Olivia Munn wears false eyelashes because of her trichotillomania.

The 33-year-old actress suffers from severe anxiety which led her to start pulling out her eyelashes seven years ago, so she had to come up with an innovative way of disguising the problem using her beauty expertise.

She explained to People magazine: "I just created my own little lash-band with individuals".

Olivia - who revealed the condition came about when she started getting panic attacks at showbiz parties - ensures the false lashes stick on by applying a special powder mix to her eyelids beforehand.

However, the striking brunette refuses to let her trichotillomania affect her confidence and is proud of the way she looks, especially her freckles, which she doesn't like to cover up with make-up.

The 'Magic Mike' star said: "I've had them since I can remember ... it's just my skin. I don't like it when people try to cover them up!"

Olivia says she is low-key when it comes to her daily beauty ritual and all she needs for summer is her favourite Body Shop lip balm and a hair tie to keep her locks off her face.
