Zosia Mamet Shares Her Favorite Shoshanna Hairstyles

The "Girls" star opens up about playing Shosh, her most meaningful tattoo and the beauty product she can't live without

Zosia Mamet couldn't be more different than her character Shoshanna on "Girls." Mamet's style is laid back, and her beauty routine is minimalistic. "I literally wear no makeup, " she says. "I have coconut butter chapstick -- it's the Palmers one you buy at CVS. And if I didn't have that, I would probably sob in the middle of the street because chapped lips are the worst"

The actress recently teamed up with Secret Deodorant for a Facebook Live chat about stress and the pressure put on women. "I think nowadays, we put these expectations on ourselves as women to be everything -- to be superheroes in every regard," she says. "And I think these expectations are barely reasonable or doable."

When Mamet plays Shoshanna, she gets to experience a different kind of stress. "Thinking of her on a deeper level as a character, she's always so afraid of what other people are going to think of her -- their perception and their opinion --and that's what caused the stress," she says. But she also gets to have fun and experiment with beauty looks she'd never try otherwise. "She does so many things that I would never even dream of doing as a human being in my real life, which is part of why I love my job. I get to wear these crazy, ridiculous hairstyles and outfits," she says.

Her favorite hairstyle on "Girls"? "Definitely the donut, which I referred to as the bagel," she says. And of course the tiny hat -- because nothing abates stress like a tiny hat. And some Secret Deodorant.
