| by Delia von Neuschatz The first thing you notice about Fox News Channel television host Kimberly Guilfoyle is that she is gorgeous – even more beautiful in person than on camera. Add to that her long list of accomplishments and easy confidence and it’s easy to see how mere mortals may feel just a tad intimidated. But then, her natural warmth takes over and the next thing you know is you just want to sit a little closer and dish about life, love and all things beauty. In addition to co-hosting a top-rated cable television show, the 47-year old former Victoria’s Secret model, prosecutor and First Lady of San Francisco has, among other things, put murderers behind bars, hobnobbed with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall and penned a self-empowerment book, all while tirelessly campaigning for children’s rights. How does the single mother take it all in stride (always in a killer pair of heels) while staying preternaturally youthful and impeccably turned out? Find out below: |

| Skin Care I use a line of skin care called Natura Bissé which I really love. It’s a product and a company that originates from Spain and which many of my girlfriends use. I know a lot of people like Sofia Vergara, who love the brand. I find that it’s really gentle and nourishing, very moisturizing. I like to use their White Rich Luxury cleanser in the shower which opens up the pores. They also have another product, the Glyco Extreme Peel, that helps exfoliate which I use twice a week to get some of the excess makeup off. When you’re wearing heavy makeup in front of the camera as my colleagues and I do every day, you want to make sure you’re getting your pores cleansed really well. I primarily use products from their Diamond Collection which is great for young ladies moving up in life! |

| In the evening, the first thing I do is use Neutrogena face wipes to remove my makeup. They’re fantastic. I always have them in my purse. I travel with them and believe it or not, they’re outstanding in getting all the makeup off including eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara. I also find that unlike some other wipes, they do not dry my skin. They actually leave it kind of moist – a little bit damp and dewy. Then I put on my evening moisturizer and dab a little bit of eye cream under the eyes and in the corners. |

| In the mornings, I use the Diamond Gel Cream, one of Natura Bissé’s lighter moisturizers and in the evenings, I use the heavier Diamond Extreme lotion which has a creamy texture providing overnight repair and recovery. The brand also has a really beautiful firming neck cream called Tensolift. When you’re on television, the thing viewers see most of all is your face and your neck so it’s important to take care of your neck too. |

I like the line so much that it’s my Christmas gift. I’m giving all my female producers kits from Natura Bissé. People always tell me I have such beautiful skin and I have no Botox, nothing. I wish I could get those things done but I just don’t have the time! The products just really work. And no, I’m not a paid spokesperson for the brand. I buy it because I like it. Makeup I use a Make Up For Ever foundation when I’m going on air. They have a special formula for HD TV which is quite good. It’s used a lot with Fox talent. For day to day, I put on a sheer foundation from Lancôme called Teint Idole. I also always use a lot of MAC and Bravon lip glosses. Both Megyn Kelly and I are fans of the ones from Bravon. Some of my favorite things in life are the Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick in Just Peach, concealers from Make Up For Ever and Eve Pearl and the Bravon Cherry Blossom blush. I use the MAC Dainty blush a lot too. My signature perfume is by Marc Jacobs – the original scent. I always have this with me. I spray it on at home. It’s phenomenal and I get a million compliments on it. When I find something that works, I’m all in. |

| I find that the powders from T. LeClerc are really good. Their yellow Banane powder works as a highlighter under the eye. And I also love the MAC Studio Fix NW25 powders. In addition, I often use the Valerie Beverly Hills split duo foundation at home. Sometimes, I sometimes use the lighter side as a concealer. It’s easy to travel with it and it’s good to use year-round because the blending of colors allows you to achieve a paler look in winter or a more bronzed look during the summer. |

| For my eyes, I love L’Oreal’s Voluminous Mascara in carbon black. It’s really fantastic. I line the top and inside of my eyes with a black liner. I like an extra intense black liner which I sometimes just get from the drug store. There’s one from Make Up For Ever that I like a lot too that’s chunky and soft. You don’t have to sharpen it so there’s less potential for damaging your eye. My eye doctor told me that the most injuries to eyes are with women and it’s from mascara wands and eye liner pencils. I line the top of my eyes with a black liner from Inglot. For eyeshadow, I use Jane Iredale’s Daytime color kit. When it comes to applying makeup, I always travel with the professional makeup sponges from Alcone. They have just the right consistency and texture for soaking up excess makeup while still leaving enough on there. On the weekends, I just put on a BB cream from Garnier called Miracle Skin Perfector and then I don't need to wear any makeup. |

| Hair To be honest, I really like the Pantene 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner. I also use the Nexxus Humectress conditioner which I buy in the big bottle that comes with a pump because you get the most value like that. The Oscar Blandi hydrating mask is good too. To add volume, I use several products: the Rusk Thick Body and Texture Amplifier, the Unite Volumizing Spray and the blow dry spray from Kenra. Paul Mitchell’s Big Sexy is a hairspray I use a lot along with his Extra-Body Finishing Spray. At home, I use the Superfine Spray and the Texturizing Spray from Oribe. |

| My dry shampoo is the 7Second Refresher from Unite. To eliminate1` flyaways, I apply some Açai Daily Smoothing Serum which is rather fantastic. I love the Mason Pearson brushes and the paddle brush from Denman. They are great for styling and blow drying long hair and give my hair lots of volume. I like the Denman paddle brush so much that I gave it as a gift to my hair stylist. I keep one at work and one at home. I style my hair with a flat iron, a curling iron and use velcro rollers at the crown for added volume. |

| Health and Fitness My work out is basically running around all day. I enjoy getting on the treadmill and on the versaclimber. But I also like to go for a walk with my son and my dogs, Benny and Bella. Bella is an Imperial Shih Tsu and Benny is a Morkie (a Maltese Yorkie). He’s my son’s dog. My son, Ronan Anthony, who is 10, was named after my father and my brother. I like restorative sleep. I sleep in a dark room with no ambient light and I like to use an eye mask when I sleep, otherwise I wake up all the time. I think it really shows when you don’t have a good night’s sleep. |

| Expert tip: A lot of people don’t realize that, for anti-aging purposes, you should apply moisturizer not only to the front of your neck, but to the back as well. Bonus tip: If you’ve had a long day and you feel really tired but have to look sparkly, dab a bit of gold MAC Mineralize Skinfinish powder under the eye and it’ll perk you right up. |
