Woman doing makeup left angry after man says 'worst thing ever'
A woman caught the moment a 'rude' stranger branded her 'Donald Trump' due to her makeup. Lilly Whitfield was doing her makeup while sitting in a park in Wimbledon, London, when she was approached by a brazen stranger. The 23-year-old content creator was filming herself apply her makeup when an older man strolled over to comment on the shade of her skin. In the footage, the stranger is heard saying 'you're as orange as Donald Trump' to an aghast Lilly who quickly responds with 'that's a bit rude'. Shocked, Lilly goes on to berate the stranger, adding 'if you've not got anything nice to say, I wouldn't really recommend saying anything'. Lilly, who admits using fake tan on a weekly basis, says being compared to the US President - known for his distinctly orange skin colour - is the 'worst thing anyone can say'.

Now, Lilly is condemning men who consider approaching young women for the sole purpose of making derogatory comments. Lilly, who lives in Clapham, London, said: "[I was] getting ready. I did have a little tripod to film me doing my makeup. People around us were kind of looking at me as I was filming myself. It doesn't really bother me, no one said anything. I was sitting down doing my makeup, then this old man in his late-60s or 70s came over looking very disheveled. "I saw him pointing at me and I said 'hi, you okay?'. Then he said 'you look as orange as Donald Trump'. I felt quite taken aback by it. I was quite shocked. I thought he was just going to ask why I was filming. "Obviously I am quite tanned. I do fake tan every week. But I wouldn't say my colour is that offensive. Maybe it's a case of the old generation don't really understand it. I just said to him 'if you haven't got anything nice to say, I'd recommend not saying anything'. "I thought it was just rude and I could tell he felt really awkward. He changed the subject and started talking about something very random. He walked off after that. It was just really odd and uncalled for. I don't understand why he thought it was okay to make that comment." The interaction outside Wimbledon, which amassed more than 1.5 million views on TikTok, divided opinion online. One person said: "It was entirely unwarranted from a complete stranger. He wasn't trying to help her, he openly admitted he was just trying to be mean which is so weird to go out your way to do to someone you don't even know." Another added: "Why do men think they can have an opinion?" A third said: "I unfortunately see where he is coming from. Your hands and face look quite warm, kind of orange." A fourth said: "He's not wrong though." However, Lilly insists others should 'mind their own business' before commenting on people's appearances. Lilly said: "I'm just going to take it on the chin. You can't let it get to you. People already have an opinion on you. "I was just minding my own business. It was literally 6am. It wouldn't make me change my makeup. No one's ever said that to me before, I've only ever had compliments. I know I'm not tanned to the point where it's offensive. "Don't speak unless spoken to. They should mind their own business. If you're a man making derogatory comments, especially speaking to a young woman, just read the room."

We didn't expect Hailey Bieber to use this affordable eyeshadow palette - but now it's at the top of our wishlist
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more There's no doubt about it - Hailey Bieber knows how to start a trend. From 'glazed donut' nails to 'cinnamon cookie butter hair' (yes, really), the influence she has on the beauty industry is undeniable. In a recent video that amassed 8.8 million views, the model and entrepreneur shared her summer makeup routine, in which she was spotted using Morphe's ChromaPlus Outer Spice Palette - and now you can pick it up yourself for just £16. Morphe Outer Spice 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette Looking for your new favourite eyeshadow palette? Morphe's ChromaPlus Palette in Outer Spice will soon become a go-to in your routine. Featuring six rich, warm shades from cinnamon to burnt orange, this palette creates effortlessly smouldering looks that work from day to night. In fact, beauty fans have called it the 'ultimate little palette' for adding a pop of warmth and drama without the fuss. £16 Shop Combining six ultra-pigmented shades, the palette blends both timeless and trending shades for everyday or bold makeup looks - and customers are as obsessed as Hailey. 'This is a great on-the-go palette if you want a soft glow,' said one shopper. 'It's great for a daytime look, but even better for a night out. For a bold look, wetting your brush does give it that strong shadow you may like. The colours are amazing!'. 'I've been loving this! The pigmentation is super rich, and it shows up beautifully with just one swipe,' said a second customer. 'It's also incredibly easy to blend, which makes creating different looks so effortless. Whether I'm going for something bold or more natural, this palette delivers every time. Definitely a go-to in my makeup routine now!'. 'There is no way to truly express how beautiful this palette is just through a review,' said a third shopper. 'I already liked Morphe, but wasn't a super fan so I really was unbiased when using it. First, the colours are stunning. Perfect for summer! It swatches so smoothly and blends impeccably. Lasted without setting spray for about eight hours'. The latest in a flurry of incredible new launches from the brand, the ChromaPlus palettes come in six colour ways - though OuterSpice is perhaps the most wearable for day-to-day use. The palette combines two neutral matte shades, as well as one shimmery pink and one shimmery chocolate brown shade, and two otherworldly metallics. In Hailey's video, she combines her signature glowy complexion routine with a swipe of shimmer on her eyelids, using a primer underneath for longer wear. She finishes her look with faux freckles, and, of course, her signature Rhode lip products. Created with a brand-new formula that delivers all-day, creaseproof wear, each shade boasts a buttery-soft texture that makes blending a dream. For the best results, the brand recommends applying matte shades with a fluffy blending brush for a seamlessly diffused effect. For a more precise application, use a smaller detail brush - this is particularly effective when using the Dash of Cocoa shade as a liner or to define the lash line. To create depth, blend in darker shades to the crease of your eyelid with a medium-sized brush, before pressing in shimmer or metallic shades to your eyelid with your fingertip or using a flat packer brush. Top tip - for an ultra high-impact finish, wet your brush before going in with the metallic shades for a more intense colour payoff and incredible vibrancy. Ready to follow in the footsteps of Mrs Bieber? Buy the palette for £16 here - though if you want it, you'll have to be quick - as it's already sold out elsewhere. Run, don't walk!

