Revenge on Glamour Magazine: Emily VanCamp Talks Boys and (Easy) Beauty

As Emily Thorne on Revenge, Emily VanCamp plays a woman trying to avenge her father’s downfall by slowly and strategically destroying those who wronged him (much to our entertainment). But in real life, the 25-year-old self-described “T-shirt-and-jeans girl” is far less calculating. “I feel for her, but Emily and I are polar opposites,” she says in our February issue. “I don’t have sociopathic tendencies!”

Glamour: So what’s it like shooting with these two supercute boys?

Emily VanCamp: Nick [Wechsler] and Josh [Bowman] could not be more different but are both so great. Josh and I have moments where we just crack up—specifically, when I have to speak Japanese. The crew hates us, because they want to to home for the day!

Glamour:Are you good with makeup?

Emily VanCamp: Yes, I’ve learned how to do a nice job—I did my sister’s makeup for her wedding! My mom is learning how to put lashes on herself. My makeup artist gave her a little box of them to practice at home.

Glamour:What’s your beauty philosophy?

Emily VanCamp: Less is more. I just started using Natura Bissé products on my skin, and they’ve been working well. I use MAC peach-color blush and Lancôme mascara, and there’s a clear moisturizing lip balm I love by Dr. Hauschka Skin Care. I experiment in my downtime, even if I end up wearing the wrong red lip. And I bump it up for a date, because it’s important to look good for your partner.

Glamour:You’re newly single. What do you look for in a guy?

Emily VanCamp: Integrity and humility. Also, if he can make me laugh, that’s the key to my heart.
