Liverpool lasses spend longest in the entire country on average getting ready for a big night out, new research has revealed.
The well-groomed women of Merseyside topped a survey for online beauty retailer Escentual.com – with 46 per cent spending more than three hours on average getting dolled up before going out.
TOP 5:
1. Merseyside
2. Nottinghamshire
3. Bedfordshire
4. Oxfordshire
5. Essex
Escentual.com surveyed more than 500 women from across the UK, asking them to reveal how long they spent grooming themselves for a night out.
Top five areas for spending more than three hours preparing were Merseyside (46 per cent); Nottinghamshire (31 per cent); Bedfordshire (25 per cent); Oxfordshire (20 per cent); and - perhaps surprisingly - Essex, which scraped into fifth place with just 12 per cent of women admitting to spending more than three hours getting ready for a night out.
