Have you ever wondered how the stars pull off all that dark eye makeup and we mere mortals put on the black stuff and look like we went clubbing or forgot to wash our makeup off?  As I reveal in my book, How to Look Expensive, and in my story in April Glamour, there’s a secret to making black liner look classy instead of trashy.  It’s one of the secrets I revealed to Hoda and Kathy Lee on the Today Show this morning (hint Taylor Swift does it right).  I’ll also explain why on Blake Lively dark roots look, well, cool and chic, while most of us feel the need to get thy hair instantly to the colorist or hide out in a ponytail or hat until we do.  And speaking of ponytails, why do they always look so damned stylish on celebrities walking the red carpet, while yours (and often mine) look like you woke up late and didn’t have time to do your hair?  Those bodylicious red carpet tans…we know they’re fake…but where are the streaks? And what’s with Beyoncé’s lack of new-mom dark circles?  Does she have special anti-puffiness DNA or something???? Watch me as I put on my CIA (as in Cosmetic Intelligence Agency) hat this morning and solve these and other burning beauty mysteries.

and P.S. I got bombarded by the paparazzi on the way to and from the show,despite not being Kim Kardashian or Eva Longoria (who happened to be on the show as well!) so try them, they work!
