There’s one behind-the-scenes celeb beauty trend that doesn’t make it onto the red carpet – sheet masks.
From Emma Stone sporting giant jellified lip stickers, to Jessica Chastain staring out of an eerie white mask, our favourite celebs are using sheet masks to get that extra beauty edge.

Drew Barrymore loves them so much, that her product range, Flower Beauty, now includes them.
“I use masks all the time. These are true K beauty and I am so proud! I am crazy for face masks!” she raved in an Instagram post.
Not only are sheet masks easy to use, but they are also cost effective, and many have anti-ageing properties.
Our beauty editor, Martinique Stevens, has found the best sheet masks for you to try.
