Quit drinking!
I’ve recently bought a whole new make up kit so would probably choose a skincare item if I won 🙂

Cannot believe I only recently learned how much difference it makes to line your upper lashes from underneath. So pushing the product into the lashes and along the top water line. Absolutely life changing!

To do what makes you happiest.

TheLadyMaud · 08/03/2025 09:25

Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly ( sunscreen).

Know your colour palette. To know which make up shades, clothes, hair colour suit you. Spring, Summer , Autumn or a winter. Can make you look your most beautiful.

Wear sunscreen in all weathers. Sun is the biggest factor in premature ageing and it is caused by UVA rays. UVB rays make you tan and are a risk in sunny weather whereas UVA rays are present even on the gloomiest days. So sunscreen must be on always, both outside and inside, as well as in the car, as UVA rays can penetrate the windows too.
I have been wearing sunscreen religiously and my skin is absolutely fantastic at nearly 46.

@BigLooser
why would you need to wear spf indoors?

I agree. Combined with knowing my body shape. I’ve had so many more compliments since knowing these two things.

Use a muslin cloth not tissue or cotton wool to remove make up and clean skin.
always treat your neck and décolletage the same and use same product.
wear a perfume that suits you.
I would like the blusher.

NewJobNewMeNewLife · 08/03/2025 19:41

My tip would be, it is the ingredients that matter in your skincare/ cosmetics and not the brand/ price point.
I could have saved £££ if I’d realised sooner,

Drink water, at least 1.5 Larson a day, your skin will glow.
I would purchase creamy eyeshadow.

BlingLoving · 10/03/2025 10:04

What happened to the Friday winner announcement? @MaddyMumsnet

Where can I get these Larsons from?

orangegato · 10/03/2025 16:02

Mine’s a really simple one. To take your makeup off properly! My friend used to go ballistic when I produced face wipes and promptly told me to wash it off instead. It really makes a difference to skin.

Best tip is to drink water

If I won, I'd buy Stay the Day Shadow stick, I do love conturing

@BigLooser
why would you need to wear spf indoors?

Light from phone, computer screens, tablets,sunlight through windows?

TheQueensCousin · 11/03/2025 18:20

Always, always double cleanse on a night. The first cleanse doesn't remove everything. I also use a 'rough' facecloth to wash off the cleanser.
If I won I'd love the eyeliner in Twig as I'm really trying to wean myself off black eyeliner as I age!

LittlePositanoLemon · 11/03/2025 19:18

@MaddyMumsnet Ooh thank you so much! 💕

Sleepybumble · 11/03/2025 21:28

Love the look of the lip saviour oil. My other top tip is hydration, you can't moisturise skin just from the outside. It needs to come from what your drinking too. I purposely increased my water intake and have received lots of compliments, and people asking what products I use. I've changed nothing other than the amount I drink religiously every day

Deathraystare · 12/03/2025 13:40

oddbox · 04/03/2025 14:48

A friend recommended white eyeliner to me. It really makes your eyes pop!

Also, I think I'd buy this lipstick in Tango colour if I won the prize draw!

I used to use a white liner but now find a 'flesh' one (nude/beige) kinder now I am older. Max Factor make a good one that I got from Amazon.

jacqui5366 · 12/03/2025 15:04

best tip, babywipes make the best cleansers for removing make up

Olinguito · 13/03/2025 01:10

I only discovered primer in recent years, for face and eyes, and find it greatly improves the appearance and staying-power of make-up.
Another tip would be to mix shades of foundation together to get tone you need, particularly at different times of year.

If i won I would probably buy the smokey eye kit:

bigkahunaburger · 13/03/2025 15:47

Wear lipliner as lipstick. It then last all day - even when Im sweaty at the gym and going swimming. Remarkable.

lovemyflipflops · 15/03/2025 13:06

Cleanse and moisturise every day, and use witch hazel - my gran swears by this for skincare.
