Her Tips For Flawless Eyebrows
"I never plucked too much because my mother always said that they would never grow back, so that scared me. I was also never allowed to wax or pluck until I was 15 years old, which is when I started working, so for the longest time I had a really, really bad unibrow. It was actually really nice when I could finally groom them, because it's such a great way to shape your face. Right now, I like the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade ($18) filler, but I don't use it daily. I also love clear gels, like the Tweezerman Browmousse ($12), just so they don't get really frizzy and crazy in the humidity."
The Best Beauty Advice She Was Ever Given
"It's really basic, but take care of what you have. Part of that is definitely washing your face at night and moisturizing at night, so that way you don't have to do anything drastic later on in life. Because I'm in a profession where I'm putting on so much makeup and traveling a lot, I think that's really important. And drinking tons of water is also really, really important!"
The 3 Products She Would Take to a Deserted Island
"I would take Pond's Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream ($8), which is something I started using recently, because I felt like my skin was pretty good but not as great as it could be, and my mom recommended it. She's been using it for years. I would take a toothbrush, which I would use on my teeth, but I could also use it on my eyebrows to help tame those since I wouldn't have a tweezer. And I would also have a razor, because no one wants to go around with hairy legs."
Her Favorite Beauty DIY Tricks
"I love stuff that can do double duty, like coconut oil. It's really good for cooking, but it's also like one of the best moisturizers for your body. I like making my own scrubs with sea salt and some olive oil. I think sometimes stuff you put inside your body just makes sense to put on your skin as well. I also like putting the scrubs or a mask in the fridge, so that way when you put it on it's really, really refreshing to your skin."
Her Skin Care Time-Saver
"It's kind of lazy of me, but it's also really good as a mom, but I always have toilettes in my car and I even use them when I'm at home instead of washing my face. They're so easy and they're such a great way of washing off my eye makeup quickly. I can be holding my son and just scrubbing my face with the towelette at the same time, so it's a great way to multitask."
Her Favorite Sunscreen Hack
"I think SPF is really important, and what I like to do is to mix a little bit of a liquid bronzer with the sunscreen, and that way it blends well and you don't look pasty."
The Secret to Her Long, Luscious Hair
"I don't wash it a lot. I only wash it like two or three times a week, which I think really keeps it soft and moisturized. When I do wash it, I put in a leave-in conditioner, like Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream ($34), then I put it in a bun and let it dry. I don't mind dirty hair; it really doesn't bother me. When I'm working and they put a lot of products on, I'll let that stuff stay in for a couple of days and my hair will suffer from it less than if I kept trying to wash it and style it all over again."
Why You Won't See Her With a Bob
"I love having long hair. I think it's more me. I had the bob for a while and I think it's really cute, but I didn't love it so much on me. I think some women can really pull it off, especially if the style is a little more edgy, but I think it kind of looked boring on me."
