Lily Collins has a new movie, The Blind Side, hitting theaters on Friday — but that doesn’t mean she’s blind about beauty, health or saving a bit of money.

The 20-year-old actress caught up with Teen Vogue magazine and fully admits on doing her own makeup and hair for events she attends. She shared, “I can do it quickly, plus I’d rather save money!”

Lily also revealed how she got her start, plus her beauty and workout routines. Check it:

On keeping herself fit: “I go running or bike while reading scripts. Working out gives me more energy to face the day.”

On how she got her start: “When I was fifteen, I called an editor at a British magazine and pitched a column about life in L.A. Because of my age, I knew they wouldn’t take me seriously at first. But I was determined to surprise them with my drive.”

On her always fresh-face look: “I put on moisturizer, then a little bit of powder, mascara, and a natural-toned lip color. Wearing a lot of makeup isn’t practical for a college student.”

Sandwiched between her on-screen dad Tim McGraw and real dad Phil, Lily Collins joins the rest of her on-screen family as they attend the premiere of The Blind Side held at NYC’s Ziegeld Theatre on Tuesday night (November 17).

The 20-year-old red-head plays Collins in the drama based on the life of football star Michael Oher.

Lily shared with TeenHollywood about the family aspect on set, “It was kind of scary how much and how quickly we all bonded in the family…Quinton [Aaron], I saw him when I was walking into the hotel and he turns around and goes ‘Are you playing Collins?’ ‘You must be playing Michael’ and he gives me the hugest hug. And was like ‘that’s it. I’m your bodyguard’. He protected me. I protected him. There are ways I can protect him.”

At the same time, Oher’s presence in the Touhys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own.
