We all want to look our best. Some of us enjoy looking good for ourselves, while others love the attention they receive while walking down the street. Sometimes a combination of both is the reason we spend so much time every morning getting ready before we go out.
In addition to the time and money it takes to look perfect, some frequently do weird and even painful things to get these incredible looks we’re after. And, so do our celebs. These life hacks might seem completely ridiculous to you (and we are definitely not fans of that), but celebrities who have used them are ready to disprove your assumptions.
The beauty tips for your hair, lips, skin, and anything else you can think of are shared by some of the celebrities we have here. We couldn’t keep all these awesome (and sometimes weird…) secrets to ourselves because sharing is caring. Ladies, please accept our welcome as we present to you the 19 beauty tips from some of your favorite celebrities.

Elizabeth Taylor‘s skin appeared flawless and even porcelain-like because of a rare mutation — she was born with a thin layer of peach fuzz on her face.

Hough, on the other hand, is a firm believer in turmeric’s antibacterial properties. She claims that her teeth don’t turn yellow, saying, “You’d think it would be the opposite, and it’d stain your teeth, but it actually makes them whiter. Tumeric is the bomb. Y’all should try it.”
