Want to know about the products celebrities swear by? We've got the answers
Model must-haves
Clear complexions are vital for catwalk queens, but as partying and pouting go hand-in-hand, how do they keep them glowing? With a simple skincare regime using powerful products packed with natural ingredients.
Feed stressed skin the Kate Moss way with a daily dose of Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream, £16 (www.drhauschka.co.uk). Its fine rose extract helps to repair sensitive skin, control spot-causing oils, and prevent skin looking blotchy. And Laura Baily swears that a before-bed dose of Suqqu HA Complex Cream, £120 (0207 318 3538) is all you need to pump up moisture levels and de-stress skin.
Revive a dull complexion with Gisele Bundchen's favourite skin-sorter, Decleor Aromessence Rose D'Orient, £37 (www.decleor.com). Wearing make-up all day can suffocate skin, so the Brazilian babe uses this cult oil to soothe away irritation and redness. Or for a quick fix, try Sophie Dahl's favourite face-booster, Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, £19 (stores nationwide).
Target wrinkles as Naomi Campbell does with a course of Elemis Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules, £55 for 60 capsules (www.elemis.com). The concoction of concentrated rose, lavender and African Moringa oils repairs ageing skin while renewing elasticity and youthfulness.
Singers' star buys
'Get me noticed' make-up is at the top of any musician's beauty shopping list and with cult cosmetics' saucy and sexy names, it's no wonder these products become their make-up bag staples.
Super shiny pouts are vital for a show-stopping look, so it's no surprise that the gorgeous Gwen Stefani layers her lips with Urban Decay XXX Shine Lip Gloss, £10.50 (08450 708090). Wear it over lipstick like Gwen, or on its own for a see-through sheen. Or if you'd prefer a more subtle stain, try Beyonce's favourite gloss, Pout Lip Gloss in Light My Fire, £12 (www.pout.co.uk), a barely there coral colour that suits all complexions.
Flawless skin doesn't come easy to most of us, but you can always cheat. Britney Spears disguises any blemishes or blotchiness with Benefit Some Kind-A Gorgeous, £19.50 (0808 238 0230). It's a compact to suit all skin tones that blends away imperfections at any time of the day.
A sexy stare always attracts attention. Jamelia relies on a full flutter to get the flashbulbs popping, and she couldn't achieve one without a couple of coats of her favourite mascara, Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara, £4.99 (stockists nationwide). Or if you're brave enough, use a bright eyeshadow to pull in the crowds. Sophie Ellis-Bextor loves Suqqu Powder Eyeshadow No 8, £18 (0207 318 3538).
The Hollywood hot list
The divas of La-La Land don't only stock up on pricey, premium products. They also rely on a few drugstore essentials to polish off their perfections.
First-class skin doesn't have to be achieved with first-class money. Angelina Jolie loves to cleanse her face with Lush Ultra Bland Cleanser, £4.95 (www.lush.co.uk) that uses store-cupboard ingredients like honey and peanut oil to keep skin flawless. And Liv Tyler softens her lips by keeping a jar of Carmex Lip Balm, £2.49 (Boots nationwide) handy.
A body beautiful comes cheap for Scarlett Johansson. No 24-carat gold infused lotions for her. She likes to keep it real by pepping up her moisture levels with a daily dose of Vaseline Essential Moisture Lotion, £2.49 (stockists nationwide).
Hollywood hair can be achieved by us mere mortals too. Nicole Kidman swears that all she needs to get her hair red carpet-ready is a helping of John Frieda Frizz-Ease Serum, £4.95 (available nationwide) and Reese Witherspoon uses Johnson's Baby Shampoo, £1.99 (available nationwide) to keep her blonde locks soft and shiny.
