How to Look Like Eva Longoria

In an interview on "Dateline", Eva Longoria recalled how when she was younger her siblings called her "la prieta fea," which means "the ugly dark one." Well, as millions of people witness every Sunday on "Desperate Housewives", those days are long behind her. With her glamorous looks and petite figure, Eva is anything but ugly and if you're desperate to look like her, here's how to do it

When you think of Eva Longoria, the first thing you think of is her beautiful chestnut brown hair. Whether she wears it long and flowing or in an updo, you can always count on her hair looking shiny and healthy. To achieve Eva's great hair color, head straight to the drugstore and look for L'Oreal's Colour Experte in Chocolate Mousse. (Eva happens to be a spokesmodel for L'Oreal.)

With their deep, sultry brown color, Eva's eyes speak volumes. To make your eyes stand out just like Eva's, first apply a shimmery nude shadow on your upper lid followed by a liquid liner close to the rim making a "winged" tip on the outside corner. Follow with 2 coats of volumizing black mascara. Now go out there and bat your big beautiful Eva Longoria eyes!

3

Since Eva's eyes are so outstanding and glamorous, a downplayed (but still luscious) lip is required. To obtain Eva's luscious lips try MAC's Jubilee lipstick as your base color then overlay it with MAC's C-thru lipglass or Instant Gold lustreglass to get that shimmery, glossy look. Now flash your pearly whites and let yourself glow!

On "Desperate Housewives," Eva wears some pretty sexy, skimpy clothes. In real life, however, Eva keeps it chic and simple. Among her favorite designers are True Religion, Angel Sanchez, Monique Lhuillier and Carla Mancini. Of course, Eva can well afford to spend thousands on her designer clothes but for us mere mortals, spending some time at the mall will do just fine in helping us replicate Eva's look. Kohl's, Macy's and yes, even Target all carry items that will help you copy Eva's fashionable look. Just remember, keep the color and styles simple--monochromatic colors, well-fitted pants and tops, and keep the accessories to a minimum.

As beautiful as Eva is on the inside, she also has a beautiful heart. In order to give back to her Latino community, Eva has become spokeswoman for Padres Contra El Cáncer (Parents Against Cancer), an L.A.-based organization that works with area hospitals to provide counseling, support and information for children with cancer. It assists about 750 families each year. Since stepping up as national spokeswoman in 2005, Eva has helped raise funds for children stricken with cancer and their loved ones. Eva's next goal is to help the organization go national and hire hospital interpreters. So after you've made yourself look as beautiful as Eva, go out there and help make the world a more beautiful place!

How to Get Eva Longoria's Hairstyle

Wear this hairstyle if you have thick hair that has some natural wave to it. Straight hair can still apply for this style but it may take a little more work to get it there.

2

Cut your hair like Eva Longoria's hair in a long, layered shag cut. The length of the hair can vary but should be at least to your shoulders for best results.

3

Layer beginning approximately at mouth level in the front and left a little longer in the back. The hair is angled and layered to meet the bottom length giving long, soft layers that will give you tons of styling options.

4

Don't wear bangs with this hairstyle. Instead the hair is worn with a middle part and frames the face.

5

Apply a volumizing mousse to towel dried hair and section off your hair so a two-inch section remains at the bottom and the rest is pinned up and out of your way.

6

Begin blow drying the first section with a paddle brush and a blow drier with a nozzle attachment. Point the nozzle of the blow drier down at the hair to seal the cuticle and promote smoothness.

7

Work your way up the top of your head, making sure each section is completely dry before beginning another.

8

Give yourself a middle part and finish smoothing those final layers when you reach the top layers of your head.

9

Heat up a large-barreled curling iron and use it to create the big, flipped back curls in Eva Longoria's hairstyle.

10

Start at the back of the head and take a section of hair approximately two inches wide that runs from the middle of your head down to the bottom of your hair. You want to leave the top layers of your hair out of the curling iron and keep them lying smooth.

11

Close the curling iron onto the ends of the first section, making sure the very ends are inside the barrel's clamp to avoid kinks. If some of the layers fall out while adjusting don't worry-you can curl those ones separately.

12

Twist the curling iron back and away from your face while you wrap the entire section around the curling iron. Stop wrapping when your iron is sitting an inch away from your scalp in an up and down position. Let the hair sit for three to four seconds to allow the heat to penetrate all the hair.

13

Release the clamp and carefully slide the barrel of the curling iron down and out of the newly formed curl by lowering it until it "falls" out the bottom. You want to preserve the curl as is as much as possible so it can cool in its new shape.

14

Repeat this process with all the layers of your hair until you have many, large and long curls that bend back and away from your face.

15

Coat your hands with a styling wax and gently separate the curls. You still want to leave the basic shape so don't play with them too much. The wax will help define your curls into many tiny flips that blend and flow towards the back of the head.

16

Finish off with a light misting of hairspray. Be careful not to overdo it on the hairspray-this style should have movement and be touchable. Helmut heads aren't trendy.

Eva Longoria's hairstyle looks twice as nice thanks to bold highlights throughout. Try adding some lighter sections to your hair for the same effect.

If you can't be bothered with all that curling try wearing the same hairstyle straight. Flip the layers back while blow drying and go for a sleeker version of Eva Longoria's hairstyle.
