"I've always done it since I was a teenager. I like the drama. I choose the lipstick color more based on my skin tone. I use reds that aren't too blue because I'm so fair -- they look a bit odd. I need an orangey undertone."

How do you keep your skin looking so amazing -- are you a sunscreen addict?

"I use it every day. It's been drilled into me. With everything we know, it seems silly not to at this point. I put it on my face and chest, and I try to remember to put it on my hands and arms -- especially when I'm going to be driving. I'm using one from Dermalogica right now, and there's one from Skinceuticals I love."

"I went a little more strawberry. I'm using the [Clairol Nice 'n Easy] Sandy Copper Blonde. I wanted to warm it up a bit. I'm enjoying this for now. I'm going to keep it until I have to change it for a role.

Do you have any tricks to make it last?

"Every time I color my hair it starts out vibrant, and over the course of a month or six weeks it starts to change. But I like the different tones as it fades. I try to wash it only every other day to keep the color longer. And if I'm going to be out in intense sun, I'll wear a hat. I'm easy about it -- not too fussy."
