Keeping
their hair and beauty looks simple when they aren’t hard at work or about to
hit the red carpet, these 5 celebrities all say they’re low maintenance when
they’re off-duty and have shared their own regimes. From simple wash-and-go
hair to splashing on just some tinted moisturizer instead of foundation, these
stars aren’t afraid to relax their upkeep when they’re taking a day off and
they’re happy to allow their natural beauty to shine through instead.
1. Cheryl Cole
Cheryl just
does the basics and adds in a hair mask to keep her locks looking great: ''I am
low maintenance. I cleanse and moisturise and every week I also make sure I
apply a hair mask; my favourite is Elvive Full Restore 5 Mask Pot, as it
intensely conditions my hair. I make sure I take all my make-up off at night
and wash my face. Skin repairs itself as you sleep, so it's best to do it then.
It's also important to get enough sleep and drink a lot of water.''
2. Halle Berry
Halle
doesn't believing in wearing too much makeup: "Less is more. When I wear
too much make-up, I feel like a man in drag. I prefer to be low-maintenance. My
beauty routine has changed since I became a mother. Now all my efforts are for
her. I don't style my hair much any more, but I do hers all the time!"
3. Leighton Meister
Leighton
isn't fussy and relaxes her makeup and hair when not working: "I get
serious make-up every day; it's like playing dress-up! But it takes its toll
because you're being touched constantly. If I'm not working I'll wear a tinted
moisturiser. When it comes to my hair, I'm wash and go! When I want to look
like I've made an effort I leave it down. When it's up, people think you don't
want to show it off! It's a good trick."
4. Nicole Scherzinger
Nicole likes
to throw her hair in to a ponytail: "I have a hectic schedule, so my daily
beauty regime is pretty low-maintenance... I have very long, thick hair - it's
like a horse's mane! - so I tend to wear it up. I'll often pull it back into a
high bun; it takes two seconds and still looks really chic."
5. Thandie Newton
Thandie
applies simple foundation: "If you're low-maintenance, it's really
important that the stuff you do use really works. It's all about multi-tasking.
The kids have to be at school by 8.30 every day and I don't want to look like
I've just got out of bed so I wash my face and I put on Olay's Total Effects
Touch of Foundation."
