Laura Whitmore shares her beauty secrets - from bushy brows to getting an all-over tan

Love Island’s Laura Whitmore has revealed the secret weapon in her summer beauty routine – hubby Iain Stirling.

The glamorous presenter, who has collaborated with Boots on a new ‘feel good’ project said that she calls on Iain to help when it comes to self-tanning.

She said: “Sometimes you need a bit of help with the back bits, so you have to get your other half to help, but we’ve all been there. That’s what love is.”

Laura has teamed up with Boots – who have seen a huge 158 per cent growth in tanning sales  – on their ‘Feel Good as New’ project, to help people have the confidence to get ready and get out again this summer as the nation preps for post-lockdown life.

Speaking about what she missed during lockdown, she said: “When prepping for a night out, my favourite part is getting the girls over, having a catch up and getting ready together, we all end up sharing make-up tips – I missed this a lot throughout lockdown.”

All about the brows

Her new go-to when it comes to make-up for a night out is all about the brows.  She said: “There’s always a new fad, and the moment it’s all about the brows, the bushy brows, and Boots has some great brands like Fenty and Anastasia Beverley Hills for brow products.

“I’m new to that because I never really cared about the brows before and now, I’ve learned they frame the face, so that’s my new beauty hack – start with the brows. Forget everything else and start with your brows.”

In a short film with the UK’s leading beauty retailer, celebrity hair stylist George Northwood – who created Meghan Markle’s ‘undone chignon’ look for her wedding reception – was on hand to offer some hands-on hair tips when he joined her in the Boots flagship store in London’s Covent Garden.

Boots has launched 54 new beauty brands including Drunk Elephant, Anastasia Beverley Hills and UOMA throughout lockdown.

And as the nation prepares to get ready to get back out there this summer, Boots has seen a 145 per cent increase in self-selection cosmetics  – with mascara proving to be the best-selling product.
