Charli XCX sleeps in her make-up

Charli XCX has lifted the lid on her make-up

Charli XCX sleeps in her make-up.

The Brat star, 33, has confessed she doesn't bother washing her face thoroughly at night because she thinks her make-up "actually looks better" when she wakes up the next day.

She told Coveteur.com: "I just like the things that come to me naturally. I've always just loved a black eye. Sometimes I sleep in it and I wake up and I still have the black eye.

"I actually feel like it looks better the next day. If you've been out partying and then you come home and you take it off but you leave a little bit on … I feel like it always creates really nice lines and shadows the next day."

She went on to share more beauty tips, revealing she often depends on multi-use products, explaining: "A lip on the go is the best kind of a lip.

"Also [choosing] products that you can use multiple ways. A blush you can use as eyeshadow or lip you can use as blush."

Charli shared more of her top beauty tips in an interview with W magazine, revealing she likes to put hairspray on her eyebrows to help keep them tidy.

She said: "Sometimes I'll hairspray my brows, which I think is a really good one. It's probably not very good for you, but they really stay. And I guess I still don't know how to curl my eyelashes with an eyelash curler, so hopefully one day I'll learn how to do that."

In an interview with Vogue, Charli - who was recently named an ambassador for YSL Beauty - revealed her make-up is always "intentional" even if she's barely wearing any - and she cites the looks seen in her video for new track Rock Music as an example of her favourite style.

She told the publication: "Make-up has always been a part of what I do, even if it’s really minimal; that’s always intentional. But with this new video I put out, I’ve gone for this really big glossy black eye, very sort of oil slick, messy, which I feel like that kind of makeup was the make-up I used to do when I was way, way, way, way younger.

"Except when I was younger, I would do it with face paint. Now it’s like with YSL, which is an upgrade to say the least".
