Drew Barrymore has shared the secret to her perfect eye look - she puts her makeup on before she goes to sleep.

The 41-year-old actress, who has her own cosmetic range Flower Beauty, ignores advice to take her products off when she goes to bed for the sake of her skin and instead puts new makeup on her eyes.

She told ALLURE magazine: 'After I do my evening skincare routine, I line my outer lower lashes with soft-black pencil - usually Flower That's So Kohl - before I go to bed.

'It sounds a little crazy': Drew Barrymore, pictured in West Hollywood on Saturday, admitted she sleeps with eyeshadow on in order to get the 'perfect smudgy' look

'It sounds a little crazy, but I wake up with the perfect smudgy eye makeup. I can roll out of bed, do absolutely nothing, and get compliments on my makeup.'

The Miss You Already star says that from day-to-day she is just an average, and often very tired, mother to her two daughters, three year-old Olive and 22-month-old Frankie.

She previously told Women's Wear Daily: 'I feel like a mom who's schlepping her kids around and is tired and running from here to there.

'That is the difference between aspiration and sophistication. I'm not sophisticated. I have knowledge and taste that can be very sophisticated, but my lifestyle is very steeped in reality.'

Picture perfect: Barrymore shared a snap of her radiant makeup on Instagram on Sunday

And Drew loves working on her 'aspirational' beauty brand because she believes that her customers are very similar to her.

She said: 'I think [the average Flower customer] is like me. Which sounds very insular, but I think she has good taste, she knows the difference between quality and something made haphazardly.'

The actress added: 'I love the word aspiration because aspiration can still be realistic, but it's like the better version of you and your life and it is empowering.

Spot on! The actress looked fantastic in a black and white dress in New York in January 2016

Carolina Herrera is known for her classic ladylike style that has drawn an A-list clientele that includes both Hollywood stars and First Ladies alike.

For a recent charity event sponsored by the designer, Drew Barrymore chose a bold polka dot printed dress and matching coat by the brand.

She added in some color to her monochrome ensemble with a pair of orange pointy toe pumps and bright red lipstick and let her hair spill long and loose over her shoulders.

Drew's coat is part of a capsule collection between Carolina Herrera and the Jeffrey boutique and it's currently not available online.

'When you feel good about yourself you project something that is far more confident and empowered and joyful then when you are scrambling and not feeling your best.'

On top of projects that include her makeup-line, Drew as of late has been focused on producing.

The starlet is attached as an executive producer to the film Freak Show, which is now in post-production and scheduled for release later this year.

The film stars Abigail Breslin, AnnaSophia Robb, and Laverne Cox.
