The beautiful actress is best known for her role in the hit US television series Desperate Housewives, and has also become a style and beauty icon to many women.

The star launched her first women’s fragrance, Eva by Eva Longoria, earlier this year, joining a host of other famous faces with their own signature scent such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Kylie Minogue.

Eva admits she wasn’t a fan of perfume before creating her own one, and her desire to find a fragrance which didn’t make her eyes water spurred her decision to create the scent.

"I can never wear perfume, I am always sneezing and my eyes water. So I decided to create my own perfume for other people who have the same reaction.

"I wanted to make a perfume that everybody could wear and I love it," she revealed on the British television show Lorraine.

Eva also revealed her style secrets, admitting she requires a great deal of help from stylists and make-up artists to look as good as she does."I have a whole team of people, doing hair and make-up – this is all an illusion!" she laughed.

Eva tries to maintain her fresh complexion by getting plenty of rest, and says she thinks that also helps her maintain a healthy mind.

The actress also mentioned her good friend Victoria Beckham, saying that she absolutely loves the pop-star-turned-fashion designer’s collection of clothes because they flatter her figure.

"Her designs are very feminine and they are great for any size – if you are small, or larger, whatever size you are. They really give you a waist and give you a butt," revealed Eva.
