" That was the advice Emilia Clarke&amp;#039;s mom gave her when she was a teen, and heeding to her beauty tip has sure paid off. The Game of Thrones actress, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, aka Mother of Dragons, in the HBO medieval-fantasy series, is also making her first appearance on broadway as the leading lady (Holly Golightly) in Breakfast at Tiffany&amp;#039;s (which opens March 20). And let us tell you, she&amp;#039;s a vision of beauty with the bushiest, most beautiful eyebrows we&amp;#039;ve seen in a while. We got a chance to talk to the petite star over breakfast to find out just what she thinks about stepping into the stilettos of one of Audrey Hepburn&amp;#039;s most famous roles, doing her own makeup for the play, and what she uses to get even more gorgeous (if that&amp;#039;s at all possible). Cosmo: How does it feel to play one of Audrey Hepburn&amp;#039;s famous roles?  Emilia Clarke: &amp;quot;Audrey Hepburn is one of my icons, and I love the movie and the novel, which the play is a direct adaptation of, but you can&amp;#039;t mimic perfection. People show up expecting to see Audrey from the movie, but it&amp;#039;s an entirely different piece based off of the book. But I absolutely love playing Holly, she&amp;#039;s sassier in the play than she was in the movie\u2014everything is just sexier, really. And the makeup is just gorgeous; it&amp;#039;s inspired by the &amp;#039;40s.&amp;quot; Cosmo: Do you do your own makeup for the show?  EC: &amp;quot;Yes! Shock, horror, gasp [laughs]! The makeup is a much simpler look that it was in the 1960s movie; the muted colors are really gorgeous. But I don&amp;#039;t mind doing my own makeup for the show, my mother taught me how to put it on correctly when I was 13, so I feel quite comfortable applying it. It&amp;#039;s really just powder, mascara, and a reddish-plum shade on my lips.&amp;quot; Cosmo: It&amp;#039;s so cool that Target had their exclusive beauty partners Sonia Kashuk and Umberto working alongside the production&amp;#039;s Academy Award-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood to recreate the timeless Holly Golightly makeup and hair looks. How do they differ from your regular hair and makeup?  EC: &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re very, very glam, but I definitely love the looks they&amp;#039;ve created for the character. But [as I&amp;#039;ve mentioned before], they&amp;#039;re very simple compared to the 1960s film hair and makeup.&amp;quot; Cosmo: You have the most gorgeous skin and hair. What beauty products do you use in your personal life?  EC: &amp;quot;I have very sensitive skin, so I have to care for it properly. My mother taught me to cleanse, tone, and moisturize twice a day, so I always do that\u2014I could be partying or working late, but I&amp;#039;m never too tired to take care of my skin. I also recently discovered Dr. Perricone&amp;#039;s Hypoallergenic range, so I&amp;#039;ve been using that as well.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;[For makeup] I use tinted moisturizer instead of foundation because I&amp;#039;m constantly wearing thicker makeup for my job. And I love Dolce &amp;amp;amp; Gabbana&amp;#039;s line, all of Tom Ford&amp;#039;s lipsticks, and I go back and forth between Trish McEvoy&amp;#039;s Curling Mascara and Chanel mascara. I also just started going to Bumble &amp;amp;amp; Bumble and they&amp;#039;ve saved my hair! I use this serum from them and it&amp;#039;s fantastic.&amp;quot; Cosmo: Who is your beauty icon?  EC: &amp;quot;My mom. She taught me to take care of my skin by cleansing, toning, and moisturizing; she taught me how to put on makeup\u2014even how they do it on the runways; and introduced me to good beauty products at a young age. Lanc\u00F4me and Vichy was what I used as an adolescent.&amp;quot; Cosmo: You may have the best eyebrows we&amp;#039;ve ever seen. What is your secret?  EC: &amp;quot;My mom had rules when I was younger: &amp;#039;Don&amp;#039;t do drugs, don&amp;#039;t have sex, and don&amp;#039;t touch your eyebrows,&amp;#039; she&amp;#039;d say. And I didn&amp;#039;t and I&amp;#039;m so grateful for that advice. However, she did teach me to brush them with Vaseline, so I do that, but I don&amp;#039;t fill them in or anything.&amp;quot; Cosmo: Last question. You have a very busy schedule between Game of Thrones and rehearsal and shows for Breakfast at Tiffany&amp;#039;s. How do you unwind?  EC: &amp;quot;[That&amp;#039;s easy,] I simply take an Epsom salt bath to help me relax.&amp;quot; Want more of Emilia Clarke?
