While Margot Robbie and her beauty routine are now trending because of the blockbuster Wuthering Heights movie, my fellow shopping editors at HELLO! Online and I have been keeping our eyes out for the Australian star’s favorites for a while now.
For example, this major find: did you know a French drugstore dry oil was key in making Margot look so radiant on screen for her star turn with Brad Pitt in the movie Babylon? And you can shop the multitasking Embryolissé Beauty Oil, which can be used for face, hair and body, for under $30.
AT A GLANCE
Margot Robbie stars in the new adaptation of Wuthering Heights.
The 35-year-old actress has previously put her onscreen glow down to a French pharmacy staple.

You may have already heard of Embryolissé, since Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow are famous celebrity fans of the beauty brand’s $19 / £17.79 Lait-Crème Concentré. The enriching multi-purpose cream is another versatile beauty buy which can be used as anything from a primer to a body moisturizer.
But it was the Embryolisse Huile de Beauté, “beauty oil” in French, that gave Margot her alluring glow for the three-time Oscar nominated film. The non-greasy beauty wonder nourishes and softens skin with a blend of natural shea, apricot, lemon and pomegranate oils.

Makeup artist Heba Thorisdottir revealed the behind-the-scenes beauty secret in an interview with Popsugar, crediting “lots of Embryolisse Body Oil” for Margot’s on-screen radiance as starlet Nellie in the 1920s Hollywood-set movie.
Margot, who used a skin-perfecting spray for her all over radiance at the Oscars, has now topped the box office charts with Barbie, for which her look was created with Chanel beauty both on and off screen.

Some even coined Margot’s glow as the ‘Barbie glow’.
“The Barbie glow is all about embracing your personal style and beauty; there’s a multiplicity of versions of how that glow would shine,” Margot’s Barbie makeup artist Pati Dubroff told Vogue. “For me, the most beautiful glow is one that shows healthy vibrant skin and light that’s emanating from an inner place of confidence and feeling one’s most beautiful.”
The celebrity MUA later continued: “A glow that is not made up purely of cosmetics it’s the one that’s most aspirational from within. That’s real beauty.”
Is Embryolisse Beauty Oil worth the spend?
I’ve tried this oil myself and as someone who’s tried their fair share of beauty products, I’d say it is one of the better ones. It’s lightweight, and sinks into the skin easy – there’s no leftover residue, and you only need to leave it a minute or two before putting on your clothes. I used it straight from the shower, and it definitely left my skin with a slight glow; the more consistently I used it, the more of a glow my skin had naturally.
The scent isn’t too overpowering, so if you’re sensitive to stronger smells I think you’d find this palatable. The bottle lasts ages too; you really don’t need much to cover your whole body, and the pump – rather than being a ‘pour’ bottle – means wastage is at a minimum. A super important aspect in my opinion, as it’s on the more expensive side for a body oil.
Shoppers on the whole agree with my thoughts on this oil; “a light, moisturising day dream with a warm, brightening effect. The first time I’ve bought this. It’s a little more expensive than I usually buy, but I’m pleased with the results”, one wrote on Amazon. “This light, fragrant oil feels amazing on my skin. It doesn’t leave any sort of greasy feel; it sinks in very quickly,” another wrote. Others commented on the fragrance, how the slight “musk” scent is warming and yet fresh.
