Barbara from Kempston

An Even Tan

Mix a little fake tan with your foundation before applying to your face each day to build up to a nice gradual, even tan.

Tanning Accidents

If you have a self tanning accident and end up with streaky bits, apply a little whitening toothpaste to the area and leave for 15 mins. It lessens the marks! Genius.

Mandy from Shefford

Dried Out Mascaras

Dried out mascaras in need of replacing can get a little more use if you run the brush under running water, replace the brush in the tube and shake gently. Saves you buying a new one for another couple of months!

Sandra from Nottingham

Split Ends

To remove split ends, take small sections of hair and carefully twist in a downward motion. Any split ends should automatically stick out and just snip them off with sharp scissors! (Best for hair that is one length).

Jessica from Bedford

Oily Skin

If you suffer from oily skin, choose a foundation colour that's a shade lighter than your skin tone. The oil will darken your skin tone naturally.

June from Bolton

Damaged Hair Repair
