Amandla Stenberg’s press run for Everything Everything is in full swing and with each appearance, the actress and activist continues to up the beauty ante.

We’ve already spent ample time obsessing over the 18-year-old’s buzz cut and now, she’s pairing it with equally badass makeup. On May 7, she attended the 2017 MTV Movie and TV Awards to promote her aformentioned film project and commanded the spotlight in bold blue lipstick.
