The star of One Tree Hill has been known to do her own make-up, so much so that she can get herself all dolled up in five minutes!
According to People magazine, Sophia said that she does her own make-up 98 per cent of the time.
“Honestly I don’t like to spend that long. I always joke that I have a five-minute face routine. It’s really fast, I have a couple of things I like and that’s it. I own a tonne of makeup and if it’s a red carpet event I can do a full-on look, I think it’s fun.
“But my day to day is super simple. I just feel comfortable that way. I’m a tinted moisturiser kind of person; I may put two drops of foundation in if I’m feeling like I want a little more coverage. I like a cream brush and an eyebrow gel and mascara and I’m out the door,”

The actress who stars in the latest action thriller Cold Pursuit does call on the glam squad for big events, but she’s got some DIY make-up skills up her sleeves too.
According to Glamour, Emmy shared that she too spends time on YouTube tutorials to sharpen her make-up skills.
“I feel like I learned it from YouTube tutorials. Just trial and error,” she told the magazine. “I would sit at home and google ‘How-to do smoky eye.’ And try it and it would be a disaster, and I’d be like, ‘Why do I have sparkles on my nose?”
