6 Beauty Tips To Steal From Rashida Jones

There’s just so much to love about Rashida Jones! You already know she’s funny (Parks and Recreation) and brainy (hello, Harvard degree!), but she also has some killer hair and makeup tips. Come check ’em out…

1. Find your way to hair happiness:

“I’ve always had a slightly dodgy relationship with my hair because it’s fine and it’s frizzy, which is a perfectly not-awesome combination, but I’ve learned to manage it with the right products!”

The defrizzer she swears by: Dove Hair Nourishing Oil Care System, $5, Walgreens

2. Don’t full-on attack breakouts:

“When I was a teenager, if I broke out, I’d just dry out my skin. But then I got this good beauty tip: Sometimes when you break out, it’s because you’re not moisturized enough. Now I treat the blemish, but I don’t stop moisturizing. It works!”

3. How to fake amazing lashes:

“I use thin liquid eyeliner just at the base of my lashes. It makes them look thicker.”

The (paraben-free!) mascara she loves: Tarte Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara, $19, tarte.com

4. Say yes to powder:

“I never used to use powder, but I’m a convert. I use just a little bit on my nose and forehead because I think a little shine is nice.”

5. Dye without being dye-hard:

“I dye my hair just once a year to make it look darker and richer.”

Her family: “Me, my mom and my sis on my thirty-fourth birthday.”

6. Be cool with yourself:

“My mom has always supported the idea of beauty coming from the inside, and that me being cool with myself’ is really the only thing that people remember at the end of the day.”
