Just that really. I have always felt that I don’t look as nice as I could look, if only I made a bit more effort. I just don’t know where to start. Any tips?

I agree Inliverpool1. I could do with losing a few stone but I'm going to cut out extras and empty calories and move more. There's no point in obsessing. Slow is better.

I do very little, wash and leave my hair once or twice a week, it is wavy and the only thing I need to do is keep frizz at bay. I work out a lot, so I'm toned but not skinny. I'm usually in running/gym gear and trainers, but always decent stuff. I own a Philips Lumea so no leg hair problems.
My biggest asset is my long thick wavy black hair. It makes it look as though I have made a lot of effort, whereas in reality I've barely dragged myself out of bed, and am just counting down the minutes until I can go for a run.

  • Hair well cut and coloured (no visible greys), not overly styled but clean and very shiny
  • Dior Nail Glow on my fingernails and Shellac on toe nails
  • Lovely perfume
  • A wardrobe of good quality basics as a foundation for any outfit

Find a really great lipstick which suits you, ideally something bold (not a nude).

Then as PP have said, nails, toes, defuzz, condition, moisturise and find some simple pretty jewellery to wear on a daily basis. And a light perfume Smile

For me it’s
Haircut and roots touched up every 6 weeks
Nails polished - I have phases of gel polish then it ruins my nails so spend a few months doing them myself
Everything you wear clean, ironed and well fitting
I always wear perfume
Eyebrow shape and wax plus eyelash tint - I don’t wear make up
Try and maintain a reasonable weight
I try and dress for my shape and colouring - usually good quality plain versatile pieces (I cant do capsule wardrobe as I like lots and lots of choices)
