In the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival Blake Lively made headlines every time she walked down the red carpet.

Whilst make-up is a passion - though in her own time she says it is limited to a bit of tinted moisturiser and a sheer lipstick or blush - skincare, it seems, is something she's less committed to.

But even veritable goddess Blake Lively has a beauty trick or two up her sleeve.

In a recent interview to Vogue, the 'Cafe Society' actress revealed that she 'blots' her "scalp, the top of her nose and eyelids" to attain a certain 'warmth' for her skin.

The 28-year-old actress has admitted she uses the rose pink cosmetic product, which is traditionally blended onto the apples of people's cheeks, all over her face, on her eyelids, and along her parting to achieve a natural and 'asymmetrical' warmth to her skin.

Speaking about her beauty hacks to Vogue, the blonde beauty said: "I also like to have a light lipstick in my purse - just a kiss of colour. I'll blot on my cheeks and eyelids. I learned that from a make-up artist years ago - you take blush and put it on your cheeks, on the tip of your nose and wherever your parting is, as that's where you get the most sun. That way it never looks like blush, it looks like the warmth showing up on your skin, asymmetrically. Not like make-up."

However, the mother of one - who has one-year-old daughter James Reynolds with her husband Ryan Reynolds, and who are expecting their second child - doesn't like to look too 'make-uppy' and will ditch a face full of make-up to adorn a layer of sunscreen and tinted moisturiser for her everyday aesthetic.

Here are the three secrets from Blake Lively's purse that require your attention right now.

1. Take blush and apply it on your cheeks, on the tip of your nose and "wherever your parting is" because according to Lively, "that way it never looks like blush, it looks like the warmth showing up on your skin, asymmetrically. Not like make-up."

2. Have a light lipstick in your purse that has "just a kiss of colour."

3. Lively also said that she "normally" just wears "sunscreen, tinted moisturiser and nothing else."
