I've read so many books like this over the years but I am yet to find one that gives any helpful or useful advice or insight . I do walk a lot, and that's important for my head and my body, but I'm not an exerciser and I’m not very engaged with wellness! Whether she is espousing the benefits of always having WD40 nearby, dispensing tips on making the perfect risotto or explaining the importance of talking to your children about porn the book is full of tips for living well. A lot of the guides needed beefing up - helping grieving friends needs more than a few paragraphs and the lists of what you need in a kitchen/etc. I use it to apply primer, foundation, bronzer, blush – anything liquid or cream looks better when it goes on with this, and it washes like a dream too.

She is also Beauty Editor on The Guardian, where she is known for her intelligent, straight-talking advice and honest product recommendations which are recognised across the beauty industry as having “the Delia effect” on sales. If you are unable to join at the time of streaming, this event will be available to watch on demand in the days following. Two years later she released her second book Pretty Iconic which was about influential beauty products. I always have a red on me, because you never know when you might need to look instantly more dressed up.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. That's why, when I created my skincare line Sali Hughes x Revolution, I wanted to give them something straightforward: here are the ingredients you need in your skincare, and here is what to use and when.

I can relate fully to all this delicious wisdom apart from having wet hair (I think its sexy at any time or place! We caught up with Sali before the release of her latest book, Everything is Washable* and Other Life Lessons (4th estate, 15th September) to discover her best beauty hacks and just why she decided to launch her very own skincare range.

My favourites are Charlotte Tilbury’s The Classic Dark Brown Powder Eye Pencil, which has a foolproof and very flattering softness to it, the Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal in ‘Cocoa’ (you need to leave it a minute to set before blending) and Hindash's Eye Tone in ‘Intra’. 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? Maybe if you are very interested in Sali Hughes the media personality you will like this book (much like I enjoyed Whisky in a Teacup, mainly because of its appeal as Reese Witherspoon merch).I'm very happy to look 47 but I want to look good at 47; I don't see why I need to have number 11 lines between my eyes if I don't want to, so I get Botox. If I’m going out or hosting an event and want to ramp up the coverage, I’ll use the Suqqu Liquid Foundation or Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue. At night, use an oil-based cleansing balm to shift make-up and sunscreen, then either a retinol or your morning serum again, and follow up with a night cream if needed.
