Mila Kunis Talks Motherhood, Makeup, Marriage and New Movie
Before marrying, former costars Kunis and Kutcher had "full friendship breakups"
— -- Mila Kunis has always been one to tell it like it is. Keeping in line with this signature candidness, the 32-year-old appears sans makeup in the August issue of Glamour magazine, hitting newsstands July 12.
In a Q&A with the magazine, the actress touched on everything from her husband and children, to her upcoming film "Bad Moms," to Donald Trump, to photo touch-ups. And, as per usual, on every topic, she kept it real.
Though in full makeup for the cover photo and a spread inside the magazine, the shot used for the back cover shows Kunis with nothing but skin serum, eye cream and some lip balm.
“I don’t wear makeup,” the 32-year-old and mother of one (soon-to-be two) told Glamour. “I don’t wash my hair every day. It’s not something that I associate with myself.”
The actress, continuing her emphasis on going au naturel, then addressed image manipulation. “I absolutely hate it,” she said. “Now, do I sometimes want them to depuff my eyes? Help me out with a little bit of lighting. But do I want them to stretch my legs, thin out my waist, curve my hips, elongate my neck, blah, blah, blah? No.”
And Kunis seems to approach the areas of marriage and motherhood with the same openness and honesty. The mother of 1-year-old Wyatt announced recently that she and husband Ashton Kutcher are expecting again. But nearly 22 months into the mom role, the actress has come to a few realizations -- most of which revolve around her daughter’s independence and energy.
“I didn’t teach [Wyatt] to be sweet. It has nothing to do with me. I’ve realized you can control only so much,” she said.
Of her partner-in-crime in raising Wyatt and former "That '70s Show" costar, Kunis said she really did marry her best friend, explaining that after knowing Kutcher for so long, there’s nothing the two don’t know about each other. She did admit, however, that in the years before their marriage, the two had some “full friendship breakups.”
For her return to the big screen after a brief hiatus, Kunis opted for a comedy. The movie, "Bad Moms," is also making headlines for its frank yet funny representation of women and motherhood.
“Women innately have this weird thing where they try to have a perfect persona -- to look perfect, be perfect, act perfect, have their kids look a certain way,” Kunis said of the film’s origins and relevance. “Women put so much pressure on themselves.”
