The survey of 2,000 UK women revealed that Liz Hurley’s transformation of fiancé Shane Warne has inspired them to give their own man a makeover, by subtly discouraging him from eating certain foods, wearing certain clothes and even growing facial hair. Instead, they encourage their partners to be well groomed, in shape and clean shaven.
Second only to changing the way he dresses (38%), a fresh, clean shaven face was the top grooming transformation with a quarter of women admitting to making their man shave more regularly and 13% making them get rid of their beard or moustache altogether.
A quarter of those questioned also said it had taken them just two weeks to start moulding their new partner in to their perfect man and one of the most important areas for a woman to change is his grooming habits. Changing his aftershave (20%), trimming their nose and ear hair (17%), plucking his eyebrows (16%), moisturising regularly (13%) and using whitening toothpaste (8%) are all on women’s hit lists as they preen and perfect their partner.
Jason Shankey, Wilkinson Sword’s Grooming Expert, said: "This research shows there is definitely a ‘Shane Warne effect’ sweeping through the country at the moment. The positive effect Liz Hurley has had on Shane Warne’s overall appearance is remarkable and it seems women of the UK want to recreate similar results on their own men.
"I’ve seen a growing number of men asking me for shaving advice as their wives and girlfriends have requested they’re clean shaven. My advice is always that, to get the best shave for your skin you need to consider the whole picture; don’t forget pre and post shave preps to ensure your skin stays smooth and hydrated."
The survey also found nearly a third of women felt they had their boyfriend or husband ‘under their thumb’, with 60% claiming they ‘knew best’ when it came to how their other half looked.
Of those surveyed, 40% felt it was a woman’s job to ‘makeover’ their man and it appears they will go to any length to achieve this with a third saying they do it subtly, another third being sneaky and the rest making it clear to their partner that changes needed to be made.
According to the survey by Wilkinson Sword, the top 10 things women change about their partner’s appearance is:
1. The type of clothes he buys
2. Make him shave more often
3. Change his hairstyle
4. Make him trim his nose and ear hair
5. Change his footwear
6. Change his aftershave
7. Make him pluck his eyebrows
8. Improve his hygiene
9. Get rid of his beard/moustache
10. Cleanse and moisturise daily
