“I’ve been following Donna for quite a few years now from when she used to do Beauty On The School Run with her son Billy. She really is a joy to follow. I trust her advice and I love how she’s so down to earth.”
“I am grateful for all your inspiring work that you do. I have huge admiration. At age 49 I sometimes find it hard to embrace my age and it’s inspiring to see you champion real beauty so I can look and feel good about myself whatever my age!”
“When I’m feeling a bit flat, Donna Francis @thebeautyeds tutorials are cheerfully inspiring as I watch her pat this and that on her suntanned face.”

“Donna is the epitome of authenticity! Her genuine views on all things in the world of beauty is refreshing and she makes you feel comfortable and seen at any age!”
“I don’t go on social media apart from to follow Donna. I love her beauty advice but she also makes me smile and seems like a friend.”
“As a woman in her late 40’s I love how Donna doesn’t focus on anti-aging. She just embraces aging and helps you navigate through the pros and cons. At the end of the day gratitude for getting this far in life is why I keep following her.”
