Question:
What are the best beauty investments I can make? Is it buying the best skincare? Having regular facials? Going to the hairdresser? Please streamline my beauty budget.

Answer:
There are lots of good beauty investments, but I have a few must-have suggestions for you.
- A compact mirror with a normal mirror and a magnifying mirror so you can see if your make-up is correctly applied.
- A manicure once a fortnight, whether you do it yourself or have it done professionally. The best nail shapes are either oval or a softened square.
- A facial every six to eight weeks for a deep clean or a nourishing treatment, depending on your skin type. If you have all the products, do this at home more regularly.
- An all-in-one styling brush and blow dryer. You can create a smooth, slick style or give hair lots of body.
- A facial mist to rehydrate skin and set make-up.
- A heavy, all-purpose cream for softening lips, cuticles, hands and heels.
- A classic make-up brush collection: blush brush; a few eyeshadow brushes, including one that’s rounded and fluffy; an angled brush for liners and eyebrows; a comb and bristle brush for eyebrows and lashes and a lip brush.
- And lastly, a great pair of tweezers.
