Reese Witherspoon's make-up artist says her biggest "beauty no-no" is "harsh pencil eyeliner".

Beauty expert Sarah Jagger has revealed what she considers to be the biggest make-up faux pas in an interview with British magazine Closer.

But Sarah also explained how to avoid the pitfalls of badly applied make-up.

"My biggest beauty no-no is using harsh pencil eyeliner to define eyes. Smudge the line with a cotton bud instead - harsh lines simply age you and make your eyes appear smaller," she explained.

The make-up artist, who has lent her expertise to high fashion names like Vivienne Westwood and Amanda Wakeley amongst others, shared a top trick of the trade. In charge of Reese's perfect complexion, she revealed an unusual but effective solution to combat flare-ups.

"To hide blemishes, apply a few dabs of OptrexEyedew Dazzling Drops. The formula reduces redness, so you can apply less concealer for a natural finish," she advised.

Sarah also named her number one beauty must-have. Looking after the pouts of Juliette Lewis and Maggie Smith, her favorite make-up product is a slick of lipgloss.

"I can't live without Sleek Pout Paints. Apply generously for a statement lip or mix them to create a customized shade. You can use them as blushers too," she revealed.
