Cameron and makeup artist Gucci Westman go way back (“we’ve known each other for 16 years or something,” Westman says), so of course they swap tips, like this one the actress uses to fight a pimple: “She has a little lancer…you knick [the pimple] and then you apply Neosporin and Visine,” Westman explains. “It takes away the redness and the swelling.” Celebs Who Look Better With BangsPhoto: © Getty Images

Demi Moore looks impossibly young for her 50 years. Could this be why? In a 2008 Letterman appearance, the actress admitted to indulging in a “leech therapy” detox. “It detoxifies your blood,” she explained. “And they have a little enzyme that when they’re biting down on you, gets released into your blood and generally you bleed for quite a bit. And your health is optimized. It detoxified the blood and I’m feeling detoxified right now.” The #1 Way To Look Younger: Are You Using It?Photo: © Getty Images

Sienna is into icy facial treatments, too (maybe these ladies are onto something?).

You look wonderful afterwards, though.” Do You Really Know How To Wash Your Face?Photo: © Getty Images

Think all celebrities use $400 face creams? Think again. “Not to brag, but I have a lot of allergies,” Emma Stone told Style.com. “I’m seriously allergic to everything.

I pretty much smell like grape all the time.” Try on Emma Stone’s looks in the Makeover Studio!Photo: © Getty Images

That’s not to say all celebs are low-maintenance DIY when it comes to hair. Lauren Conrad told StyleCaster her hair takes forever for her hairstylist Kristin Ess to do. “She’s fantastic, is a close friend, and is thankfully very flexible with my schedule,” LC said. “I’ll be working all week, and I’ll come in at like 7 at night. My hair takes seven hours, so sometimes we’ll order take out and drink champagne. We also like to fool around a bit, so it probably takes a lot longer than it should!” Why the epic timeframe? “Well, I usually wear extensions!” Try on Lauren Conrad’s looks in the Makeover Studio!Photo: © Getty Images

I definitely don’t recommend drawing on your eyes with a Sharpie though.” Steal Taylor Swift’s Makeup Secrets!Photo: © Getty Images
