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.

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