And he’s not the only one captured by her charms. The Season 5 finale of The Bachelorette, on which the perky Albertan chose Ed Swiderski to be her future hubby, drew 9.9 million viewers — the most the show’s seen in five years.
Though Harris and Swiderski, both 30, haven’t yet set a wedding date, she spilled 10 beauty lessons she’s learned since The Bachelorette, from her ideal wedding gown to her hair and makeup on the show, to whether she kept any of the clothes.
1. Labels aren’t all they’ve cracked up to be
Though Harris has a soft spot for Ina Soltani, she’s not a slave to those itty-bitty tags with fancy designers’ names. “I’m not a big label person. I just know it when it fits. No matter how expensive it is, it just depends on if I like the dress.”

2. She did her own hair and makeup on 'The Bachelorette'Who needs a glam squad? “I never had a hair and makeup artist,” she confesses. “Usually I had to get ready in 35 minutes or less. On my date with Ed, I had to shower, blow-dry my hair, put on makeup and get dressed in 28 minutes.”
3. A camera-ready face needs just four basics
If your makeup bag is stuffed fuller than the average celeb’s Botoxed lips, listen up. “A makeup primer is important, and a good setting powder that lets your makeup stay all day. Bronzer is my best friend. Then if you have a steady enough hand, liquid eyeliner and you’re off.”

4. Trust your sense of style
Harris lugged her own clothes to Bachelorette, though a stylist was on hand. “I mixed and matched his clothes with my clothes and made it my own. I loved my outfit on Jake’s date, the black tasselled dress with knee-high red boots. And my outfit with Jesse. I had a plaid shirt and yellow vest and boots — that’s totally my look.”

5. There’s no shame in taking freebees
Harris scored all the clothes her stylist gave her on Bachelorette. “Well, aside from a few rose ceremony dresses that were probably worth 10 grand,” she admits. “I’ve since donated about 60 per cent, and some of the dresses that were special to me I’ve cleaned and boxed up, and the other 10 per cent I still wear.”

6. Diets are overrated
“I’ve always had balance in my life when it comes to exercise and food. And I never deprive myself. If I feel like a burger, I will have the burger,” she confesses, adding that she’s currently obsessed with the Kraft Sizzling Salads line of dressings and meat sauces when she wants a quick, healthy fix. 7. Hot dogs are not off-limits
Bachelorette fans will be happy to know that Harris still indulges in ballpark food, and doesn’t feel guilty. “I’ll definitely splurge on a hot dog if I’m craving one. But my next meal will be a salad. I love hot dogs and the theory is still going strong!”

8. Spend your cash on what’s important
“Ed and I are passionate about spending money on things we are passionate about, which is eventually getting our own cabin and spending time with our family. So we are thrifty; we like to cook most of our meals at home.”

9. Two wedding dresses can be better than one“A part of me thought I’d want to go short, but another part of me, and Ed, wants it long,” she says, admitting she hasn’t even tried a gown on yet. “I want something unique — I love fashion, so maybe two dresses [for] a public wedding and a private wedding.”
10. You don’t have to be a gym bunny to look good
With her packed schedule, Harris doesn’t have time to obsess about her glutes, pecs or other monosyllabic body parts. “I ensure I’m active and I don’t watch a lot of TV. But when I am home I try to hit the gym two to three times a week.”
