Much like her pop namesake Taylor Swift, chart-topper Taylor Dayne was the trendsetter of her day, with millions rushing to emulate her signature red lipped look and crimped hair.

Earlier this year she embarked on a tour of the US and in an interview with The Sun, shared her ageless beauty secrets.

As well as Vitamin C, sunblock and using intense pulse light beams on her face, she praised Bobbi Brown moisturiser and lipgloss.

The singer also shared the secrets behind her slim physique, saying: "I work out, I'm very active on my diet. What that means is what I'm putting in is what I'm getting out.

"I do Pilates two to three times a week. You'll also see me out on a hike."

"As we're ageing, we must stretch. I also do breathing and meditation.

Born in New York City, Taylor started cut her teeth singing with indie pop bands and released two dance singles Tell Me Can You Love Me and I Am The One You Want released in 1985 and 1986 respectively.
