The Beauty Product Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Share

You would think that an A-list actress like Blake Lively must spend hours with a glam squad to look as good as she does, but during her recent sit-down with Allure, Blake shared a couple secrets that prove she's just like us. Check out more below.

If you're an A-list celebrity like Blake Lively, you could probably hire someone to brush your teeth for you if you really wanted. But in her fourth Allure profile, Lively explained to writer Brooke Hauser that she's more into DIY beauty. "I do my own hair and makeup for a lot of events," says the actress and L'Oréal spokeswoman. "It's about trying to figure out the features you're proud of and want to highlight, rather than just painting on top of it." Here's how she styles her signature waves herself and the products she can't live without.

Allure: What is your favorite beauty product right now?
Blake Lively: These days I don't have time to put on any makeup, really; I cover the dark circles under my eyes. But there's a L'Oréal Colour Riche lipstick—it's a watermelon-y color that's subtle, but it pops.

Allure: What are your hair skills?
BL: I do my own hair in real life. I normally put it in a ballerina bun. If I want it to be more full, I'll first put in some mousse and blow-dry the roots up a little bit. When you take the bun out, you want to tease it with a big hairbrush to give it oomph.

Allure: Have you ever had a crazy spa experience?
BL: I had a man ask me out. While giving a massage! It was awful! He said, "I date young women a lot, and I would love to buy you a dress and take you out one night." It was really inappropriate. Women are looked at as property. You'd never say that to a man: "I'll buy you a pair of pants and take you out." What does that have to do with anything?

Allure: What fragrance are you wearing?
BL: I do actually wear Gucci. [Lively is a Gucci fragrance spokeswoman.] If you're wearing a feminine outfit, you'll notice the feminine notes. If you're wearing something that's more masculine, you'll notice the wood and the leather.

Allure: Do you share beauty products with your husband?
BL: Totally. It would be too strange for me to say, "These are my products." But sometimes I'll have lotion or something, and he'll be like, "Hey, don't give me this—I want the expensive stuff." "It's the same stuff. I'm not holding out on you."

Allure: Is there a part of your beauty routine that you wouldn't let him witness?
BL: No way. I think if you have anything to hide around the household, that's an issue. You should be able to do whatever you want.
