MAKE-UP IS 8-YEAR SLOG

But the good news is that practice makes perfect – and by the time they reach 21 women have perfected their beauty regime.

A poll revealed that a woman finds her make-up maturity age after eight years of experimenting with blusher, lipstick and eyeliner.

Almost 70 per cent of the women quizzed by Clothes Show Live said they found a look that suits them by 21, after starting at 13, and stick with the same look for years.

Former presenter of The Clothes Show, Caryn Franklin, said: “By the time a women turns 21, they seem to have learnt what suits them best.”

Top mistakes include using the wrong colour foundation.
