Britain’s Princess Diana knew the "power" of good hair and make-up.
The late royal – who died in a Paris car crash in 1997 – always won praise for her appearance and her former make-up artist, Mary Greenwell, thinks other women could learn from the princess’ willingness to experiment.
She told Stylist magazine: "Diana was always very open and willing with her style. I think as soon as we worked together she realised the power of hair and make-up and that is something that should never be underestimated. By anyone.
"It’s all about experimenting. We should try new things. Whatever our age."
Mary went on to praise Diana’s "most incredible" skin, and says the princess always took care of her face and made sure she took all her make-up off at the end of the day.
She added: "After I started working with her, Diana did everything in moderation. She cut back on drinking so her skin was 100 per cent."
The beauty expert first worked with the princess – who had sons Princes William and Harry with ex-husband Prince Charles – on a Vogue magazine shoot in 1991 and found her to be "divine".
She said: "She was just coming into her own when we first met and had just married Prince Charles.
"Her marriage seemed solid and she was just the most divine, sweet kind lady. It was a huge privilege to work with our then-future queen."
