The pop nominee and performer – along with hairstylist Laini Reeves and makeup artist Colleen Creighton – tells us how she keeps herself looking camera-ready all night. "I just want to look hot all the time," says Furtado. "I love my body."

HER DIET: Eschewing a nutritionist or personal trainer, Furtado stocks up on fresh fruit, steamed veggies and water two weeks before the show and tones by rehearsing for her upcoming Get Loose tour. "The dancing is a great all-over body workout," says the singer.

HER HAIR: Reeves uses Kérastase Nutritive Lait Nutri-Sculpt on Furtado's hair, since throat-irritating hairspray is usually off-limits: "Her hair responds better with the least amount of product."

HER MAKEUP: For the red carpet, Creighton uses softer product on the star, like Shu Uemura sheer face powder. At performance time, she adds extra coats of Giorgio Armani mascara. To turn up the glam for afterparties, Creighton dabs MAC Lustreglass lip gloss in Instant Gold on her lips and curls her lashes with a Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler.
