Maria Menounos, cohost of Extra, knows a few things about what it takes to always look your best. The former pageant winner claims that not only can she do her own hair and makeup, she can get it all done in about 20 minutes.

In order to ensure that her efforts pay off, she explained the importance of maintaining the skin, making sure to cleanse the face every night. After realizing she was having complexion issues she really began to understand the benefits of a thorough cleaning. "My evening ritual
consists of using Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes," she told us, "and then using my cleanser and I have little white towels folded up in my bathroom like a hotel and I use each one only once before I throw it in the laundry bin."

What else does she do as part of her skincare regimen? She told us that In the morning, she cleanses, tones and moisturizes. She also mentioned using "this great primer from Colorescience Pro that helps dirt and grime from seeping into my pores."

Are there any specific foundations she recommend? She loves Chanel Pro Lumiere Profession Finish Makeup SPF 15 because when she's in front of the camera, it gives a little luminous glow and enough coverage without making it feel like she's caked with makeup.
