Zendaya's highlighting game is fire.

How do fans know that Zendaya's got serious makeup skills? She's said in the past that she does her own makeup for red carpets. That means her fierce beat is all her own, so clearly, she's one of the best celebrities to take beauty tips from. Her highlighting tip? Aquaphor.
