How to be groomed

[Partainua]

Hi, just new to mumsnet, found it by chance as I am returning to the workforce and need to look like I fit in. When searching for tips I came across the thread 'how to be groomed' and it was full of v good infor for a novice like myself. Anyway was wondering if there is a similar thread running currently as I didn't have much look finding one.
Need help with skin are, makeup, clothes, hair, the whole thing really so I can return to work with some degree of confidence.
TIA

Just brush your cut hair. Do your eyebrows. Wear appropriate make up. Iron clothes.

Personally I find tidy eyebrows work wonders. I get mine threaded. I don't wear a lot of makeup but I find good brows really lift your face.

Thank you both. Will start with the eyebrows. I'm just clueless and I thought that thread was great. Am reading it at the minute and was just hoping there was a similar one running now as it would have been nice to chat

Can you link to the thread for me please? I'm also in need of some tips!

Hi Hazelbrowneyes,
The thread is here

I am just reading through it now and hopefully I will be better able to groomed for the workplace after being away for so long.
I just don't think my SAHM clothes will cut it.
Hope you find it useful

Come join us on the Operation Renovation thread. We're counting down to Christmas adding small beautifying habits along the way.

Thank you Helga, I will have a look and hopefully I will pick up lots of interesting tips along the way. Busy reading the how to be groomed thread and for the first time in who knows how long, I cleansed and moisturised. Baby steps. But just what I need!

I would echo the eyebrows. Threading is great for this and then fill them in with an eyebrow pencil if you need to. I have my nails done as well and these two things make me feel alot more together. Cost is an issue for me and I dont have a big budget but my nails and eyebrows come to about £35.00 pcm and I try to make sure that I can always have them done.
I also always wear heals and a dress for work. Takes no time to get ready as it is just underwear, tights, dress = Done.

Good luck and enjoy it!
