The beauty secrets girls keep to themselves

Did you know the average woman hides ninebeauty rituals from her partner? They make up our Secret Beauty Behaviours (SBB), which is quite frankly none of his business! From waxing our mos to perfecting ‘no make-up’ make-up, these are the hidden measures we take to look primped and preened 24/7.

1. We wear a face mask at night.

So we can wake up looking radiant – and stay that way all day long.

bh recommends:KORA Organics Hydrating Mask, Lush Cosmetic Warrior, Alpha-H Liquid Gold Smoothing and Perfecting Mask

2. We fake tan every Thursday, just in time for the weekend, so no sleepovers allowed.

This bronzed glow? Yeah, it doesn’t just happen. #sorrynotsorry

bh recommends:M.A.C Temperature Rising Bronzing Oil, Le Tan Wash Off Bronze, Chi Chi Solarium in a Mist, ModelCo Instant Tan Self Tan Lotion

3. As much as we’d like to, we don’t wake up looking flawless.

It takes effort, patience and tools to get there. But we’ve got it down to a fine art.

bh recommends:Philips Pro Dryer, Lady Jayne Porcupine Radical Brush, Aveda Volumizing Tonic, Sebastian Professional Form Re-Shaper

4. Just like our legs, we shave and wax our toe hairs.

Didn’t see that one coming, did ya?!

bh recommends:Kiehl’s Pink Eagle Leg Shave Foam, Waxaway Precision Wax Wand, Gillette Venus Tropical Disposables

5. That figure-hugging dress looks so damn good thanks to these babies:

Go figure.

6.  Our brow game is strong because they’re tinted. Yep, tinted.

Sometimes, what your mumma gave you just ain’t enough. We need a little help in the dye department.

bh recommends:Australis Tint My Brow, 1000 Hour Eyelash & Brow Dye Kit

7. Those beautiful, long lashes you compliment all the time? They’re fake.

Luscious lashes are our thing. And yours too, apparently!

bh recommends:Revlon Lashes Beyond Natural Glue-on Lashes, MAC 46 Lash

8. Even when we’re “not wearing make-up”, we’re wearing make-up.

With the exception of weekends. Those days are truly cosmetics-free.

bh recommends:Innoxa Skin Perfecting Foundation 5 in 1 BB Cream, Bobbi Brown Moisturising Cream Compact Foundation, Natio Pure Mineral Skin Perfecting BB Cream

9. We like an after-five shadow on you, but not on us.

If you knew, you’d agree that the mo’s gotta go.

bh recommends:Nair Sensitive Precision Hair Removal Cream, Andrea Gentle Hair Remover for the Face
