She then posted a pic fully made-up with the caption: "And after,....with the help of those in the photo," (sic)

Speaking to she confessed: "I have experienced insecurity all my life, and I still do on a daily basis. I remember having these panic attacks but not at the obvious moments.

"Because I have never felt beautiful. There are people who are beautiful and I'm objective enough to know that I don't fit into that category.

"For me, still now, it's to do with wit and intelligence rather than the way I look. I don't feel clever or funny enough."

Helen - who scooped the Best Actress Oscar for her role in The Queen back in 2006 - documented the 90th Academy Awards on her Instagram throughout the evening.

When she wasn't snapping selfies, the star captured lots of behind-the-scenes snaps, showing everything from the event's high security to the orchestra who worked hard from booths below the stage.

Helen - who even flipped a middle finger at one point - also posted a rather smiley picture of friends and True Detective co-stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

"And two seriously great guys.. there are lots of them out there," she wrote next to her snap of the pair.
