Julia Roberts says optimism and a sense of humour are the keys to looking beautiful.

The stunning actress says she always feels better about her looks when she is happy with her personal life and as Julia is currently blissfully wed to cameraman DANNY MODER, the father of her five-year-old son Henry and three-year-old twins Phinneas and Hazel, she has never felt more confident.

She told You magazine: ''I think optimism and having a sense of humour definitely help but happiness is something you cultivate. Once you find it, that's the key to looking beautiful.

''That, Lancome eye cream and kissing''.

While Julia is feted for her looks, she says it takes a lot of work to keep her movie star perfect for events.

She said: ''I don't wake up with some sense of fabulosity. I'm perfectly aware of how many people it takes to put this movie star appearance on. I'm a regular person doing an extraordinary job.''

Julia also admitted she doesn't understand why people opt for cosmetic surgery.

She explained: ''With today's science, people have become crazy with trying to move their face around, it's bizarre.''
