Then again, I am in Essex rather than London. I have come to accept that, no matter how hard I try, I will just never look as fabulous as those women in their matching bejeweled track suits with wedges, spray tans, and acrylic nails pushing their prams to Baby and Toddler Rhyme Time. C'est la vie!
Please, please, please don't try to look like those women - most (normal) British women wouldn't be caught dead looking like that. They look fake and cheap and are often looked down upon/ridiculed (especially those from Essex because of TOWIE). It seems to be a symptom of the current generation that you need to have fake tan and extensions and a ton of make-up to look good, and it's just not true.
There's even a TV show (Snog, Marry, Avoid) which takes women who look like that off the street and gives them a 'make-under' to a more attractive, natural look. They show men on the street the 'before' and then 'after' pictures and ask if they would 'snog, marry or avoid' - most of them say 'avoid' for the before and 'snog' or 'marry' for the after.
As a British woman, I say go for the more natural look anytime
