COUNTER ON IT: Got a glam event but no budget for new beauty products and a makeover? Drop into a department store beauty counter and see if you can get a make-up artist to give you a glam look for your event.
At some shops, such as at selected John Lewis stores, you can actually book in for a makeover consultation for free or book in for a full makeover for £45, which is redeemable against products. It's a nifty way to fill your make-up bag and get your makeover in one.
Check local counters' websites for offers or head to johnlewis.com to book.
LOCAL TALENT: Find trainee make-up artists in your area by checking out your local Facebook groups, which can be full of artists offering their services. Many newly qualified artists charge half-price to build their portfolios, so it can be a cheap way to get your glam.
If in the South, try the London Makeup Artists group, which has over 5,000 members.
APP-SOLUTELY FAB: For a pro look in the comfort of your own home, try apps such as Ruuby, MyBeautySquad, SecretSpa or Urban — just check which areas the apps cover before booking.
You can book artists or hairstylists to visit you at home and many have first-time user discounts. For new Ruuby app users, the discount code TREATMENT10 provides £10 off your first booking.
TUTORIAL TRICKS: Search 'Five-minute wedding looks' on YouTube for a creation using the make-up you already have. One top trick for summer glam is to mix your foundation with a little moisturiser for a glowy look.
HOME REMEDY: Swap pricey salon tinting for at-home kits. Dye your lashes with Eylure lash tinting kit, £10.50. For brows, try Schwarzkopf brow tint dark brown permanent eyebrow tint, £7, both Superdrug.

Oasis Wembley gig in major security breach after at least 200 ticketless fans were sneaked in for cash via disabled door
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WEMBLEY bosses are ready to call in police after hundreds of ticketless Oasis fans are said to have used a security scam to get into one of the band's gigs. As many as 200 were asked for £350 each to be snuck in via a disabled entrance, The Sun was told.

They were then handed wristbands giving them access to the VIP area at the front of the stage as Liam and Noel Gallagher banged out hits including Stand By Me and Slide Away. The two women masterminding the scam are said to have told them they had 'ten groups of 20' waiting — meaning around 200 are likely to have been sneaked in. One of the fans told us: 'We were given our tickets, which were all the same, and a woman drew a shape on our hands. 'We were told to go to the disabled door at entrance M, even though our tickets said entrance F. 'We showed our stamped hands to the person on the door, they scanned the tickets, even though we all had the same one, and let us in. 'Another member of staff then handed us a golden circle wristband and that was it. There were zero security searches. We just walked straight in.' Last night Wembley said cops could be called in to investigate. A spokesman said: 'Entering Wembley Stadium without a ticket is a serious offence and we are investigating these allegations. 'If they are substantiated, we will refer our evidence to the police.' Incredible on stage footage shows thousands of Oasis fans going wild at sold out Wembley gig The Sun has tracked down the two women who appear to be running the scam but we have chosen not to name them. Using Facebook groups dedicated to fans buying and selling tickets for Oasis shows, they approached numerous people desperate to see the band. There were zero security searches. We just walked straight in Fan One message reads: 'Hey if you're still looking for tickets let me know I can meet you in person and no payment until you're inside!' The punter who told The Sun about the scam said he was contacted on social media and told to pay a £10 deposit into one of the scammer's Monzo bank accounts. Once it was paid, he was put into a WhatsApp group. 6 He explained: 'Everyone in the group was told to go to the Sainsbury's shop at Wembley Way on Saturday. 'There were so many people there I got talking to them and we were all there for the same reason. 'Two women came and met us. They drew a shape on our hands and then a ticket was put into the WhatsApp group which we were to use. One of the women told me they were in a hurry because they had 'ten groups of 20 people' to get into the stadium. "They told us all to go to entrance M and head to the disabled entrance.' Hey if you're still looking for tickets let me know I can meet you in person and no payment until you're inside! One message The man, along with a friend and others in his group, went to the area at 5pm. He claims they were ushered inside after their tickets — all copies of the same one — were scanned with no questions asked. He added: 'A girl scanned my ticket and some bloke inside gave me a wristband and that was that. 6 Liam and Noel Gallagher on stage at Wembley Credit: Supplied 6 Fans packed out the stadium for the reunion tour Credit: Alamy 'We were supposed to pay inside and transfer the money to one of the women's Monzo bank accounts but loads of my group didn't do it.' A message shared with The Sun from the WhatsApp group reveals one of the women giving her bank details again, along with her full name. She writes: 'Transfer to these details once inside. Don't forget. 'Someone is waiting inside and one payment is made you're free to do whatever.' The second woman, believed to be a relative of hers, then asks the group: 'Did all u lot get in??' We later contacted one of the scammers to ask about getting into Sunday night's Wembley gig. Two women came and met us. They drew a shape on our hands and then a ticket was put into the WhatsApp group which we were to use Fan Using encrypted messaging app Signal, she said: '£400 a ticket but I'm taking payment before anyone goes in! Yesterday was a f***ing s**tshow. Not doing that again.' Another punter, who bought tickets for Sunday night from the same scammers, told The Sun they were told to go to the disabled door. And a gig-goer told us their brother used the scam on Saturday night, paying £350. They said: 'Apparently loads of people didn't pay when they got in.' The Sun understands the ticket scam did not work on Sunday evening for the people we spoke to. Wembley has suffered security scandals before. In 2021 a steward helped ticketless fans into England's Euros footie final clash with Italy. Last night Oasis played their first of three shows in Edinburgh.

