Why is it that Tara Reid survives sharknadoes when so many others die? It's certainly not because she tries. Did you even see the first Sharknado? Cassie Scerbo from Make It Or Break does all the work; Tara just yells at Ian Ziering and reminds us that we were in high school when American Pie came out. The answer finally hit us this week while we were giggling through the Benefit Cosmetics live-tweets of Sharknado 2: The Second One. Perfect makeup. Tara Reid is too pretty to die.
Since they're experts on both makeup and Sharknado, we asked the Benefit tweeps if they could suggest a few products to help us survive a sharp-toothed twister. (C'mon. You know San Francisco's next.) We can't promise that these picks will save you from the storm, but at least you'll look good trying.
