You don't need to apply a full face of makeup to look great every day. In fact, according to a former model, there are only two essential steps for guaranteed daily gorgeousness.
Vicky Derosa (@vicky.derosa on TikTok) took to the sharing platform to offer a top piece of makeup advice. She told women to always do their eyebrows and apply mascara before leaving the house.
Vicky said: "There is one most important piece of advice I was given when I was modelling, and it's carried me through all these years."
The former model revealed that 40 years ago, a makeup artist told her to always make sure her eyebrows and eyelashes are done - and she's been doing it ever since.
'Even if you do nothing else when you walk out of the house, always, always shade in your eyebrows'

Vicky said: "A makeup artist said to me, 'Even if you do nothing else when you walk out of the house, always, always shade in your eyebrows'.
"If you have a lot of eyebrows or if you have a little - whatever - fix them. Pencil them in, even if you just brush them - but fix the eyebrows perfectly."
She explained that the eyebrows frame the face, so it's best to focus on them. Once the eyebrows are done, apply a "tiny bit" of mascara.
The makeup artist had stressed the importance of mascara to Vicky, explaining that it's hard to see a person's eyelashes, even when it's dark.
Vicky said: "I have decent eyelashes but they're light, they're blonde, so if I don't have on a little bit of mascara on, I probably look like a fish."
Following the advice for over 40 years, the former model revealed that despite not wearing makeup too often, she always follows these two steps - "I guess it stayed with me".
Plenty of makeup enthusiasts in the comments section backed Vicky's statement. One said: "I agree, [eyebrows] frame the face."
A second stated: "So true, ever since I got my eyebrows micro-bladed I always feel more put together! It was a game-changer!"

A third said: "I don’t wear makeup, just because I’m too lazy, but I agree with the eyebrows 100 per cent. That’s the only thing I do and some lip oil so I don’t look dead."
In another video, Vicky shared the eyeliner trick she learnt in her modelling days. She revealed that despite learning the hack over 40 years ago, she still uses it to this day.
But while anti-ageing makeup hacks work wonders, the right skin care regime can also make a major difference.
