When your to-do list trumps your beauty regime, effortless elegance can be elusive. So, barring a bespoke beauty team, how can you maintain movie star finesse on an everyday budget?

Here are five terrific timesaving tips from top stars to keep you looking fresh and fierce.

The eyes have it

Cara Delevingne’s rise to the top has been meteoric — her natural beauty and uncompromising attitude have made her an icon for individuality and independence.

Never afraid to break boundaries, her silver-tinted shaved head was the talk of the 2017 Met Gala, encouraging us all to embrace our inner weirdness.

Cara favours a natural look but she keeps those beautiful brows popping with a touch of smoky eye makeup — this top tip will let you copy her edgy elegance.

Smile for success

Beyoncé’s fresh-faced beauty and perfect poise are legendary. Smash-hit albums and Carter clan duties can be tough on the skin, but she manages to keep hers hydrated with a sea salt scrub.

And here’s a cost-free tip from Queen Bey — keep smiling so your beauty shines from within.

But with a staggering six million-selling albums and a reported net worth of $350 million, no wonder she’s smiling like a Cheshire cat!

Care for your curves

When Jennifer Lawrence isn’t stumbling over expensive red rugs she’s bagging awards for perfect performances in films like Silver Linings Playbook.

Dandelion tea is a must for Jennifer— it’s great for detox and prevents bloating.

The awesome actress advises fans to embrace curvier physiques and recommends yoga and Pilates to keep limber — so she’s ready to rumble after every tumble.

10 minute tips

Jessica Alba’s screen-scorching performances in Sin City and Machete brought her legions of fans. And when she’s not busy beating up baddies on screen she’s promoting her billion-dollar baby products company.

Her trademark natural look only takes 10 minutes to maintain. Her rapid regime features a primer to smooth skin, with concealer, mascara and a subtle lipstick as a finishing flourish.

Ageless beauty

Good genes help Angelina Jolie defy the ageing process. But a futureproof face still needs maintenance — sunscreen protects her fine features while concealer and translucent powder provide that gossamer glow.
