Hilarious: Amanda Holden, 49, was left smeared in lipstick and laughing hysterically as she posted a make-up tutorial using daughter Lexi’s hands as her own on Instagram on Sunday

Laughing: Once finished, she put down the foundation and picked up a blusher palette with Amanda sharing 'but that's beautifully done, really nice, lovely'

She wore sleeves which matched the paisley print of Amanda’s robe, therefore created an optical illusion and hilarious results.

Amanda captioned the video: ‘I’ve learned from the best… #makeup #tutorial with a twist #hands care of #lexi’

Sat with her blonde tresses pulled back into a bun, the mum-of-two looked fresh faced and naturally gorgeous and began her video: ‘Hi my name is Amanda Holden. For a long time now people have asked me whether I will do a makeup tutorial.’

She continued: ‘Obviously, I wear makeup every day for Heart radio, yes it’s a radio show but we are filmed and Britain’s Got Talent is on every week and I think I’ve learned from the best.’

Whist speaking into the camera, Amanda visibly tried to stifle her giggles while Lexi used her hands to gesture and smooth down her hair.  

She continued: ‘So I am going to share some tips and hopefully you will learn something.

Smooth: She captioned the video 'I’ve learned from the best... #makeup #tutorial with a twist #hands care of #lexi'

‘First I like a foundation, I like an SPF of 50 to keep sun off my face yes I like sunbathing but I do like to keep the sun off my face.’  

Lexi struggled with opening the lid with her mum instructing: ‘Oh this is a bit difficult I need to squish this one down.’

Her daughter then squeezed some foundation into her palm and began rubbing it all over Amanda’s face. 

Skills: She said 'first I like a foundation, I like an SPF of 50 to keep sun off my face yes I like sunbathing but I do like to keep the sun off my face'

She said: ‘I like to apply this gently with just my fingertips on the cheek area, this keeps me feeling young and fresh.

‘Then all over my lips and other cheek, that’s another really good tip as it camouflages your mouth.’

Amanda could barley contain her giggles as Lexi rubbed the makeup all over her face, she continued: ‘Then your head.

‘I’ve got quite a big forehead so sometimes to make it look smaller it’s good to apply a thick layer of foundation to give it some shrink value.’

Beauty: She went on 'then I like to use a really bright eye shadow. I'm particularly fond of the purples in this palette, I like to use all of them'

‘Next I like to put a bit of blusher on. I like this one it’s called natural face but it is hard to undo. Really tricky. Bare with. As you can see there are lots of beautiful colours in there.’

After struggling to get it open without seeing it, Lexi then held the palette under her mum’s nose forcing her to smell it and comment: ‘They smell so nice they smell of ice cream. 

Pout: Finally, Lexi picked up a red lipstick and Amanda concluded 'Then a beautiful red lipstick I'm a massive fan of Picasso the artist, I love that abstract touch'

‘I like to use the all of the palette, I like to use it all. I think it’s good to be generous seeing as we haven’t had any sun lately.’

Lexi used the blusher brush all over the star’s face causing her to laugh as she increasingly strayed away from a neat makeup style. 

She continued: ‘I really the tickles the brush gives me, I like to put it all over my face and in my hair to cover up any greys.

Lovely: Lexi rubbed the lipstick all over Amanda's lips causing her to have red streaks across her face, however she still looked gorgeous despite her unusual makeup

She continued: ‘Then I like to use all of them on my eyebrows, this is something people don’t know – I like to do this on Britain’s Got Talent.

‘It’s a bit like bruising but when the light shines down it gives an amazing appearance.’

Bye! Finally she said, 'so stay safe, stay at home and enjoy the time you have to experiment with makeup'
