Lisa Armstrong admits she's riddled with insecurities thanks to celebrity images

Lisa Armstrong has admitted that even she struggles with her self confidence thanks to the 'perfect' celebrity image that's portrayed on social media.

The Strictly Come Dancing make up artist is joining the cast of new online makeover show The Updaters to show the power make up has to give us a boost.

The star, who split from husband Ant McPartlin last year, has opened up about her insecurities as she prepares to help others.

She said: "The celebrity version of perfection that bombards us every day is not real. Nobody is immune to insecurities, nobody!

"We all have issues that chip away at our confidence on a daily basis. Social media makes us hold ourselves to unrealistic standards. There is no such thing as perfection and uniqueness is what makes us all so very special.

"Make-up has the power to bring out your best features, it highlights rather than distracts. I hope to show that with faith and with courage we can all shine."

Lisa is one of the experts on the show, which will serve as a one-stop make-over shop for advice, information and a ‘shop the products’ section with links to the clothes, makeup, hair products featured on the show and other recommendations from the experts.

10-minute episodes will be uploaded every day on www.updatersmakeover.com .

There will also be links to 'uncut' videos of the experts including 4 x 10 minute detailed makeover tips from Lisa. May’s episodes air daily at 8pm from Tuesday, May 14 to Friday, May 17 via the web-site and on YouTube.
