She’s the actress of the moment who started her career on Australia’s very own Neighbours, but what are the secrets (apart from incredible genetics) behind Margot Robbie’s polished appearance?

Margot Robbie never fails to look pretty, polished, but never overdone – whether on the red carpet or stomping the streets of London. In her recent interview with [Vogue]((http://www.vogue.co.uk/article/margot-robbie-beauty-interview-2016) she reveals the secrets behind her laid-back style, and the products she swears by.

Skincare routine

Margot says she’s completely obsessed with having clean skin, and currently swears by Skin111 sheet masks for a skin boost. She also rates Dr. Lancer cleansers and La Prairie moisturisers, and follows the never sleep with your makeup rule relentlessly. “No matter how drunk I am I absolutely will not go to bed with my make-up on, I will not,” says the 26-year-old.

Make-up

While make-up artists layer on the slap, Margot says she prefers to go more natural when off-duty. For everyday wear she uses Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser or for events swears by Suqqu Foundation which the actress says “looks like skin, but it doesn’t budge.”

Keeping things low key day to day, Margot completes her fresh-faced look with cream blush, mascara on her top lashes and some tinted lip balm from Burt’s Bees.

“And I’ll always brush my brows, sometimes I use pencil too,” she adds.

On keeping fresh on the go

Based in London where she lives with her British partner, Tom Ackerley, Margot is used to frequent long haul flights back to Aussie and America. So if there’s anyone to trust when it comes to keeping fresh while flying – it’s her.

Margot swears by Johnson & Johnson face wipes, then some Peter Thomas Roth Complexion Correction Pads to tone. Also in her plane beauty bag are Aesop Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol and Caudalie Beauty Elixir, plus Klorane Dry Shampoo. “I have a beauty bag for the plane packed all the time, so I can just grab it. The products are all the right size so they can’t take them off me. I have that system down.”

Fragrance

Robbie revealed she likes to pick a fragrance for every character she plays, to get her into the correct mindset for the role. For Suicide Squad, where she plays the unhinged Harley Quinn, she chose something sickly sweet, and for Terminal she chose something quirky and cool to match her character. Day to day though, Margot swears by the perfume she’s the face for, Calvin Klein’s Deep Euphoria.

Make-up mistakes

We’ve all made them, even Hollywood actresses. In fact Margot’s mistake is the same as many of us – wearing too much when she doesn’t need to.

She explains how her actress friend Kelli garner gave her some advice when she was 20 that has stuck with her.

“She said: ‘All the colours you’re putting on your face are already there. You have purple veings on your eyelids, that’s your eyeshadow. Your cheeks go really red when you’re warm or giggling, that’s your blush. You have red lips.’ I was so taken aback by that but I really took it on board.”
