Amanda Holden recruits daughter Lexi for hilarious make-up tutorial with a twist
Amanda Holden and her daughter Lexi joined forces for an unusual - and hilarious - make-up tutorial.
Holden, 49, shared the beauty video on Instagram, captioning it: “I’ve learned from the best… make up tutorial with a twist. Hands care of lexi.” [sic]
The Britain’s Got Talent star kicked off the clip normally enough by noting that she’d picked up plenty of tips over the years from her go-to make-up artists.
However, things quickly took a strange turn as the presenter didn’t seem to be fully in control of the hands applying make-up to her face in an increasingly erratic fashion - as Lexi, her oldest child, was in fact using her own hands.
Ever the professional, though, Holden kept up a running commentary throughout to accompany her daughter’s weird and wonderful techniques.
She joked that she liked to “apply lots of thick foundation” to make her forehead look smaller and that brushing bronzer into her roots would “hide grey hairs.”
Lexi, 14, then chose to brush purple eyeshadow above her mum’s eyebrows, which Holden suggested was “how we achieve some of the looks on Britain’s Got Talent,” adding: “It looks a little bit like bruising but when the lights shine down it gives an amazing appearance.”

For a final flourish, Lexi covered her mum’s mouth - and face - in red lipstick and lip gloss, prompting Holden to quip: “I’m a massive fan of Picasso the artist and I like the abstract touch, I think it adds something.”
At the end of the video, Lexi emerged from from behind her mother’s shoulder as the pair finally burst into laughter.
Holden has been finding plenty of unusual ways to keep herself and her family occupied during the lockdown.
Last week, the star shared a video of herself mowing the lawn wearing her wedding dress and has also posted snaps of herself wearing a glamorous ball gown to take her bins out.
