Everything is Washable* and Other Life Lessons

Product Information

I also love the personable way in which the book is written - Sali's approach feels direct, genuine and with a sharp sense of humour.

At the moment I’m using Shiseido’s Ultimune Defence Refresh Mist and I’m also a paid-up subscriber to Skin+Me, which sends me a tretinoin, niacinamide and azelaic acid cream each month. Hughes presented an edition of the BBC Radio 4 programme File on 4 in October 2020 about her experiences as a victim of abusive comments from internet trolls. Fashion is a subjective section, I think if you like Sali's style posts on IG you may enjoy this chapter.NARS, Vieve and Viseart palettes are hard to beat in terms of texture, colour and blend-ability, so if I need proper make-up for something dressy, I’ll just grab one of those in whatever colour scheme I fancy. I also carry a red liner for evening – usually NARS ‘Juan-Les-Pins’, which is the perfect orangey red.

Then I use a moisturiser followed by either makeup with SPF in it, or a dedicated SPF if I'm going to be outside for any length of time, followed by makeup. Listened to this as an Audiobook over past month and have loved all the pearls of wisdom it contains . On the much tweeted about subject of upbringing / success and perceived privilege, but on a cheerier note: Who is the most famous or successful person who went to your school? I also never heard either of my parents talk negatively or otherwise about how they looked, which I think gives you a good grounding because then beauty becomes a fun, life-enhancing thing and not a battle you're trying to win. I can’t live without eye crayons – they’re the easiest eyeshadows ever, especially if you wear glasses like I do.

Having run away from her home in Wales to London the age of 14, Hughes had a lot of growing up to do, and fast.

There are two that cover me for every eventuality, and they’re both proper wooden pencils rather than those plastic push-up things that are never sharp enough.My favourites are Bobbi Brown’s Long Wear Cream Shadow Stick in ‘Taupe’ or ‘Sand Dune’, or the Vieve Eye Wand in ‘Old Gold’ or ‘Coffee’.
