But that’s not all, as ’s “very niche” works well in cold too.
Posting on , just one day after she the TV presenter continued to expose her beauty knowledge .
As she filmed herself doing her , Olivia, who is married to footballer , said: “You shouldn’t do this if you’re a or you share your make-up with someone, but I saw a girl do this on a pageant like 15 years ago.
“I thought, what the f**k is she doing, and I’ve done it ever since.”
The held up an eyeliner and advised: “When you’ve got a crayon, a cold crayon like this for your eyes, lips, to warm it up, to make it more usable, for a few minutes I just breathe on it.”
Holding the eyeliner in her mouth and holding back laughter at the unusual trick, the continued: “Don’t let it touch your mouth, but I just put it inside my mouth.
“The warmth of your mouth will help soften the crayon and then it’s more workable.
“You’ll get weird looks but I swear by it.”
And not only does this strange “tactic” work for eyeliner, but according to Olivia, it’s perfect for false eyelashes too.
She explained: “This creepy Darth Vader tactic is also transferable to .
“You girls know I’m a strip lash girl, Tatti Lash being one of my favourites – so the key to getting lashes to stick on, the bit that I think most people struggle with, is when the corners ping off while the glue is drying.
“So what you need to do is once they come out of the box, you need to bend them so you really force them into the shape you want.”

Biggest beauty mistakes
Fabulous' Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has shared the do's and don'ts when it comes to beauty.
“No matter how much time and money you spend on your beauty routine, if you’re not getting the basics right, the rest is wasted.
“There aren’t many non-negotiables, but these are the biggest beauty mistakes sabotaging your regime.”
- Not wearing SPF: Sun-damage is the main cause of premature skin ageing, so if you want to keep your skin looking plump and glowing, sun cream is vital.
- Using expired products: Best case, they’re ineffective and don’t deliver the results they promise, worst case they cause irritation and infection. The shelf life of beauty products differ – for example, mascara is usually good for 3-6 months while lipstick can last for 9-18 months. Check the ‘POA’ symbol on the packaging (it looks like a jar and will have a number inside for how many months it’s safe once opened. If you can’t remember when you opened your product, throw it away and start again, marking the month and year with a permanent marker on the packaging.
- Not knowing your undertones: If you’re using make-up with the wrong undertones, it’ll never look natural no matter how much you blend it! An easy trick to work out whether you have cool, warm or neutral undertones is to check the veins on your wrist – if they look blue, you have cool undertones, if they’re green, you have warm and if they’re a mix you have neutral.
- Skipping heat protector: It might feel unnecessary, but much like sun damage on the skin, excess heat is the most common cause of hair damage. So, if you want shiny, healthy hair, or you’re trying to grow it longer, using a heat protection product is key.
- Not washing your face before bed: it’s as simple as this, if you’re not washing your face before you go to sleep, everything that’s been on your skin during the day is sitting there for even longer, clogging your pores and drying out the surface. Any skincare applied on top isn’t going to be effective with a layer of dirt underneath, and you’re probably going to end up with dirty pillows too – yuck!
Another added: “Wait, that’s genius.”
A third commented: “From an ex I love this! What you can do is use a hair dryer!”

Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: “Imagine a make-up artist doing this. I’d be horrified.”
At the same time, one of Olivia’s fans shared: “Not me breathing on all my makeup now.”
Whilst another make-up enthusiast acknowledged: “Back in day we used a lighter.”
