Lily Collins is a classic beauty who has not only been in multiple movies but has held the position as the face of Lancôme.

According to Xposé Entertainment, the 25-year-old recently revealed a few beauty tricks that she lives by including her use of cotton buds that have helped her learn to apply lipstick properly.

The British beauty who credits Q-tips as her secret weapon to lipstick application admitted that she enjoys trying new beauty looks however, when she initially began experimenting with makeup she avoided bold lip color.

She told Cosmopolitan, "My lips are naturally very red. I actually used to dull them down: color used to freak me out."

She continued, "But now I'm really good at applying lippy. The trick is to just do it, then tidy it up with a Q-tip. I'm a Kiehl's Lip Balm girl by day but at night I love a pop of color."

Collins who has dated the likes of Zac Efron, Jamie Campbell Bower and most recently Thomas Cocquerel, grew up in both UK and US where she developed an eclectic style.

Through her travels the pretty brunette has learned that applying makeup in very different in America compared to the UK.

She explained, "There are extremes in California. It's either very beachy or you get that overly made up, caked-on look," adding, "In Europe it seems a lot more casual, with maybe a fun lip color.

"And the skin is kind of untouched. I really love that. I feel that guys like less; they like to see who you are. They don't notice all the little things we obsess over, like spots."

Lily Collins who quickly began to get noticed for her defined eyebrows admitted that she sticks to a strict beauty routine after a long night out.

She explained the steps, "Take off the shoes - no, throw the shoes! I'm normally barefoot immediately."

She added, "I always take my make-up off, no matter what the time. And hand cream, every night - I love waking up soft!"
