I feel this, my hair is like a dandelion puff! I find a low neat bun (my hair is only about chin/neck length) with a silk scrunchie and the help of hair pins and serum gets me almost put together looking hahahLoving this thread. The bit I struggle with is my hair. I am hopeless with updo's and putting my hair up so it looks classy, but ponytails can be so dull. I bought one of those hair bun donuts but then I had lots of hair sticking out. Oh to look classier!
Get your make up and hair done professionally, it will be impossible then not to look good in the photos! XSorry to hijack the thread but I can't create my own and can't find anything else of a similar nature in Advice. It's my Son's wedding this month and I absolutely CANNOT take a good photograph! I'm too self-conscious and end up either gurning like a loon or looking like I've the weight of the world on my shoulders!! I really want at least one good photo of me with the happy couple and wider family group but absolutely dreading the whole "posing experience"! Any advice?

Lash lift is by far my favorite beauty treatment!a lash lift and tint
I’m currently looking into eyelash lift and tint but a bit nervous! How long does the process of getting it done last?Lash lift is by far my favorite beauty treatment!

Totally get that, the lovely lady who does mine also has the most soothing voice, I love a little nap while I’m thereAbout 45mins - I find it weirdly relaxing! Could happily fall asleep while it’s being done
For me personally:
- Ironed clothes are a must. It's very basic, but a lot of people look unkept because they can't be bothered to iron anything.
- Shiny hair with clean and neat ends. I'm not saying you need to splash on expensive oils, but healthy looking hair goes a long way. You don't always need hot tools either if you spend a few minutes styling your hair.
- Nails - again, you don't need to splash and get those get / acrylic nails every other week, but neat natural nails/cuticles with perhaps a clear nail polish is sufficient. I actually think long acrylic / gel nails with patterns, flowers etc.. look incredibly tacky.
- Subtle perfume - Not the Mademoiselle Chanel that one can smell from a thousand miles away, but a subtle scent.
- Neat and natural eyebrows (not the square ones that look horrific on anyone)
- No fake than / orange hands
- Basic oral hygiene
- Discreet accessories (thin gold bracelet or necklace or ring)
- Skin - it's important to take care of your skin obviously, but hormones play a huge part, so I would never say someone looks unkept because their skin is struggling a bit. It's ridiculous. Of course, one should take appropriate measures (adjust diet, use recommended skin scare, see a dermatologist when possible), but sometimes your skin is going through a rough patch and you have to accept it. Use a nice BB cream instead of caked makeup to conceal. It's worse.
- No eyelash extensions especially those that look like cheap fake lashes from Primark (the super black and thick ones). It's not a good look at all.
The OP only asked what you do to look groomed and polished. Not an opinion on other peoples choice of nails, tan, make up, perfume or eyebrows. This is very judgemental.For me personally:

I’ve never had a lash lift sorry but I have a last tint and I just adore the results. Hope you enjoy your treatmentsI booked a lash lift and tint for the end of the month I’ve never had either!! So excited, what should I expect exactly?
Thanks lovely, how long did you find the lash tint lasted?I’ve never had a lash lift sorry but I have a last tint and I just adore the results. Hope you enjoy your treatments
You’ll love it! Honestly you just lay down and close your eyes, they stick your eyelashes up onto this little platform thing (doesn’t hurt or anything) to lift them with some chemicals then usually tint after. I sometimes get a bit of a sting when I open my eyes again but I wear contacts (which you can’t for the process btw so if you do, take your glasses) and my eyes are sensitive. It’s really relaxing, I’ve nearly fallen asleep before!I booked a lash lift and tint for the end of the month I’ve never had either!! So excited, what should I expect exactly?
I tend to have it done monthly and I can tell it’s about due thenThanks lovely, how long did you find the lash tint lasted?
