She has travelled the world modelling for the world’s biggest designers, so it is perhaps of little surprise Jourdan Dunn has picked up a trick or two along the way.
The British star, 28, revealed how she swears by a clever hack for applying eyeliner that requires nothing more than a credit card.
Dunn places the long edge of the credit card at an upwards angle from the outer corner of her eye, creating a straight edge that acts as a rule for her to follow.

‘Place a credit card flat on your skin by your eyes, to use as a guide for a sharp flick,’ she explained in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph’s Stella magazine.
However the model admitted that when it came to her own day-to-day look she preferred something ‘low key’ over a fully made-up face.
She continued: ‘I only wear it if I have to. On a normal day, if I’m doing the school run or going to a gym class, I’d rather be make-up-free and save the lipstick for when I go out.’
Jourdan said the two best tips she has picked up from her years in the fashion industry are to use coconut oil for everything, including cleansing, moisturising and cooking.

Jourdan said young girls are under ‘dangerous’ pressure to look picture perfect as they are confronted with Photoshopped images on social media. Pictured: Jourdan at the Victoria Beckham 10th Anniversary party in London earlier this month
In the interview she also spoke of the ‘dangerous’ pressure placed on young girls to look picture perfect as they are confronted with Photoshopped images on social media.
She said: ‘Some young girls don’t know how to separate reality from Instagram. They’re comparing themselves to a Photoshopped image, but how can you compare yourself to something that’s not real? It can be very dangerous.’
Jourdan was scouted at the age of 15 by Storm Model Management and has gone on to find fame across the globe.
The ground-breaking star topped Forbes’ top-earning models list in 2014 – making her the first black British model to reach the prestigious line-up.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline least year, Jordan admitted that being in the spotlight means she finds it hard to form friendships – and she trusts her instincts to filter out the disingenuous people.
She said: ‘I’ve made strong friendships in the spotlight and you’re meeting new people all the time.
‘But you soon become wary and realise that some people just want to get near you for your name.
‘I have developed good judgement and go off vibes now. Anyone with bad energy is cut off straight away.’
Being part of the newest batch of supermodels, which includes Kendall Jenner and Gigi and Bella Hadid, Jourdan counts Karlie Kloss as one of her closest friends.
