1. Sofia Vergara

“I use three coats of mascara on my top lashes and one on the bottom,” tells Modern Family star Sofia. “Start as close to the base of your lashes as you can, then wiggle back and forth and move up and out through the lashes for volume.”

“Massage your face,” advises the Oscar- winning Aussie. “Mary Greenwell is a great make-up artist and before she puts any product on, she massages your face to wake your muscles up. You can also mix foundation with moisturisers or primers and massage it into your face so it’s living with your skin and not just a layer on top.”
