The Only Way Is Essex's Jessica Wright has revealed that she can achieve her perfectly preened and super glossy look in just two minutes.

The 29-year-old reality star told FEMAIL it 'used to take ages' for her to groom herself but she can now style her hair and put on make-up in a matter of minutes. Mark Wright's older sister also revealed that she has overhauled her appearance since rising to fame on the ITV2 programme in 2010.

Rather than sporting tight, figure-hugging frocks and a mahogany glow, Jessica now favours a slicker, more stripped back look. She also recruits the help of a glam squad to get her looking camera-ready for big red carpet events.

Jessica Wright, pictured at the Diet Coke and JW Anderson launch in July, told FEMAIL that she can do her 'hair and make-up in two mintues'

'On a normal day I can get ready in 15 minutes. I used to take ages but I think I'm so used to doing it and do it so often I take hardly any time at all,' she said.

'When getting ready for a night out I do take slightly longer. If I had to do it in a rush it would probably take half an hour. It's all about the outfit for me, that's what takes me the longest to decide on. My hair and make-up I can do in two minutes.'

While her wardrobe is bang on-trend, brunette Jessica revealed that she regrets 'millions' of looks she's experimented with in the past.

'They are probably from the early days when I didn’t know about strip lashes or contouring and hadn’t learnt the best make-up looks for me or how to apply things in the best way,' she said.

'In terms of outfits, where do I even begin! There have definitely been a few where I've thought, "What was I thinking?" I personally think my look has changed a lot. I’ve ditched the bandage dresses and the orange face, well hopefully people think I have anyway!'

The 29-year-old, pictured at the Aura nightclub in December 2011, said she has ditched 'the bandage dresses and orange face'

The bottom-skimming, frocks have been ditched for androgynous blazers, sleek tailoring, statement necklaces and pretty dresses as Jessica said she now tries to channel a 'sophisticated and chic look'.

While it's clear she's honed her day-to-day style, Jessica recruits a team of fashion experts to ensure she has no faux pas at showbiz events: 'I’d always enlist the help of a professional hair and make-up artist and depending on what dress I’m wearing that is how I would decide on my look.

'For example if its backless I would normally wear it in an up do and try and mix it up every time so I have a different look with a new lip colour or eye-make-up.'

Michelle Keegan's curvaceous sister-in-law also told FEMAIL how she has learned to flaunt her best assets and achieve body confidence.

'Don’t wear anything that isn’t going to flatter you or not going to flatter your body shape,' she warned. 'It’s important to feel comfortable in what you’re wearing.'

When The Only Way Is Essex burst onto our television screens five years ago, Brentwood's finest became known as much for their eternally dolled-up look as their turbulent love lives. Jessica said that she and her cast mates are always swapping beauty and fashion tips to ensure they look immaculate.

'Me and the girls are always telling each other about new products we’ve discovered and new ways of doing things, commenting on each other’s make-up,' she said. 'I feel like everyone has got their own beauty style pinned down now, even though it’s taken us a while!'

Jessica, who recently revealed on Twitter that she has broken her wrist, said she admires 25-year-old Billie Faier's look saying, 'Not only is she a mum but she is also hot, too!' However it's not the girls who spend the most time hogging the bathroom: 'Arg is always checking himself out!'

Jessica is very busy at the moment having recently launched her debut footwear line and penned her first work of fiction called Sparkling Stilettos.

When she's running around with various projects and filming the constructed reality show, she has a number of go-to products that keep her fresh-faced.

Jessica said that James 'Arg' Argent, pictured together on This Morning in April, spends the most time in the bathroom

'I like using the Philips Visa Pure Facial Cleansing Brush once or twice a week. You use it all over your face and it exfoliates all your dead skin. I think exfoliating is really important to do, otherwise you are just layering and layering your make-up onto your face and your skin can get really dry,' she said.

'Before I go to bed I will apply the Manuka Doctor Replenishing Facial Oil to hydrate my skin overnight and I find it leaves my skin looking really fresh in the morning. I also use a really good daily moisturiser, for me moisturiser is key.'

In Jessica's bathroom cabinet she always has Simple Facewash, Manuka Doctor ApiNourish Restoring Night Cream and Smashbox make-up.

In order to avoid the dreaded tangerine look, Jessica has become a professional at applying fake tan.

'Always exfoliate before and try to get it as even as possible. Don’t be scared to apply the tan generously but make sure you don’t go over the top,' she said. 'If it comes out a bit patchy then just cover up that area by wearing a long sleeved top for example.'

But it's not just looking good on the surface that's important, Jessica keeps herself in shape by working out with a personal trainer 'as much as possible' and eating healthily.

'When we’re filming TOWIE they have a snack box on set and luckily they put fruit in there as well as other options such as crisps and chocolate,' she said.

'Lately I’ve been snacking on dried mango and coconut quite a lot. Apart from that I just do everything in moderation, I love my food and definitely have a lot of cheating days!'
