Anne Hathaway’s Must-Have Beauty Item Is One We Haven’t Heard Before

As far as recent celeb glow-ups, Anne Hathaway is a standout. From her impeccable updos to her glowing skin, this last year has well and truly belonged to The Princess Diaries star’s showstopping beauty looks. As always, we’ve been scanning the internet for any makeup hack, exercise routine or beauty tip Anne has shared. And until this point, we’ve come up with hardly anything.

So from the lady who keeps her cards (and her skin care routine) close to her chest, here is Anne’s must-have beauty item (if you can even call it that?)…

What is Anne Hathaway’s must-have beauty item?

Without giving too much away, Anne’s choice was, well, kind of surprising.

It’s nothing wildly left of centre like rubbing the eyeball gunk of some endangered species onto your pores under a full moon, but it also wouldn’t have made our top 10 guesses either. Good thing we didn’t receive this question during a round of Family Feud…

“I mean you can’t go wrong with water,” said Anne when posed the question by Vogue. “If you have it and it’s clean you’re very, very lucky so hydrate.”

While some might find her answer a little safe she does make a valid point.

Of course, no one is arguing with that. But as far as beauty must-haves go? We thought she might’ve opted for a product sitting on a shelf. And as a second option, that’s exactly what she did.

“I really love face sheets and eye patches,” specifically from the J-beauty brand, Shiseido. Though she didn’t specify the exact product, we take Anne as being a fan of the Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting & Firming Express Eye Mask With Retinol ($109 at Harvey Norman).

As with most J-beauty brands, Shiseido largely focuses on a simplistic and gentle routine that leaves the skin looking plump and feeling soft.

If you’re yet to dip a toe into the skin-soothing world of Japanese beauty, we recommend Bioré’s Yuzu Lemon + Ginseng Brightening Jelly Cleanser ($10.99 at Amazon) or anything from Hada Labo’s hyaluronic acid-powered range. We love the Moisturising Facial Sheet Mask ($6.95 at Adore Beauty) as a slightly more affordable alternative to Anne’s pick.
