Beauty advice from the stars

Lipstick lover

We discover the beauty secrets of the stars that leave them looking red-carpet ready.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

"My beauty saviour is lipstick. When I was 16 I realised the importance of finding a good lipstick if you are pale, like me, as it warms up your complexion. I usually use the same one to add colour to my cheeks too. My favourite is Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Funtime Fuchsia, £5.49."

Tools of the trade

Kate Winslet

"It\'s all about great brushes, because you can control how much or how little make-up you put on your face. You can be microscopically minimal with the right brush. I love Lancôme\'s new range, from £20. And always take make-up off at night, no matter how tired you are. Absolutely always."

Luscious locks

Cheryl Cole

"Kimberley was the one who got me into moisturising before going to bed, because it soaks into your skin overnight. You can put loads on - and in the morning your skin feels nice and soft. When it comes to my hair, I adore L\'Oréal Elvive Full Restore Mask, £4.99. It leaves it so soft and super-shiny."

Professional finish

Jemma Kidd

"My belief is that make-up shouldn\'t mask your face, it should enhance your features - and products should be used in moderation. At the moment, my favourite product is the Jemma Kidd Skin Rescue Bio-complex Veil SPF15, £32, which is an all-in-one skin prep, primer, illuminator and tint that evens out your skin tone while hydrating it and producing a great dewy finish."

The eyes have it

Lily Cole

"I swear by Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner, £4.99, and a slick lipstick is a fail-safe party look for me. I fi nd if I blot it with powder, such as Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder, £3.99, it lasts longer, so I hardly have to reapply during the evening."

Cleverly concealed

Liv Tyler

"My mother couldn\'t emphasise enough how important it is to cleanse and moisturise before bed. But Givenchy Mister Light, £21, is my secret weapon. It hides any dark circles under my eyes. I\'m also a fan of shimmery lipstick - when it\'s applied to my cupid\'s bow, it makes my lips pop out."
