"Usually, I look at someone like Gabrielle Union and think, well, I know her beauty secret: um, genes. Then I hear a behind-the-scenes secret that makes me think that perhaps there are tricky ways that the rest of us can look ever-so-slightly almost as glam as she. Here&amp;#x27;s a shot of Gabrielle from the BET Honors. (You can see the rest of her cute braid hairstyle in Beth&amp;#x27;s previous post today.) Turns out, she&amp;#x27;s not quite as naturally doe-eyed as she seems here. Her makeup artist, Fiona Stiles (who shared some secrets to Rosario Dawson&amp;#x27;s makeup with us last week) told me that Gabrielle is wearing not one but two sets of Shu Uemura faux eyelashes, topped with black Lancome Virtuose mascara. &amp;quot;Gabrielle was wearing a lovely pale gold beaded dress, so we wanted something glamorous but still young and light feeling. I focused on beautiful, fresh skin and dramatic lashes, using two sets of strips for a bit of a 60&amp;#x27;s feeling,&amp;quot; Fiona says. Let&amp;#x27;s zoom in for a slightly closer look. Now, as Beth&amp;#x27;s December Beauty Resolution revealed, lots of us still have not mastered gluing on regular-old single strips (or individual clusters) of faux lashes. So I&amp;#x27;m not sure how practical this red-carpet move would be for real life. However, I just love hearing the particularly sneaky details of how stars get so picture-perfect (a la Olivia Wilde&amp;#x27;s ponytail extensions at the Golden Globes).
