I spend 3 hours a day doing my make-up & even sleep with it on like Dolly Parton…but my eyelids get glued together
A MUM has revealed that she spends around three hours applying her make-up – and rarely ever takes it off.
Just like Dolly Parton, Maureen, 49, even sleeps with her makeup on, despite sometimes waking up with an eye infection because of it.

The US country singer previously admitted that she also sleeps with a full face of makeup so she's always 'ready to go.'
Dolly explained that she's been doing this since the 1980s, particularly while living in California, where the fear of earthquakes meant she didn't want to be caught off guard in an emergency.
Similarly, Maureen wears her makeup no matter what – even if it's just to pop outside to the post box.
Appearing on TLC's documentary My Strange Addiction, Maureen, from New York, shared her daily routine.
She said: 'The only time I take off my makeup is when I'm in the shower. I even sleep in my makeup.
Sometimes when I wear my eyeliner to bed, I wake up and my eyes are stuck together. I guess I want to be glamorous 24-7.'
Speaking to a doctor on the show, Maureen revealed that she sometimes has to 'pry [her eyes] open' in the morning and that they can occasionally appear bloodshot.
The doctor explained that this was a sign of inflammation and warned her it could lead to more serious eye problems.
'Mascara and eyeliner actually can cause pigmentation in the whites of the eyes. That's permanent,' the doctor cautioned.
Maureen also asked whether leaving makeup on her skin was ageing her.
I'm a 34-year-old mum and tried the unrecognisable make-up trend - people say I look like a new person
The doctor explained: 'There is some theory that if you leave makeup on long enough and it causes a low-grade chronic inflammation, that the chronic inflammation might accelerate ageing.'
Her unusual habit has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many viewers praising her natural beauty.
One person wrote: 'She looks so much younger without makeup.'
Another commented: 'Actually, her skin and face is so pretty without the makeup.'

Others, however, were baffled by her routine. One asked: 'The rest I can vaguely understand.
But why does she sleep with it on?? That sounds so uncomfortable.'
Meanwhile, a fourth added: 'Three hours?! There's no fricken way it should take that long.'

I'm a 42-year-old divorced virgin – the real reason I've never had any sexual experiences with men despite being married
Rhasha opened up about her experiences on TLC's new show, Virgins BEDDER BELIEVE IT I'm a 42-year-old divorced virgin – the real reason I've never had any sexual experiences with men despite being married Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A 42-YEAR-OLD virgin has revealed the real reason why she's never had sex, despite being married. Rhasha was married to a man for 10 months, but revealed that she never had any sexual experiences with her husband. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Rhasha is a 42 year old virgin Credit: TLC 2 She never had sex with her husband Credit: TLC She describes herself as a "late bloomer" and explained that her lack of confidence has stunted her in the bedroom. "I wasn't attracted to guys till I was like in my mid-20s," she told TLC show Virgins, in a clip seen by the Daily Mail. "I think it was just being overweight and not having confidence in myself." Rhasha revealed that she has always struggled with her weight, and believed that men wouldn't be attracted to her because of her size. Opening up about her marriage, she told a professional on the show that her ex-husband was an international student from South Korea. She explained that they never met up, but spent four years texting each other. "He was so sweet and made me laugh, so when he told me that he didn't want to go back to his home country, I didn't want him to either", she said. She said that she was completely in love with the man, but revealed that he only ended up marrying her for a green card. Rhasha is now determined to lose her virginity, but said that her ordeal with her former nupitals has put her off getting wed again. "I have so much love to give and I'm such a nurturing person, but I don't know if I want to get married because I was before and that was a debacle", she said. Moment virgin has sex on Virgin Island with surrogate partner The new TLC show sees four adult virgins aim to finally have sex. Alongside Rhasha, the reality series features Deanne, a 35 year old with high standards, Alex a 34 year old living in his mum and dad's loft, and Sonali, a 37 year old who has practically never dated. Describing the show, TLC said it's a "wild, warm, and wonderfully awkward ride with four adults who have yet to experience sexual intercourse, as they navigate love, intimacy, and self-discovery in their 30s and 40s." "After years of missed connections and dating horror stories, these late bloomers are done playing it safe," the synopsis continues. "They're stepping outside their comfort zones and taking big swings to finally go all the way, emotionally and physically. "From navigating awkward first dates to exploring a bondage class and working with an intimacy partner they're putting it all on the line in hopes of finally sealing the deal." Virgins is set to air on TLC tomorrow, June 9.