Princess Andre's team responds to Katie Price's rant over reality show
Katie Price has refused to watch her daughter Princess Andre's new reality show - but has insisted there's no rift between them. Princess Andre's management team has released a statement following Katie Price 's outburst about her daughter's reality TV show. Princess, 18, is due to feature in her own documentary series, The Princess Diaries. The show will be broadcast on ITV this weekend. The daughter of Katie and Peter Andre has been carving out her own path in the entertainment industry, and her documentary series will provide an insight into her career and life in the spotlight. The new series is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, August 10, at 9pm. However, speculation of a falling out between Princess and Katie has surfaced recently as it was disclosed that her former glamour model mother will not appear in the series. The news follows Katie Price reaching out to Harvey's lookalike half-brother, but expressing fears that 'he's too scared'. Katie later voiced her opinion, stating she won't watch the TV series featuring her daughter, but insisted there was no disagreement between herself and Princess. She instead criticised Princess' management company in an episode of The Katie Price Show released yesterday. Katie expressed her disappointment as she was allegedly "not allowed" to participate in the show, despite apparent offers to do so without charge, according to reports in the Mirror. In a lengthy tirade during her podcast episode, Katie alleged: "I've always said, over my dead body would I ever want her to manage my kids because she doesn't like me and Pete and me don't talk. I am very, very, very upset that Princess has signed with them." She continued: "Now she's managing Princess and Junior, out of my control, I want the best for Junior and Princess, always, and I will never get in the way of it. But what hurts my feelings – and it does upset me – is when your kids grow up, you go to their assemblies, you go to their Christmas things, you go to their awards, you know, you go to their football matches or their gymnastics, you're involved in everything they do. "And knowing that what my career has been, Princess is taking that same path – trying to do the same as what I've done – which I absolutely love and adore of Princess but I had not been allowed to go on any photoshoot, no signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. Why? Because I'm not allowed and I'm not welcome." Princess' management firm has now hit back at the claims. Speaking to the Mirror, The CAN Group stated: "As a company, our duty of care to our clients is paramount. We would never advise a client on their personal life unless asked and we have never stopped anyone seeing their families." In the meantime, Princess has kept her focus firmly on her blossoming career, making a special appearance at beauty retailer Space NK's newest store launch in London before its official opening today. The young star also graced This Morning with her older brother Junior, discussing her reality programme and revealing what viewers can anticipate. She shared: "You see me growing with confidence as it goes on. You see my family, it's just really fun." She also explained her motivation for taking part in the programme, revealing: "I got older and a lot more things have come in for me solo. A lot of things I used to do was with my parents and now I'm doing a show that is independent and actually focused on me. Now is the right time because my life is busy right now and I want people to see it." When This Morning shared footage of the siblings' television appearance on their Instagram account, Pete penned an affectionate comment stating: "Love you both. Keep being you" accompanied by a heart emoji.
