"I'm using my platform and the influence I’m so privileged to have to focus on females, to focus on families, the Latinx community and women of color, and especially entrepreneurs, because I really feel like entrepreneurs are such special people. They’re artistic in business – they can change the world in so many ways," the 52-year-old revealed.

She also touched on her insane work ethic while describing herself as a "scarce asset," and said the launch of her cosmetics line was "a long time coming."

"It’s not something I did overnight. It’s something that my whole life has informed, I think, as an artist and as a woman. As a founder of the brand, I really wanted to create products that work as hard as I do," she added.

Ben then joined in on the conversation and he didn't skimp on the compliments.

"I am in awe of what Jennifer’s effect on the world is. At most, as an artist, I can make movies that move people," the 49-year-old shared.

He continued, "Jennifer has inspired a massive group of people to feel they have a seat at the table in this country,” he added. “That is an effect few people throughout history have had, one I will never know and one I can only stand by and admire with respect."

Swoon!
