'I've been working since I was 12, so I have over 20 years experience with make-up, and I am used to a really high standard of effectiveness and quality,' she told the website.

The Love Guru star also revealed that she was always planning on launching a make-up line, but she just wanted to take time to make sure she got it right.

She continued: 'Beauty was always part of the plan,' Jessica explained. ‘It was just a matter of when, how, and being able to execute it properly. I didn't want to do this half-a**.'
