Lea Michele consistently stuns on the red carpet—and, heck, even on the hiking trail. But the Glee star isn't one to back down from sharing a decidedly non-glamorous side of her day-to-day life.
Lea recently took to Snapchat to share what goes into keeping her upper lip fuzz free. "This is real beauty, you guys," she laughed, as an aesthetician applied hot wax to her lip. "This is what happens when you're half Jewish, half Italian."
She also shared the scariest part of the waxing routine: the eyebrows. "This is gonna hurt, really bad," she said. (Same, Lea.) FYI: Stevi Christine—whom Lea refers to as her "brow genius"—is the one wielding the hot wax.
