    I'm a skin and eyes person, that's what i find attractive in others- clear, clean skin and bright eyes.

    So for me, it's a good cleanser, heaps of moisteriser, lots of water, and a good mascara and eyeliner

    An SPF, on my face and body, everyday in summer and winter.

    Plus, neat eyebrows!

    i dont know i think lots of people do lots to make their outsides look good but forget obout thier insides YK? (or maybe that is the fat ugly part of me speaking)
    LOL I could've written that! BTW there have been a number of days in the last 6 weeks when I have still be schlepping around in my PJs at 3pm...so your shower advice is duly noted

    Plus, neat eyebrows!
    Funny you say that as I talked with my friend and it turned out since I last saw her she has started getting her brows waxed. I wondered if this was the secret of her beauty transformation

    MD - I got my eyelashes tinted and brows waxed on a whim last week for the first time ever and the comments have been amazing. Seriously ridiculous, people suggested all sorts from losing weight (who would have known the brows were so heavy, lol) to having botox (which cracked me up as I am petrified of anything like that). But it has made me feel great! So I am a convert now.....
    I also try and moisturise in the morning, SPF on the face and drink heaps of water and walk for a bit each day.
    Let me know if you find out your friends secret, maybe it is a secret love, lol!

    I think getting your brows done professionally shapes your whole face. It's like an instant pick-me-up (i'm getting mine done on thurs .
    I make sure i wear sunscreen on my face everyday, and use a good quality face cleanser in the shower.
    if i'm wearing make-up, then i think curling your lashes is essential!

    apart from the usual daily things like cleansing & moisturising it's definitely eyebrows for me. if mine get too unruly, then i feel just messy & ungroomed - no matter how groomed the rest of me is! as soon as they're done again, i feel much better!

    it's closely followed by hair & nails. both of which have unfortunately fallen by the wayside since i was PG

    I think a good (brand) moisturiser, cleanser, exfolient & specific eye cream is a must... Just spend the money on it, I believe it is worth it! I have great skin and have been told this all my life so I always used the cheaper stuff cause I thought there was no need to splash out cause 1. my skin was already great and 2. was lead to believe by many woman that the cheap stuff is really the same as the expensive stuff but in different packaging Since using the expensive stuff I can't believe the difference, my great skin went to flipping unbelievable skin! Other must haves are the professional eyebrow shaping (not just a wax of your natural curve but a proper shape) and it's important your hair is healthy, if you can't afford to maintain your regrowth just stick to one colour which you can buy in a packet which is close to your natural colour. Plus if you drink loads of water and stay away from too many toxins in foods and substances your eyes should be free from red blood vessels and your skin will be glowing Than you have the perfect canvas and if you do want to highlight it for a quick trip down the street you can add some mascara and a light colour lippy or if you are going out on the town go all the way eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush etc
