\u00a0Carl called Michelle a ‘great collaborator’, telling Glamour: ‘She’s always conscious of setting an example. For Mrs. Obama it’s about being polished in an authentic way.<\/p>\n
‘She always looks like herself. To exude the confidence she shows the world, she has to feel great in her own skin.’<\/p>\n
To that end, he said his favorite product to use on Michelle is ‘a beautiful nude lip gloss’, adding: ‘Peach, pink, nude-nude \u2014 she’s tried them all.’<\/p>\n
During her book tour, Michelle will speak in arenas and other performing centers to\u00a0accommodate crowds far too big for any bookstore.<\/p>\n
