, I do wear a lot of black. I think I do feel very comfortable in black.
