There has long been tradition for mothers to pass on beauty lessons to their daughters . But now , mums are just as likely to ask their daughters for advice — particularly because the boom in online beauty bloggers means that young people have access to professional techniques at their fingertips . All you need to do is Google ‘ smoky eye ’ and you ’ ll find dozens of videos showing you how to do it . It ’ s no surprise that these online beauty gurus have legions of followers , and two of the biggest YouTube stars are Norwich-based sisters Sam and Nic Chapman , whose Pixiwoo site has millions of viewers worldwide . When I met the girls , they were quick to credit their mother Judy , 58 , with giving them some of the best tips they still follow . Nic ( left ) and Sam Chapman ( right ) credit their mother Judy ( centre ) with giving them some of their best beauty tips which they still follow . Judy , too , loves having make-up artist daughters and readily admits that some of the best tricks she has learned have been from Sam and Nic . With Mother ’ s Day coming up , I met with Judy , Sam and Nic to learn their top tricks . SAM , 37 , AND NIC , 34 : MUM HAS TAUGHT US . . . Always remove your make-up . Dirt builds up on the skin throughout the day and it blocks your pores and leads to breakouts . Cleanse thoroughly before bed to remove both dirt and make-up — it will also keep your pillowcases clean ! Moisturise twice a day and remember to apply the cream to your neck , too — our neck and hands are often the first places to show signs of ageing but they are nearly always forgotten . Dry skin is common in our family , so for us it ’ s extra important to moisturise properly . We also use a more intensive treatment in the evening . Mum taught us to stay out of the sun . Too much sunbathing leads to wrinkles and age spots in later life . As a family , we have porcelain-pale skin so have always been cautious about lying out in the midday sun . Have your eyebrows shaped professionally . Overplucking can give you a startled appearance and once you have made a brow mistake , it can take years for them to grow back . Finally , the best tip we ’ ve learned is to drink plenty of water . Alongside the obvious health benefits , staying hydrated shows in our skin , too . It helps to flush out toxins and improve moisture . JUDY CHAPMAN : MY DAUGHTERS TAUGHT ME . . . Choose the correct moisturiser for your skin type . It ’ s easy to just grab any one , but you need to make sure you are using something that is tailored to your skin . I am lucky because the girls help me shop for foundation . However , if you struggle to choose the correct shade you should try it along your jawbone and then go outside into the daylight to check how well it blends into your skin . Nic ( left ) and Sam ( right ) say their mum , Judy ( centre ) , taught them to stay out of the sun and drink plenty of water as it helps to flush out toxins and improve moisture . Thin eyebrows can be so ageing and mine are a little overplucked from embracing the thin brow trend in the Seventies . Now the girls have taught me how to cheat my way to fuller brows with a brow pencil , I have a more youthful look . The importance of blending with a foundation brush can not be underestimated . I couldn ’ t be without my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush ( £9.99 , Boots ) . The wide , firm bristles make it easier to apply and smooth foundation . Finally , use an eyeshadow primer . My eyelids are quite oily and my eyeshadow often creases , so when Sam and Nic taught me to layer eye products , starting with an eyeshadow primer , it totally changed my look .
