The Fix: Black Friday Sales, Foundation Thieves & Is Body Contouring in Bed Lying?

Is gifting a beauty voucher too impersonal? We settle the debate on Christmas presents in a cost-of-living crisis. Does using body contouring makeup during intimacy count as lying? We offer transfer-proof tan recommendations (and a few bedroom tips). And why is your housemate tracking their expensive foundation use with a sticker? We deal with beauty boundaries and foundation theft.

Welcome to The Fix - where your beauty agony aunts Kelly & Amy tackle the awkward, practical, and essential dilemmas that come with real-life beauty struggles.

Plus, we break down the latest beauty headlines: Black Friday is already here with huge deals including 30% off GHD, the unexpected 2026 Met Gala theme, and Go-To is making a big splash with their new colour makeup line.
