#SheTaughtMe – The Best Life Advice She’s Ever Given You
Laura
I have loads... Use rosewater for nice skin, always take your makeup off properly before bed, use SPF, use tea bags (once they’ve been used and have been put in the fridge for a bit) to ease dark puffy eyes. And to always dry your hair properly or risk getting a cold head and a sniffle!
Cassie
My mum taught me that whatever skincare product you put on your face, to always apply it to your neck too. Your neck ages quickly and you can't do anything about it!
Emily C
My Mum taught me to remember that things will always get better - that you'll look back at the things that worried or upset you years later and be grateful for them. But in that moment, a cup of tea makes everything better! She also taught me the importance of opting for shades - whether that's hair dye or makeup - that actually suit my skin tone!
Emilia
My mum told me to always wear SPF 50 on your face, every day to protect your skin from ageing!
Lydia
My mum always told me never to overpluck my eyebrows!

Bibi
Be gentle when removing eye makeup. My mum taught me not to rub hard or drag the cotton pad when removing eye makeup, as the skin is so much more gentle under your eyes and you’ll end up getting wrinkles earlier!
Meg R
My Mum always told me to wear matching underwear, in case I end up in some sort of accident and go to hospital so it's not embarrassing! And my Grandma taught me to always get ready as if you might to accidentally bump into your favourite celebrity, and will want to take a good picture with them!
Hannah G
My Mum taught me that less is more when it comes to makeup. She's never worn much makeup herself and therefore has really great skin because of this. She always taught me to embrace my natural self and be confident in my own skin too.
Willow
That you need to find good skincare that works for you!
Emily H
To always wash my makeup off before bed and that a bubble bath solves everything!
Charlotte
The best advice my mum gave me was to always pat under eye cream in using your ring finger (because apparently has less muscle power to drag the skin). And to always put a light shimmery colour under your eyebrow arch to make your eye *pop*.

I'm someone who loves getting glammed up, but I feel like I never have enough time. Frequently running between work, the gym and seeing friends means my makeup routine is quick and often touched up on the go. Therefore, beauty products that serve as multi-purpose are perfect for me - a blush that works for cheeks and lips is a must in my makeup bag!
