The BGT judge’s makeup artist Christian Vermaak took to Instagram and posted some photos of Amanda Holden to his page, before revealing that he uses Ardell Wispies to make her look flawless to invent visual.

The full, fluttery lashes, which can be purchased at Boots, feature an invisible band and elongated center that help the 53-year-old achieve a stunning, revealing look.

The kit includes two lash strips, which can be reused multiple times if well cared for, along with a tube of Duo lash adhesive.

And it’s not just Amanda who’s a fan, with happy Boots customers rushing online to leave five-star reviews of their beauty purchases.

The best lashes I’ve ever used. I will buy them over and over again

Satisfied Boots Customer

One person, who called them “the best lashes in my opinion,” wrote: “I’ve tried three other brands but none compare to these, they’re the only ones I can recommend.

“They have a very thin band, so they look very natural.

‘Normally they recommend only using false eyelashes 5 times, but you can, with care, use them many more times if you gently remove the glue used each time you remove them.’

A second satisfied customer praised the false eyelashes for being the “perfect fit.”

They continued, “I have big, hooded eyes and I feel like other lashes are too dramatic, but this works with any look.

“It’s also very easy to apply. The best lashes I’ve worn so far. However, I recommend the double glue, it lasts longer.”

Meanwhile, a third said: “The best lashes I’ve ever used. I will always buy them.”

She praised the band for being “flexible,” which makes it easy to apply, while she says the glue keeps them in place all day.

“I could even sleep with them and they wouldn’t move,” the beauty fan added.

Britain’s Got Talent’s biggest ‘fix’ fights

Britain’s Got Talent has been plagued by ‘fix’ rows over the years. How many of these do you remember?

Jasmine Elcock – 2016: Teen singer Jasmine Elcock surprised the country with her version of Cher’s Believe. But then it turned out that she had already acted professionally in London’s West End. Jasmine, 14, admitted: “I’ve performed in Annie in the West End when I was around nine or ten years old, but I get really nervous.”

IrShad Shaikh – 2017: BGT fans were left questioning the rulebook when IrShad Shaikh auditioned. He received four red buzzers from the judges, which would normally mean an instant dismissal. However, in a strange turn of events, they let him continue with his act… and put him through to the next round.

Colin Thackery – 2019: Elderly war veteran Colin won BGT in 2019, but there were protests over the final. He vied for position to win with a rendition of We’ll Meet Again, but fans were furious that escapologist Jonathan Goodwin didn’t even place in the top three. Spectators thought Jonathan – who almost suffocated when he was buried alive in gravel – should have won.

Axel Blake – 2021: Comedian Axel Blake won a golden buzzer in 2022 after making the judges laugh. But fans were furious when they discovered Axel already had a show on global streaming platform Amazon Prime. Despite this, Axel still won the series.

Lauren Allred – 2021: The 2022 series of BGT was hit with another controversy when singer Loren Allred also received a Golden Buzzer. She sang Never Enough from the hit musical film The Greatest Showman and received a standing ovation. It later turned out that Loren was actually the original voice behind the track.

Taryn Charles – 2024: Singer Taryn Charles is one of this year’s candidates who was lucky enough to receive the Golden Buzzer. Bruno Tonilio put her straight into the semi-finals after her performance in Aretha Franklin’s (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, but now it turns out she knows her way around TV. Viewers recognized Taryn from an episode of ITV1’s Starstruck, where she posed as Whitney Houston to judges Olly Murs, Sheridan Smith, Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight.

Meanwhile, another chimed in: “My favorite.

‘Absolutely love these, they don’t look too dramatic and the lash line matches yours really well so they’re easy to apply rather than the ones with a solid lash band.

“The included double glue is also the best I’ve ever used!”
