A new make-up map of the habits of British women has apparently found that while women in Edinburgh are more likely to go for a blemish-free look, their friends in Liverpool are more likely to go for a St Tropez look.
Further down the map women from Leeds and Essex are more likely to buy false eyelashes and women from London are the most likely to cart their entire makeup bag around for touch ups and a whopping 67% of them apply their makeup on the Tube.
As a Londoner I confess I do carry a make-up bag around for touch ups and in an unlikely event for which I need to add a splash of blue under-eye liner – you never know!! Yes, it’s completely unnecessary but it’s a habit now. I can’t, however, apply my make-up on the Tube but watch in admiration at the women (such as my sister) who even manage to apply eyeliner and mascara on the incredibly irregular journey. The only thing I manage to do on the Tube is stand and move around without falling over like the tourists: pah!
