Sofia Vergara knows what works for her--the woman has an eye for hair and makeup. The Modern Family actress and CoverGirl spokeswoman got on the phone with us to talk about her beauty evolution and ended up sharing a big beauty revelation.

Take a closer look at Vergara's pictures over the years, and you'll notice something: With a few exceptions, she always wears the same makeup (brown eyeliner, bronzer, and mauve lips). "It hasn't really changed. Once you find what works for you, you stick to it," she says. Hair, though, is another story. She went dark (then really dark for a movie audition with Adam Sandler), cut bangs, and experimented with updos. But at the end of the day, she didn't feel like herself. And herself, it turns out, is medium brunette, with long, flowing hair. "When I was starting to work in Los Angeles, my natural blonde hair was very confusing for the casting directors because I was Latin and had an accent. Now people know I'm Latin. I don't have to try to pretend to be anything. I see myself when I look in the mirror," she says. One other thing she darkens is her lashes. "I have blonde lashes, and you don't see them without mascara. The great thing about CoverGirl Bombshell mascara is that it gives a lot of volume, and it's really dark," she says.
