Catherine Zeta-Jones has revealed her secret for the applying the perfect eyeliner, after launching her own make-up line.

Earlier this summer, the actor announced she had created a cruelty-free make-up line and now the Welsh star has explained exactly how to get her trademark sultry eye look.

“I hate harsh lines,” the 51-year-old explained in an interview with The Times. “I draw and blend around the eyes with my pencil, extending out a little to elongate just past the lash line.

“I call this my everyday look.”

The Oscar-winning actor, who is married to Hollywood star Michael Douglas, went on to outline some other beauty tricks she swears by.

“I use an eyelash curler for my eyelashes, which is as essential to me as the vast amounts of water I consume daily,” she said before adding that her eyelash curler would be one of her desert island must-haves.

“Starting with my new mascara and eyeliners, my mission for #CasaZetaJones is to create a universe of products that exude the feeling of effortless elegance that surprises by being both practical and indulgent.

It was the second magazine cover the teenager has starred on with her mother. In August 2018, when Carys was just 15, the pair featured on the front cover of the Town & Country September 2018 issue.
