Elizabeth Taylor's

From Face Shaving to Steam-Set Makeup

Elizabeth Taylor's beauty routine was as glamorous and unique as the star herself! Here are a few of her most unusual beauty secrets:


Face Shaving for Smooth Skin
Elizabeth Taylor was known to shave her face to maintain a smooth, flawless complexion. Today, this practice is more commonly referred to as dermaplaning, and it helps exfoliate dead skin and remove peach fuzz, giving the skin a glowing appearance. Taylor swore by it for keeping her skin camera-ready.


Post-Makeup Baths
Taylor loved to set her makeup in a very unconventional way—by taking hot baths after applying it. The steam from the bath would help blend her foundation and powder, leaving her with a naturally dewy glow.


Natural Double Eyelashes
One of Taylor’s most striking features was her violet eyes, but part of what made them so mesmerizing was her rare genetic condition called distichiasis, which gave her an extra row of eyelashes. This natural feature gave her eyes even more depth and drama, without the need for false lashes.


No Conditioner for Voluminous Hair
Taylor had a particular rule for her hair care: no conditioner! She believed skipping conditioner helped her achieve the voluminous styles she was famous for, and her hairstylist would meticulously blow-dry each section to maximize volume.
