With lively humor and profound nuggets of life advice, Ashley Park is proving she is just like the quintessential best friend she plays onEmily in Paris.
TheJoy Ridestarsat down at e.l.f.’s magic mirror forthe latest edition of Vanity Table Talk, following in the footsteps ofJennifer CoolidgeandZiwe, who have both appeared on the series since its premiere in April.
The easy-goingGet Ready With Me (GRWM)format let Park get both heartwarmingly and hilariously candid — talking about everything from her mom’s influence on her beauty routine to the stress-relieving secret she probably hadn’t shared with many people before, well, sharing it with the entire world on camera.

Park was putting on lipstick when asked about her secrets for pulling herself out of a funk. The singer could barely keep it together as she looked off-camera to where her publicist was standing. “Should I lie?” she asked. Then she decided just to go ahead with it.
“If I can get a good poop out, the whole world turns around — I’m serious!” Park confessed, before informing her publicity team: “I just said I would poop, just so everyone is aware."
Once she’s fully made-up and wearing her magenta power suit, Park starts giving her filterless first thoughts on a variety of topics like low-rise jeans (that would be an immediate “no.") and Finstas and “Belfies” — once she discovered what they were.
“I’m learning so much! I want one,” she declared of Finstas (fake Instagram accounts for lurking). As for belfies (butt selfies)? You do you!” she declared.
After her initiation into internet slang at theVanity Table Talk, the actress sat down with PEOPLE to talk about the web in other capacities. Park said that social media sites like TikTok and Instagram have given everyone (including herself) access to the style and beauty world that previously felt more unattainable.“My vocabulary and my rhetoric in the beauty space has gotten a lot more robust and I’ve learned a lot from the artists. I didn’t know anything four years ago before doing red carpets and such,” the actress said. Now, she feels confident enough to suggest a hint of her own personal style into the makeup and outfit choices usually made for her — just like she revealed she sometimes did while playing Mindy Chen on Netflix’s hit showEmily in Paris.The actress revealed to PEOPLE if there was ever a scene where she needed to be in a pair of sweats and a sports bra, she would usually just wear her own and call it a day: ““Sometimes Mindy is borrowed from me,” Park said.

Perhaps the most underrated beauty recommendation, in Park’s opinion, is self care. As she touched on in herPEOPLE cover story, the actress said she’s always felt the need to put others ahead of herself — noting that she sometimes felt “ashamed” to prioritize her own needs, and now she knows “you realize you can’t be there for other people if you’re not taking care of yourself as well.”
Her best-kept self care secrets come in the form of plenty of sleep and a mobile skincare routine.
