I'm so happy to kick off my column with a look at the warm and talented Gaby Espino. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Espino, 37, has a legion of loyal fans (almost 3 million on Twitter alone!) who wouldn't dream of missing a single episode of her telenovela, Santa Diabla, on Telemundo. (The juicy plot: Espino's character sets out to avenge her husband's death and, in the process, falls in love with her enemy.) Off-screen, Espino lives a slightly less dramatic life as mom to Oriana, five, and toddler Nickolas. Being in the public eye since her teen years means that she has nailed her beauty routine. "I love preparing for a red carpet—it's a privilege to be made up by experts," she tells me, "but I love staying home too. ??Adoro mi casa!" Here are Espino's most trusted makeup essentials.
