Scandal SZN is upon us (and in it's seventh and last installment), Olivia Pope is in her final form  and Kerry Washington is in full-on OP mode now more than ever.

The evidence? In her latest cover story for beauty bible Allure, Kerry shows she's the ultimate spin master when asked a series of "Would you rather?" questions.

For every rapid-fire question, Kerry had a diplomatic answer that managed to shade absolutely no one. Even when she was thrown a relative gimme, when asked if she'd rather swap makeup bags with Kylie Jenner or RuPaul, Kerry both kept it classy and surprised us with the following answer:

"I would rather change makeup bags with Kylie Jenner because she's an innovator — not that RuPaul's not — but I just don't know what she's got up her sleeve next."

So does this mean we'll be getting an Olivia Pope lip kit soon? Welp, judging by OP's tendency to keep it simple with regard to make up, it's doubtful that she herself would ever reach for a matte lippie. But perhaps an OP gloss, at the very least, could be arranged? Let us know, KyCo.

That wasn't the only beauty revelation revealed in the short video. When asked if she'd prefer chunky '90s highlights or '80s feather bangs, she said, "I would rather wear cornrows," with a laugh, gesturing to the style she was currently wearing. 

But Kerry went even deeper into her love for Black hair, citing her children as muses. “I like to wear my natural texture, especially now because I have children and I want them to know that their hair is perfect as it is,” she said. “They don’t have to change it or straighten it. They can, but they don’t have to.” Amen, sister!
