Brit supermodel JOURDAN DUNN, 26, says her top tip is: “Hold a credit card behind your lashes when you apply your mascara.

“If you gently press against the card you get a wide-eyed curled effect without getting lots of the product on your eyelid.”

GEORGIA MAY JAGGER, 24, who has the best pout on the ­runway, says: “Do a lip liner not to exactly line your lips.

“Put it underneath just so it stays, then if you want a super, super-matte look, you can put a translucent powder over the top."

One of the world’s most successful models, HEIDI KLUM, 43, says: “When I go to an event I take a little container of loose powder and blotting papers to reduce shine. After I take the sweat and oil off my face with blotting paper, I’ll use a tiny Shu Uemura brush to apply powder.”

Make-up artist's top tips

  • Avoid eyeshadow creases by putting translucent powder on eyelids.
  •  Put cling film under the eyes to catch pigment from eye shadow and then remove.
  • Apply mascara to your bottom lashes first, as you will open the eyes wider. If you have already applied mascara to your top lashes you are more likely to get blobbing on the lids.
  • Buff away dead skin on your lips with a blend of olive oil and brown sugar.
  • Plump lips by dotting liquid illuminator over the shape of the Cupid’s bow.
  • Get a fresh, dewy complexion by adding an illuminating cream across cheeks, temples, forehead and jawline, between your moisturiser and foundation.
  •  Use toothpaste to brighten your nails and remove any yellow tinge.

Stunning Brazilian model ADRIANA LIMA, 35, says: “If you have dry hair, don’t wash it every day.

“And if you have very, very dry hair, wash it once a week.

“The oils help your hair look better. You have to do what’s good for your hair.”

And catwalk legend CLAUDIA SCHIFFER, 45, says her top hair tip is: “I stop blow-drying my hair when it’s still slightly damp and let it air-dry the rest of the way.

“It makes it more lived-in and not so perfect.”
