Beauty Talk: Natalie Portman Shares Nine Beauty Secrets

Natalie Portman is one of the most recognisable faces in Hollywood, and this Oscar-winning, Harvard-educated actress is especially known for her understated glamour and ever-so-classic style. The mother of two and face of Miss Dior chats to us about how to get the perfect lip and why true beauty always comes from within:

1. Go-to lippie?

"It depends on the occasion, but I’m always comfortable in nudes for everyday life. I really like soft pinks, so Dior’s Double Rouge Miss Crush 288 is a personal favourite. And in the Rouge Liquid range, I love the Miss Satin 162."

2. Current playlist?

"A lot of Bach, Schubert, James Blake, Chance the Rapper and all my old hip-hop stuff, like A Tribe Called Quest."

3. Perfume ritual?

"I like to spritz it in the air and walk through it so the scent settles subtly."

4. Describe the new Miss Dior in three words:

"Sensual. Passionate. Rebellious."

5. Beauty philosophy?

"To drink tons of water and get a great night’s sleep. There is truly nothing better you can do for yourself as a beauty routine than give yourself rested, hydrated skin."

6. Lip care?

"Lucas' pawpaw ointment from Australia is a great product to keep your lips moisturised."

7. What is your favourite love story?

"My own with my husband."

8. Make-up routine?

"I like to keep it simple. I always start with sunscreen on my face and then wear a bit of foundation or make-up base, and maybe a light colour on my lips with a hint of mascara."

9. Beauty mantra?

"Beauty always starts on the inside. Someone who is loving, individual and passionate on the inside shines just as much on the outside."
