Tyra Banks is known for not doing things halfway, the supermodel is returning with a new talk show in 2015. But right now, she is fully focused on her cosmetics line, TYRA Beauty which she plans to launch with a live, two-hour special with HSN, on November 7th. The launch dubbed as, 'Cosmetics concert' will include a choir, a DJ and a runway.

During an interview about her cosmetic line, Banks said that she considers herself a feminist. She spent years on the Victoria's Secret Runway saying "Sure I was stomping' on there working it and I knew guys were like, 'woo, look at Tyra'.
I knew with my body being on the thicker side meant something on the runway. What people don't realize is that a lot of the things I did during my modeling career was a part of feminism --- of expanding the definition of beauty and making women feel like they're beautiful no matter what color their skin is."
The model also seems to fully embrace her role as a businesswoman and leader saying, "Right now, a lot of women are in power and they are not apologizing for being strong, wanting to make money and being on top--that is what feminism is all about. I just feel like as a woman you should be able to have a fierce face and attitude at the same time."
Aside from her cosmetics line and the re-launch of her talk show, Tyra will still be continuing her hit modeling-competition show, America's Next Top Model, which will soon be running to its second decade.
