Beauty Secrets From the Most Powerful Women on the Runway

The role model: Aubree Curtis, marketing agent at Creative Artists Agency

Best advice (ever): "The old sage advice: be yourself. As I get older I understand that a little bit more. You have to feel comfortable in your own skin. You have to feel like what you bring to the table is something special and unique."

Everyday makeup essential: "They call my office Aubree's nails," she said. "I will be on a conference call doing my own manicure." She has a drawer full of polishes like CND Vinylux ($10). Aubree even does ombré and chevron nail art for her co-workers on occasion.

Deskside beauty must have: Curtis keeps a bag prepacked with sample-size beauty products (she's on the road that much!). Inside you'll find makeup remover wipes, neutral clothes, a Helmut Lang blazer, and comfortable slacks.
