EXCLUSIVE: Christina El Moussa Shares Makeup and Beauty Secrets, Including Her 'Favorite Look'
Christina El Moussa is sharing the secrets to her signature beauty look!
ET was exclusively on the set of the Flip or Flop star's photo shoot for GoodHousekeeping.com, where she gave us her best hair and makeup tips and tricks with help from stylist Shannon Houston, founder of Pink Dust Cosmetics.
"Luckily my bestie right here is my glam squad," El Moussa tells ET's Lauren Zima, pointing to Houston. "She's taught me the tricks of the trade. Plus, I wouldn't do a shoot without her … I mean, this is my go-to [girl] right here."
El Moussa has a few go-to beauty products, one of them being her "everything" palette.
"This is a good one because this has, like, everything you could need," she says. "It has the eyeshadow you apply, the perfect brown eyeshadow, a bronzer, and then it has [blush] for the cheeks."
While El Moussa gets extra glammed up while filming Flip or Flop or attending red carpet events, her favorite everyday look is the bronze smokey eye, which Houston says consists of good eyeliner, separate faux lashes and a nude lip.
"I have hazel eyes, so I feel like a bronze smokey eye just really brings out the different colors," El Moussa explains. "I just think it's really pretty. For me, when I look at photos of myself, that's my favorite look."
In addition to makeup, El Moussa credits her seemingly flawless skin to clean eating and leading a healthy lifestyle.
"My usual [workout routine]… I wake up and I go for a three-mile run around my neighborhood," she reveals. "It's quick, takes like a half hour. A run for me really clears my head and it just makes me focus on the day, and just makes the day that much better."
"[It's] just consistency," she adds. "I mean, I still like to splurge and have a good dinner with friends. Have a couple glasses of champagne, some seafood at Mastro's. But overall, day to day, I really regiment on my workout and how I eat. I love a really good steakhouse or Mexican restaurant. Javier's, that's my favorite."
El Moussa also keeps herself busy with her two kids, Taylor, who turns seven next month, and Brayden, who just celebrated his second birthday with an extravagant bash hosted by his dad (El Moussa's estranged husband), Tarek.
"Honestly, for me right now, everything is really crazy," the blond beauty admits. "It's summer break… we're off our routine, so the mornings are different. It's not like we're getting up and going to school. Like today, we're getting up and [Taylor] went roller skating."
