Nicole Kidman is one of the most talented and beautiful stars in Hollywood. The Australian-raised actress has a career that spans three decades and includes films like Moulin Rouge, Batman Forever, Eyes Wide Shut, and The Hours.

She has received massive critical acclaim for her ability to effortlessly portray any character and even though she has been involved in several high-profile relationships, Kidman works hard to keep the focus on her work, rather than on her personal life. Kidman is stunningly beautiful, and takes her beauty routine seriously — she even washes her hair in one of the most expensive beverages on the market. 

How did Nicole Kidman become a star?

Although Kidman is known for her Australian roots, the star was actually born in Hawaii in 1967. Her parents, who are both Australian, were in the United States on student visas.

However, when Kidman was four, they moved back to Australia, where Kidman spent the remainder of her upbringing. In the early eighties, Kidman began her acting career with appearances in Australian television shows and movies.

After a few years of starring in Australian movies, Kidman began working in Hollywood, making her big debut in the racing film Days of Thunder, opposite Tom Cruise. It was Kidman’s relationship with Cruise, as much as her natural acting talent, that made her a star in American movies after only a few major movie appearances.

By the late nineties, Kidman was a huge star and was one of the most in-demand actresses in the world. She hasn’t slowed down since, and even after decades in the industry, she remains a force to be reckoned with

Kidman is often cited as one of the most beautiful women in the entertainment industry. Even though she is a mother of four children, including two young daughters, Kidman still takes the time to follow a skincare and hair routine that keeps her glowing.

In a 2018 interview, Kidman revealed that she likes to keep her routine fairly simple. “I was taught to take off all of my makeup every night, but if I’ve been working all day I’ll use a cleansing wipe to make it quick and easy,” Kidman stated. She also revealed that she always makes sure to wear SPF in order to protect her skin from sun damage.

When it comes to her favorite makeup, Kidman relies on a few simple beauty tricks: lip gloss and a lash curler. As low-maintenance as her beauty routine at home might be, Kidman takes it up a notch in terms of haircare.

Kidman admitted in the 2018 interview that she has naturally curly hair and that she uses products to help keep her hair frizz-free and silky. Although she said that she doesn’t like spending a lot of time in the stylist’s chair, she does utilize one genius trick to help keep her hair color fresh.

A natural redhead, Kidman once revealed that when she wants to maintain her natural color, she washes her hair in cranberry juice. These days, she spends most of her time as a blonde — and Kidman has a hack for that as well.

Reportedly, the actress likes to wash her blonde locks in champagne to help keep the color fresh. “If you have red hair, try washing it in cranberry juice, and if you’re blonde, a champagne rinse can work wonder,” Kidman said.

Clearly, Kidman’s hacks work, as she easily looks several decades younger than her actual age of fifty-three.
