Liv Tyler has good genes; there is no doubt about that. With a model mother and rock legend for a father, the actress hit the beauty and talent gene pool jackpot. Just because one has stellar genetics working in their favor does not mean maintenance is not needed. Tyler does have beauty rules she follows to stay looking beautiful. Thanks to Elle, we now know what they are.
The Secret to Liv’s Shiny Tresses
How can one miss that Tyler has amazing thick and shiny hair? Not the greasy shiny either. Her hair has a healthy shine that reflects light on its own. The secret is lots of conditioner. The surprising thing is she uses a drugstore brand, Pantene. I’ve always been an advocate of conditioning hair for retaining moisture, shine and keeping frizz at a minimum. Look at the wonders that a good conditioner does for a star’s hair.
Get Impeccable Nails in the Bath
Liv’s grandmother told her this secret for impeccable, natural nails. While taking your bath run a white nail pencil under your nails. It keeps them bright — as in the French manicure look — and clean. So ladies when you get those nails shaped and buffed, don’t forget to use that white nail pencil at bath time.
Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Exfoliate!
It seems Tyler is a real stickler for keeping her skin soft and smooth. She exfoliates cleanses and exfoliates her face with Clarisonic. While this is a great tool it is also expensive typically starting at about $95.00. For those who can’t afford such a beauty investment try one of these more affordable devices:
- Ulta Dual Action Cleansing System
- Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System
- Neutrogena Microderm System Kit
She also uses different body scrubs and gloves on her body to keep it smooth while she bathes. If you don’t like the mess of a scrub in the shower, a bath mitt or glove is a more gentle way to go. Plus, they can be used daily.
Liv’s Makeup Tips for a Flawless Face
As with many celebrities do, Tyler learned a few makeup tricks along the way from makeup artists:
- Apply concealer with a lip brush to paint away flaws.
- Apply foundation with fingers. Liv does this so she can really press it in. Another reason why applying foundation with your finger or hands is good is that the warmth from your hands can help create a more natural look.
- Use highlighter at the top of the bow of the lip and at the corners of the eyes to catch light.
Now these beauty tips from Liv Tyler won’t make you look like her. Sorry ladies. But they may prove to be a useful addition to your beauty regimen.
