17 Beauty Hacks That Make These Aussie Starlets The Envy of the World

Australia is one of the most beautiful places in the world with the most beautiful people. But all that sun, salt water, and humidity can do a number on our skin and hair. Luckily for us, we can look to our stars for some beauty tips and tricks!

Dry Body Brushing

Who wouldn’t want to take beauty advice from the lovely Victoria’s Secret model, Miranda Kerr? With a toddler and a busy schedule, Kerr doesn’t spend a lot of time getting ready in the morning. However, she always makes sure to dry brush before a shower. It removes dead skin cells, helps with circulation, and detoxifies the body.

Biotin Supplements

Nicole Kidman, actress and film producer, is almost 50 but still looks radiant. She prefers the natural route of improving her beauty from the inside. Instead of wearing a lot of makeup, she takes a lot of vitamins, especially biotin, which improves the appearance of her skin, hair, and nails.

Drink A Lot Of Water

Leave it to the beautiful Naomi Watts to come up with an all natural beauty regimen that doesn’t cost big bikkies. She stays bushy-tailed by drinking lots of water and getting enough sleep. She aims for 5 liters of water a day!

Eyebrow Gel

The “OITNB” star, Ruby Rose, is the newest trending star out of Oz. Rose is praised for her always bonza eyebrows. Her secret — eyebrow gel! She takes it with her everywhere. Her go-to brand is Maybelline Brow Drama.

Tinted Moisturizer With SPF

Gemma Ward, fashion model turned actress, keeps her youthful glow by wearing nothing but tinted moisturizer on her face. It lets her skin breathe, it’s easy, and it keeps her skin moisturized all day. Look for a brand with SPF to protect your face from the strong Aussie sun.

Red Lips Never Fail

The Melbourne born actress, Cate Blanchett, doesn’t spend a lot of time on her makeup. But when she does want to scrub up, she goes with a simple red lip. She loves Tom Ford’s red lip color because it really pops against her pale complexion.

Exfoliate Exfoliate Exfoliate

Elle Macpherson does it all! So how exactly does this 51-year-old model, actress, and businesswoman always look so stunning? She found the fountain of youth through exfoliation. Like fellow model Miranda Kerr, she dry brushes in the morning and uses a sea salt scrub at night.

Shimmer Bronzer

Every Australian sheila loves a summer glow, including Isla Fisher. But because lying in the sun all day isn’t the healthiest way to achieve it, the beautiful actress uses bronzer. She wears bronzer with a little shimmer for a dewy, sun-kissed look.

Sea Salt Spray

Adelaide actress, Teresa Palmer, embraces her natural beauty and doesn’t wear a lot of makeup. She has naturally wild, curly hair so she uses sea salt spray to tame the curls but keep the beachy look. It is perfect for when you can’t hit the beach but want to look like you’ve been there all day!

Tea Tree Oil

Lara Bingle, model and TV personality, keeps a steady tan using her collection of bronzing products. But she also recommends using tea tree oil. Put a few drops in your shampoo to hydrate your scalp or use it as a natural astringent to cure pimples.

Nutrient Rich Foods

Iggy Azalea — you either love her or hate her, but you have to admit her body is bonza. To keep her hourglass figure, Azalea eats wholesome, nutrient-loaded foods. Her go-to snack is smoothie made with kale, bananas, organic fruits and goji berries.

Body Makeup

Every Aussie knows the struggle of weird tan lines, including singer/songwriter Kylie Minogue. She says MAC Face and Body Foundation is essential when she is working. It does everything from conditioning the skin to erasing tan lines.

Illuminate and Highlight

Jessica Hart’s dewy complexion always makes her look bushytailed. But even for a model, the flawless look doesn’t come effortlessly. Hart’s number one beauty staple is highlighter. She focuses on the temples, cheekbones and bridge of nose for an illuminated and wide-awake look.

Exception Oil

Oils are having a moment right now and Leigh Campbell, beauty director for Cosmopolitan Australia, is not stranger to them. She swears by Exception Oil because it does it all! Use on the face and body to hydrate and illuminate the skin without harmful chemicals or parabens.

Apple Cider Vinegar

The sun can do a lot of damage to hair, but Carla Oates has found a way to reverse the destruction. She uses apple cider vinegar in between shampoos. It strips her hair of leftover product, balances the pH of her scalp, and leaves her hair shiny and healthy. It can also be used as a facial toner.

Natural Lip Balm

Is there anyone more qualified to give beauty advice than former beauty editor for Vogue Australia, Sigourney Cantelo? Probably not, so listen up. Cantelo loves to get down to her natural roots, beet root. She slices it up and applies it to her lips and cheeks for all day natural color.

Highlight One Feature At A Time

Supermodel Abbey Lee Kershaw has worked with some of the biggest names in fashion. Do Oscar de la Renta and Alexander McQueen ring any bells? This Melbourne sheila always looks flawless by following this one simple rule; highlight one feature at time. Choose between a red lip or a dark smokey eye, not both.
