You look good enough to eat Tuesday
Forget adopting a baby from a war-torn/developing world country.
Or wearing a dress made of safety pins down the red carpet.
Nowadays a celeb needs just one thing to rocket them to the A-list: their own skincare and beauty line.
Don’t believe me? Just look at those who have already got us poring over their pore unblocker or dolloping on their anti-ageing cream...
Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, Harry Styles, Rihanna, Idris Elba, Ariana Grande, Scarlett Johansson, Alicia Keys, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga... it’s like reading the pavement on Hollywood Boulevard.
Even Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown, the British 20-year-old – (yes, 20!)
– has given it a whirl.
But there is one currently untapped celeb who could really bring something fresh and appetising to the table...
Claudia Winkleman.
For Claudia this week revealed her very, er, unique tip for homemade fake tan.
It’s a secret but simple recipe that combines nourishing ingredients with a delicious scent.
Or as otherwise known, GRAVY granules. Yep, GRAVY. I suppose if it was good enough to usurp stockings in the war, why not fake tan in a cost-of-living crisis?
In fact, Claudia launching a two-in-one edible beauty line could be just the answer for many people’s dwindling budgets. True, it may have fringe appeal, but imagine the shopping channel-style advert:
“Poultry looking paltry? Tell dry roasts to foxtrot oscar! Pale-faced but feeling pinched? Don’t let your fake tan’s price tag put you in a spin!
“Get yourself Claudia’s ‘TAN?-NO!’: the two-in-one self-tanning gravy cube that helps every type of bird look their cha-cha-charming best! One batch does face, hands, arms, legs, and turkey breast.”*
Side effects may include an elevated risk of excessive facial dog slobber.
