WE CHECK out all of the pampering and luxury treatments that will be used on pop superstars Taylor Swift, Madonna and Sam Smith tonight.
Not only are the BRIT Awards the biggest and best event in the music calendar but they're also just another excuse for the celebs to get dolled up.
We were wondering what sort of treatments keep the stars looking so fresh-faced and gorgeous so we booked into the Beauty Seen exclusive spa backstage to find out.
And we couldn't resist trying out a celebrity makeover for ourselves as well.
After walking under the famous O2 arena stage and past the dressing rooms of Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Royal Blood and Take That, we finally reach the stars' luxury spa - and it doesn't disappoint.
It's cool, glamorous and trendy and has music from all the BRIT artists playing, a pick 'n' mix display in the corner and a photobooth with props for fun pictures.
The spa is made up of five sections each offering a different beauty treatment, from golden brown tanning, beautiful nail design, flawless make-up transformations and more.
We check in with professional nail design brand Priv first and go for a shiny pink gel paint which we're told doesn't chip and dries instantly.
Manicurist Eloise also lets us in on a few celebrity nail secrets.
She said: "Nicole Scherzinger has the most beautiful nails I've ever seen.
"The worst would have to be The X Factor contestants, Jahmene in particular was the absolute worst."
After getting our nails filed, painted and polished, we head to get over to the Simple section for a facial.
But it isn't as relaxing as you'd think. The 15 minute vigorous workout is designed to get all the bones in the face moving, open pores and cleanse the skin.
After the intense process - which can spot signs of tension just from feeling the jaw - we're left feeling fresh-faced and revitalised.

Our next stop is hair and the professional stylists from VO5 get to work on our tresses.
The UK's number one styling brand, who have worked with some of the biggest celebrity stars including Rita Ora and Emeli Sande, are focusing on natural beachy waves this year and claim they are the favourite look with celebs at the moment.
In just a few minutes, we're transformed from plain Jane to glam diva.
Next up is make-up and the experts from new beauty brand B. get to work on our big celebrity transformation.
B. are the official make-up brand for the BRITs this year and are one of the only brands that are cruelty free, vegan and gentle on sensitive skin.
The make-up artist tells us that the stars will be getting either the smoky eye or big, bold lips look for tonight's awards do.
We opt for the smoky eye look and are told that this style is still a popular one with celebs.
Now, not only do our eyes look dark and smouldering but the flawless foundation is excellent at covering up blemishes and by the end of the experience, we barely recognise ourselves.
Lastly, we finish off the look with a golden brown spray tan that will ensure the celebs are all glowing tonight.
Organic, non-toxic tanning brand Vita Liberata promise that their brand is better than others and not only dries quickly but is also odourless and can be topped up with their own bronzing powders.
Ella Henderson is a big fan of Vita Liberata and might even be popping by the spa today to top up her tan before finding out if she's won the gong for British Female Solo Artist tonight.
A bronzed glow finishes off our makeover beautifully and we're now ready to collect our award.
If only we'd been nominated...
