Basic Beauty - Nia Long is a fuss-free around the way girl. She says, "I buy what I like. I am a jeans and T-shirt girl all day long. If you’re in shape and you are simple, and you have nice shoes and a nice purse, you really can’t go wrong."(Photo: Johnny Nunez/Getty Images)

Smart Buys - If fashion calls for big bucks, you'll find Nia in the accessory section. "A good belt goes a long way. Rather than have five cheap belts, I feel like quality is much more valuable than quantity. You can look at something and tell when it’s cheap or trendy. I will pay $350 for a nice belt and I’ll have it for six or seven years."(Photo by Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

Face Forward - But when it comes to her skin, the actress uses a plethora of products. "I have an electric facial brush by Clarisonic. I use that with my face wash, and I don’t use just one thing. I use a lot of different stuff. The latest thing that I’ve been using on my face is a Swedish line called Skyn Iceland. I use their face wash and toner, along with the Antioxidant Calming Serum."(Photo by David Livingston/Getty Images)

Get the Glow - Nia Long says the key to having great skin is to "keep it super-duper moisturized. I go to bed greasy. I use a product from a line at Whole Foods, but it’s not expensive. It’s called Aura Glow from Heritage products. They have Almond scented oil. I use it every day and my son uses it as well. It’s a staple in our house." (Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImage)

Kiss & Tell - For her lips, Long prefers lip gloss over lipstick. "I have about 50 glosses. My all-time favorite is the Yves Saint Laurent Golden Gloss. It’s great because during the day it looks very golden."(Photo by Frank Micelotta/PictureGroup)