Readers reply: Why can't I put on mascara without opening my mouth?
Why can't I put on mascara without opening my mouth? Rita, London Send new questions to nq@ You don't need to when you do your upper lashes but if you open your mouth it stretches your cheeks downwards so you can apply the mascara to your lower lashes without getting it on your face. Goldgreen I can't put on Newsnight without opening mine. StuartDarmon Because that's how your mom/aunt/big sister did it, and you just followed suit. They in turn learned from their mom/aunt/big sister, and so on. It's why I do it anyway! bigflatfeet Same reason you stick your tongue out when concentrating? reggiepurrin My partner tells me it's in case she needs to shout at me. I don't know what that has to do with mascara, but I've learned that when her mouth is open I should keep mine shut. Dorkalicious At least you can put on mascara without needing to open someone else's mouth. That would be awkward. Porthos Otherwise, your lips stick. sparklesthewonderhen I assume it's because you open your eyes in a shocked expression that makes you open your mouth. LadyxxMacbeth

How to get high impact eyes in your 50s in a minute – and why you need to throw away your black eyeliner
IF you're still clinging to black eyeliner in your 50s, one beauty expert says it's time to move on because it could be ageing you faster than your fine lines. A professional cosmetologist with over 30 years in the industry has gone viral on TikTok after revealing her go-to trick for making mature eyes pop in seconds and it's surprisingly simple. 2 2 Posting under the handle @mimiknowsmakeup, the seasoned pro explains how swapping out black liner for softer shades like chocolate and plum can instantly take years off your look. She told her followers: 'There's no denying that eyeliner makes a huge difference,' before demoing her method using two creamy pencils from Persona, a brand she swears by. Rather than drawing a thick black line across the lid, which can look harsh and sink into fine lines. Mimi uses a much gentler approach. She lays the brown liner flat against the lash line and gently taps it across the eye, using her finger to smudge it for a more blended, lifted effect. Then she repeats the process for extra definition, before moving onto the second shade. For the waterline, she opts for a deep plum colour. The rich purple tone brightens the whites of the eyes and makes eye colour stand out, especially for women with blue or green eyes. Mimi explains that both liners are waterproof, which is essential for summer heat or watery eyes, meaning the look will stay put all day without smudging or melting off. With just a swipe of mascara to finish, the result is a soft, lifted eye that looks youthful, fresh, and never overdone. I'm 52 but look DECADES younger - I avoid too much makeup, 'trashy' ripped jeans She finishes the video by urging: 'Take the black eyeliner, throw it away, and get yourself some of these.' Viewers were impressed by the tip, with one woman commenting that after years of using black liner, she recently switched to a dark grey and loved the subtle difference. Others agreed, saying that black often looks too harsh, especially on ageing skin or lighter eye colours. Another added that eye colour plays a key role, with deeper tones like brown or plum making brown eyes look richer, while lighter shades like plum can enhance blue or green eyes. The trick has struck a chord with women over 40 looking to update their makeup without learning a whole new routine. Mimi's technique is quick, fuss-free and uses just two pencils and a finger, which means no brushes or fancy palettes required. So if your trusty black liner is starting to feel a bit too 'heavy', this might be the perfect excuse to chuck it and try something softer. Because when it comes to makeup in your 50s, less really can be more. Tightlining if your best friend for a seamless, natural lash look according to Lielle. Tightlining is an eyeliner technique that involves applying eyeliner to the upper waterline, the area right under your upper lashes, to create the illusion of thicker, fuller lashes. It's a subtle way to define your eyes and enhance your lash line without a noticeable line of eyeliner. This is also such a must if you want a traceless false lash look as there won't be a 'gap' between your lash line and your tightline. When applying your false lashes always make sure your glue is tacky before application and also clamp the false lashes together with your natural lashes not only for a seamless blend but also for comfort. By doing this you won't be irritated whilst wearing your lashes.
