Dakota Johnson shares her brilliant trick for putting on mascara

Very handy.

There is one thing that can be said about Dakota Johnson - she's flawless. From her style to her makeup, she very rarely looks anything but perfect. So, when we heard that she has a trick for doing her mascara we were all ears. Turns out she got it from her nan. OK, so it's not your typical nan, as she's Hollywood actress Tippi Hedren, but still. The 87-year-old spotted Dakota putting on her mascara one day and decided to impart her wisdom on her. Tippi reckons it's all about where you hold the mirror when you're putting on the mascara. Dakota explained to Glamour Magazine:

"She was watching me put my mascara on once. And told me that if you hold the mirror down low and put the mascara on while looking downward, you will get the most coverage from the base of the lashes to the tips. And of course, she's right! She's a f--king movie star; she's a legend!"

Tippi's way also eliminates the chance of mascara going on your upper lid. We're definitely trying this.
