00:00Hi Marie Claire, I'm Salma Hayek-Minol and I am giving you my solicited advice.
00:09My very traditional grandma keeps asking me when I'm going to have kids. How should I respond?
00:18I think one good answer is whenever I am set up in the right situation to be the best mother
00:26that I can be.
00:26I keep asking for a raise, but I fear I'm not being firm enough.
00:32What would you say to get the message across?
00:35Ask for a raise when you feel that you've earned the raise.
00:43I'm a terrible dancer. What's a foolproof dance move that will make me look like I know what I'm doing?
00:51I think what's important is that what you're doing, it's having a good time.
00:57I feel like I look horrible in photos. Any posing advice?
01:02I don't think the pose is what makes you look good in the photos.
01:06Learn what's the light that works for you and what's the angle of the lens that works for you.
01:12That's what's going to make you look good in the photos regardless of what's the pose.
01:16I want to age as gracefully as you. What are your best beauty secrets?
01:23To age gracefully, I think what's important is to not try to change your face and not do too much.
01:31That's when it doesn't look so graceful and it just looks like a different person.
01:36My husband dresses terribly. How can I improve his style without totally hurting his feelings?
01:44Buy him gifts. Don't criticize him and always try to do it lovingly.
01:49And if you have a good husband, really, who cares how he dresses?
01:54What's your advice for surviving an awkward first date?
01:58If you have a bad sensation in your stomach, always follow your gut feeling.
02:05Dates are not supposed to be about survival. Get out of that.
02:10My male boss regularly makes polittling remarks at me.
02:16What's the best one-liner to put him in his place without being rude?
02:21Don't think about so much, put him in his place.
02:25Sometimes honesty is the best response. You can say, you know, with all due respect,
02:32I feel like you're belittling me.
02:34My best friend has terrible taste in men and I'm always having to listen to her dating horror stories.
02:42What red flags would you warn her against?
02:46Herself. Why does she keep making choices that lead her to horror stories?
02:54What's the secret to always looking put together when you're running late?
02:59I think you should have your go-to outfits. Invest in a good blazer.
03:04Like, look, I'm wearing one.
03:06If you only have three things in your purse, I think what helps a lot is mascara, lipstick,
03:12and then pick one thing that is important to you besides those two things.
03:17Like, for example, me, it's concealer. And so always have it in your purse.
03:22Ponytails. If you're having a really bad hair day, it's nice to have little earrings.
03:27If you live on the run, it's always better to have nails that are just natural-looking.
03:32What's your advice for a work-life balance that actually works?
03:39You have to understand your priorities.
03:43You can always learn from absolutely everyone.
03:46Even in the case when the advice is awful,
03:52at least this advice will tell you something about the person that's giving you the advice.
04:00And that's a wrap.
