Interview with Examiner

It's kind of boring, mostly about style.

You've been on television for most of your life. How has your style changed throughout the years?
My style has definitely evolved over time. I love basics now, like a great pair of skinny jeans, my favorite being J Brand, a simple black pump, love Christian Louboiton, and a classic watch, love my Cartier. I've learned to really wear what looks best on me not necessarily what's the newest "hottest" trend.

You've also designed your own clothing line. How was that experience?

I loved being able to be so fully involved in the creative process of creating a clothing line. I have always loved to draw sketches of clothes and a clothing line is something I would really want to do again in the future.
What advice do you have for women who are looking to make the most out of their outfit?

I would say to wear what makes you feel confident, comfortable and like you're not trying too hard. I feel like I always look best when I don't over think an outfit and wear what makes me feel happy!

What is your daily beauty regimen?
I'm obsessed with Kanebo products. Sadly they are going to stop selling them in the US! They will be for sale online though, which is good! (Editors Note: Kanebo is not leaving the US. Kanebo is just changing their retail availability so that it is exclusive with Bergdorf Goodman and have excitingly, recently expanded their e-tail to BergdorfGoodman.com where customers can buy a wider assortment of the once, harder-to-find products. You can find the products Amanda mentioned at www.BergdorfGoodman.com) I use their face mask/wash and I have recently been using Murad's skin perfecting lotion, and I love it! I love using Creme de La Mer's gel cream every day too.


Does it differ when your filming?

Not really, except I may have to use the Kanebo mask more often because I'm generally wearing a lot more makeup while filming.

What are some of your favorite products/brands? (feel free to name as many as you'd like)

I love Creme De la Mer, Chanel's lip glosses, Lorac's pressed face powder, Guerlan's mascara, kanebo's under eye concealor, stila's eye shadows, Kerastase's pink line of hair products.

If you weren't acting, what would you want to be doing?

I would either be a psychiatrist, makeup artist or a fashion designer. I love figuring out why people are they way they are and why they do the things they do, so psychology has always fascinated me. I love making people feel pretty so being a makeup artist would be so fun for me, and I love everything about fashion so designing clothes is a real treat!
Do you have any unusual beauty tricks?

Haha no nothing too crazy!! Trying to think....

You have an amazing figure! How do you keep in shape?

Thank you! I try to work out as much as possible, but of course sometimes I get lazy. If I'm on track I will do the treadmill for about an hour and some sit ups and light weights.

How do you feel about girls viewing you as their beauty icon?

I feel really honored! I have had many beauty icon's growing up so I appreciate anyone viewing me as theirs!! I say being happy and a good person makes you a beauty icon!
