At the 1989 Academy Awards, Streep arrived with a nomination for best actress for her role in "A Cry in the Dark." We can see in the photo above Streep's natural blond hair. At the event, she wore her hair in a ponytail with a side-swept part. Her cheeks were flushed with blush, and she wore red lipstick, too. Meryl Streep also has three daughters, and one of them, Louisa Jacobson, also has naturally blond hair.

In Hollywood, it's common for actors and entertainers to get plastic surgery, especially as they age. But Meryl Streep is not one of them. In fact, she has an iconic response to those who wonder why she hasn't gotten plastic surgery. According to The List, Streep believes that getting work done is similar to wearing a veil. Instead, she chooses to embrace her features as she ages. 

Streep also has a simple skincare routine. In fact, her number one beauty tip doesn't cost a thing. According to The Daily Mail, one of her most important tips is to never touch your face. Dermatologist Dr. Nicole Chiang said, 'I would agree with Meryl Streep's advice and I would advise people not to touch their face too much," as doing so can spread bacteria. We're so glad to know that it's something so simple that keeps the star looking great. Perhaps we can follow that advice, too.
