Holly Willoughby has the longest, fullest lashes, and her makeup artist Patsy O’Neil has revealed the exact mascara she uses to achieve them.
Despite having access to any luxury beauty product, the TV star still turns to affordable makeup brand NYX. The popular 'Worth The Hype' waterproof mascara not only tints, curls and lengthens lashes, it’s also ideal to use during the warmer months as it’s heat, sweat and water-resistant.
Writing on Holly’s lifestyle website Wylde Moon this summer, Patsy said: "This affordable and effective mascara by NYX does what it says on the tin. It’s an ideal mascara for short lashes in need of added length and volume. The brush coats even the smallest lash hairs without feeling heavy or clumping together. This mascara is easy to remove, and at this price it’s definitely worth a try."
We have to agree. On sale at £7.99 down from £9.35, it’s so affordable, proving you don’t need to spend upwards of £20 to transform your lashes.
The clever formula includes Jojoba oil, which means you can comfortably wear the mascara all day with no irritation. It also keeps your eyelashes soft and healthy in the long term.
NYX recommends applying with the brush from root to tip in a zigzag motion for the best results. It has a tapered end for precise application, reaching even the tiniest baby lashes in the corners.
Several reviews are testament to its powers, with one writing: "This was absolutely awesome. My favourite mascara by far, it really is waterproof and makes my lashes look fuller."
While another said: "I have tried *a lot* of mascaras, many irritate my eyes, many smudge or flake, and many barely coat my sparse lashes or they clump them together. This one does none of the above - an absolute keeper! Love it."

“The goal for me is always really hydrated, nourished, dewy, glowy, yummy, glazed skin, and the way I get that is by layering products.

Maya Jama: Bio-Oil
Jama Maya: Bio-Oil Bio-Oil Skincare Oil
Maya says:
"I’ve been using Bio-Oil for years. In my house, my mum always had it for stretch marks or scars and things like that. Straight after the shower, if you’re a little bit damp and you put it on, in my mind it locks in moisture more. But I don’t know if that’s a fact! So yeah, Bio-Oil, I douse myself in that."
Other celebrity fans:
- Kim Kardashian: "I love Bio-Oil. It's cheap, and it really works!"
- Natalie Portman: "I used Bio-Oil throughout my pregnancy and afterwards. It's a really affordable, effective way to prevent stretch marks and keep skin hydrated."

- Kourtney Kardashian: "I'm obsessed with Bio-Oil. I use it all over my body after a shower, and it's amazing for keeping my skin soft and smooth."
Bio-Oil was first designed to treat stretch marks and scars and continues to be very popular with pregnant women. But it also works wonders with hydrating dry skin, boosting elasticity and reducing hyperpigmentation.
