First and foremost, does it work?
That was my first question! But, yes—I am so pleased, and actually
shocked, by Latisse’s results. I was lucky enough to start seeing
results fairly early, but, you know, you have to be patient. Within
the first month to six weeks, I was encouraged because I’d see them
coming in one by one. And then they started fanning out.
Have you always been attentive to your lashes—like, do
you get extensions or wear falsies regularly?
I used to dye my lashes, and I’ve also spent so much time on
Broadway putting on fake ones then ripping them off—I’ve actually
had holes in my lash line from the damage that does. So I was even
more grateful that Latisse was able to make them darker and
fuller.
And what about those brows—do you think your lashes are
going to become your new signature?
I know—actually, my brows are getting jealous!
Your brows are still pretty fantastic, though. How do
you keep them up?
I work with Anastasia [Soare]. I’ll have her shape them once in a
while, but I usually get better results by just letting them grow
and cleaning them up in the middle so I don’t get a unibrow.
You’re obviously familiar with the spokesperson
game—everyone knows how important a healthy smile is to you after
those Colgate Total spots. Has this new partnership with Latisse
differed in any way?
Well, this has definitely been different because it’s not just
about talking about someone else’s product. My ego’s a little more
involved because it’s my face, and I get to celebrate the changes.
It’s something that’s so much more tangible, and the results are so
evident. Also, Latisse’s association with the Make-A-Wish
Foundation has been meaningful. Allergan donated an initial sum of
$500,000 to the foundation, and for every new visitor who registers
online with Latisse, they donate $5 more. That’s a large sum of
money!
So lashes, brows, white teeth. What else is an important
part of your beauty regimen?
All of those things really do fall into the category of daily
routine, you know, simple maintenance. But I’ve added Latisse to my
nightly routine, which has actually shortened my daily routine. I
don’t have to put so much effort into makeup or anything like that
on a daily basis because my lashes look so good.
What about exercise routines? How did you get those
guns?!
The thing that works for me the most is spinning. I’m an emotional
worker-outer—if there’s something I have to get ready for, I’m much
more inspired to work out. If I’m working too much or not enough, I
tend to slack off, but I try to do something active three times a
week, like spinning, yoga, a hike. I try to make sure it can change
all the time, too, because my schedule changes all the time. It’s
less about being skinny at this point in my life.
And, we have to ask, what of those Calvins? Is there
still nothing that gets between you?
Actually, the only pair I brought with me on this press junket
happen to be a pair of Calvins! I still have the originals, too—and
I can still fit in them! They definitely don’t look the same, and
they come up to, like, my neck, but I can still get them on. I had
two pairs of the originals, so I kept one and donated the other to
the Met.
