It’s been a decade since the Oscar-winning actress, filmmaker and humanitarian starred in a beauty campaign. Now the face of Guerlain’s latest scent, Mon Guerlain, we sit down with Angelina Jolie as she shares her beauty secrets:

What are your favourite perfumes?

I don’t like perfumes that are too strong or sweet. They have to be scents I can wear every day and that our children like and associate with mum.

What products do you always have in your bag?

Lip balm and under-eye concealer 

Favourite city for beauty finds?

Siem Reap and Battambang in Cambodia­—for their use of local oils. 

What do you love about dressing up for the red carpet?

The last one was in Cambodia with the children. I think the chaos of getting ready with them is my favourite.

Favourite lipstick shade?

Daily, I wear natural but I do love a true red.

Who is your beauty inspiration?

My daughter Zahara. She has a natural elegance and grace and at the same time she is independent and knows her mind when it comes to beauty and fashion.
