This month, Chriqui opens up to Women's Health about challenges she has face in her career thus far and how she has learned to accept being different than the Hollywood status quo -- although, honestly, where else but Hollywood would such a beautiful woman have a hard time accepting herself?
She shares some hard-earned tips for being totally irresistible in your own skin.
Don’t freak over so-called imperfections. “Never reveal your insecurities to a man, because nine times out of 10 they have no idea they even exist. Most guys are not as observant as women are.”
Let the real you shine through. "For the record: I wear makeup. All. The. Time. But I do it in a way that looks natural. My skin is blotchy, and I'm Mediterranean—I've got dark circles. So I need foundation and concealer. One thing I swear by is Armani Silk foundation. It offers coverage, but it breathes, so people never think I'm wearing makeup. For under my eyes, I use Touche Eclat by Yves Saint Laurent, which I love because it's moisturizing and creamy and blends into my skin without getting cakey. I also wear a bronzer—Cargo and Nars have great sun-kissed colors—just to give a little depth to my cheeks."
Develop your own sense of style. "You have to be comfortable in what you're wearing, because it shows. I know what fits my body and I'm crazy particular about that. Something I've been living in: my AG jeans. They're tight, boot-leg, low-waisted and holey. You can wear them dressed up or dressed down, with running shoes or sandals, whatever. Sometimes I follow trends, like when the skinny-jeans craze was going on, but usually I just do what feels good to me. I'm not afraid when it comes to fashion. If I love the way something looks—whether it's ethnic, Goth, or ultra sexy—I'm like, let's do this!"
For full interview and to see the rest of Emmanuelle's tips, pick up the July issue or visit Women's Health online. Personally, I'm dying to know what nail color she's wearing in that top photo. Any guesses?

Emanuelle is great. Thank you for the tips. We all actually want to look better, but we should also take care of ourselves. I also get advice from http://www.flowerbeauty.org
