But when it comes to beauty, Richie admits she could use a few pointers. “I actually don't know how to put on makeup—at all,” she told InStyle.com at a recent party for Dior Beaute. “I have to get it done every time I want to wear makeup. I do not know how to wear it at all. It's so bad.” However, all is not lost: “I can do my own hair, but I can not do makeup. I don't even own it. I only own undereye concealer, Maybelline mascara, and an eyelash curler.” Tell us: How do you feel about putting on makeup? Need makeup tips?
