I have never worn make up! Wouldnt have a clue what to buy or what to do with it - but want to start wearing it - any recommendadtions?

Never worn shoes with a heel, only wear trainers or flat boots - can you learn to wear heels? I always fall over!

What do i do with my hair? Its waist lenght and chestnut colour and very thick but also very frizzy and doesnt react to straighteners well (its wavy at the bottom) How should i have it? (it hasnt been cut for yrs )

What should a 22 year old be wearing? I want to look more my age but havent a clue where to start!

I need an mn makeover!

Moto jeans (top shop)are good if you can't afford 7s (I can't sadly...)

It's a day out itself just to decipher Gap's sizes!

TheFish · 12/12/2005 10:10

but nutty is always tryong to get us to put her onto susannah and trinny

TheFish · 12/12/2005 10:10

(* just add 2 sizes)

tamba · 12/12/2005 10:12

I have never plucked my eyebrows either! it just looks painful!

I always thought rackams made you look like a clown (red lipsticks etc) do they still do that? wheres best for make up advice?

NewBethlehemGirlwithsparkles · 12/12/2005 10:12

Go down sizes!

For example, I'm a 10 but always have to get a GAP 6 (sometimes 4 )

NewBethlehemGirlwithsparkles · 12/12/2005 10:13

You could try Boots also for makeup.

If you go to one of the counters they apply the make up for you so you can see what it's like. Clinique are pretty good.

Tamba - They won't let you use the credit cardto pay over the counter unless your name is on the card too. Either get cash off DH, take his debit card and get the cash out yourself or take your own credit card (if you have one).

dorothy perkins not exciting enough for a 22 year old IMO and doesn't do a very wide range. A big Top Shop would be much better (presumably Brum has a massive one??).

tamba · 12/12/2005 10:23

I dont know... have never been shopping in the bullring, I usually go to Solihull or our local matalan.

NomDePlumPudding · 12/12/2005 10:25

Bullring is fabbo, IMO. I'd come to brum and escort you, but it'll have to be after Christmas now (too much on in the week between now and then).

Eh ? [confused emoticon]
