If you've been reading this blog for quite awhile, you'll know that I have a total girl crush on model and actress Brooklyn Decker. I was excited when I logged onto Facebook today because she said she would be doing a live chat for her fans as part of her work with Venus shaving products.
I logged into the live chat and was able to copy and paste answers to most of her questions (she even answered a few that I asked!)
So, let's see what Brooklyn had to say...(hope you enjoy!)

On Makeup & Hair:
...makeup brands... covergirl.. simple drugstore products that are really great and trendy. Dr.Haushka... Benefit... CHAPSTICK! the more simple, the better
Hair---- pigtail braids!!! make them wet then let them dry and shake them out! Smooth and wavy! my favorite look
favorite lotion? Satin Care in shower moisturizer... works with the steam in the shower to make your legs soft!
favorite perfume.. Marc Jacobs rain... and Bvlgari White Tea
skin care... LESS IS MORE! Keep your skin clean and use minimal makeup!
I only use Venus too... they are actually made for a woman's body so you never get cut or get razor burn!
For natural makeup... mascara.... lip balm on the eyes and cheeks... and a little bronzer on cheeks so its really clean and natural... no foundation... no powder

favorite designer... hmmmmmm Elizabeth and James... Valentino, Chloe.... Stella McCartney... TARGET!!! I love Target
Jeans on extreme home makeover.. William Rast.. they are GREAT for the bum!
On Her Career & Modeling:
Best thing about my job... well now I have two jobs... modeling and acting.. modeling I love the travel... hate traveling by myself though.. and acting- I love everything about it.. it's very challenging for me which is so stimulating!
Tell your daughter if she wants to be a model, to look at it as a JOB and not a lifestyle... thats SO important and the advice I try to follow
I act and model but CANNOT SING... trust me... I did karaoke last weekend..... not pretty
greatest person Ive worked with.... I love Heidi Klum.. shes very supportive and sweet... also Adam Sandler... he gave me my big first break and I will always be grateful for that
Tell your girlfriend not to pay for silly classes or anything if she wants to be a model!! Work hard... and trust her instincts!
...the most interesting thing I've done in my career.....??? wow so tough!!! I think this film... shooting on the USS Missouri was moving and historic
acting or modeling.. interesting.. they are both so intertwined nowadays... with actors on covers of mags and doing beauty campaigns... I hope to further my acting career... which can only help on the modeling side
