Scarlett Johansson just revealed the £11 beauty secret in her make-up routine

Scarlett Johansson's biggest beauty secret will change your makeup for the better. Plus, guess what? It's only £10.99...

The Hollywood star recently shared a glimpse inside her everyday beauty routine during an interview for Who What Wear. When the busy actress has to get ready in a pinch, the "quick, out-the-door" staple always stashed in her purse is a drugstore mascara. That mascara in question is Max Factor's Masterpiece Mascara – and the name says it all.

Makeup artist Pat McGrath (who makes our favourite highlighters for darker skin tones) clued Scarlett in on this beauty tip. "If you use any Max Factor mascara, it’s the same as all of those super-expensive ones," Scarlett told WWW. "So I use Max Factor mascaras now. I was like, 'What?!'" She also keeps a Givenchy Instant Light Corrective Pen on hand. "It’s great for everywhere and provides a really nice corrective cover," she said.

Sans make-up, Scarlett follows a pared down skincare regimen of just five simple products, including the latest from her new beauty line, The Outset. "Actually, I always found that when I returned to the same basics — just cleansing, priming and moisturizing my skin — it would be its best self," she added.
