Lily Cole's "porcelain doll" face landed her a movie role.

The British model - who is known for her pale complexion and auburn curly hair - can thank her "extraordinary" looks for helping her land the part in Terry Gilliam's 'The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus'.

He said: "I needed someone extraordinary looking. She's an extraordinary physical specimen. Firstly, there's that face that looks like it belongs to a 19th-century porcelain doll. And then, fantastically, it's on top of this fall structure. But as you look down this structure, it's not some flat-chested model. It's a girl with boobs, and then you have legs that go to the ceiling. He's almost like an alien specimen."

I wear SPF make-up, but I don't apply SPF on its own unless I know I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the sun.

Because of her pale skin-tone, the 21-year-old beauty always wears make-up with an inbuilt sun protection factor (SPF) to protect her from damaging sun rays.

She explained: "I wear SPF make-up, but I don't apply SPF on its own unless I know I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the sun."

Lily, who has replaced supermodel Kate Moss as the new face of Rimmel cosmetics, added she loves wearing make-up and is delighted to front the British make-up brand.

She explained to Britain's Elle magazine: "It's a fun brand. And it's nice that it's so long-established in British culture.

"I don't sleep under a flag or anything. But when I'm abroad, people are very aware I'm British, so it's nice to be working with brands from this country. And they obviously have a good repertoire of girls working for them, so it's nice to be part of that."
