The celebrity beauty tips to swear by

There's a reason a whole bunch of us can't get enough of celebrity beauty secrets. From the products that they swear by to the beauty rituals they indulge in, we've done a deep-dive into our favourite famous people tips.  

Straight from the mouths of famous make-up artists:

Freida Pinto: "The one thing I learnt from Charlotte Tilbury is not to pull the eyeliner out too much even though it is a big trend in India."

Skin reviver

Liv Tyler: "After applying foundation and a little blush, dust your face with translucent powder, then mist skin with a rosewater spray and lay a tissue over for a second. It makes your face seem flawless in a way that looks as if you aren't wearing any makeup."
