People magazine just announced this year's most beautiful woman, giving the title to actress Julia Roberts for the fifth time. (Her first cover was back in 1991, when she was just 23-years-old.)

Just like everyone else, celebrities often experiment with products, treatments, and services to land on what works for them. So if you were to ask a Hollywood veteran his or her favorites, they might know a thing or two. It all comes with a little trial-and-error, and it seems as though Roberts' start in the spotlight didn't come without its own beauty blunders.

Poking your eyes with an eyeliner pen? Now that's something we've all done.
