Hi everyone. My partner and I are co-founders of a UK registered business that has been trading for a few months. Targeting Envestors as our endorsing body. Have several questions and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through this.

1. The GOV.UK page says the business must be new and not already trading. Has anyone successfully navigated this with an existing trading business? How did you frame it and did the endorsing body flag it as an issue?

2. What was the strongest part of your application? What did the assessor focus on most in the interview? How much traction did you have at the point of applying and is there anything that nearly caused a rejection?

3. How long did the full process take from first contacting the endorsing body to having the visa decision? Any unexpected delays to plan for and how early before expiry would you recommend starting?

Helloo, I wanted some lipstick recommendations which look natural. I have dark reddish-brown lip shades like hermes 85 – Rouge , mac paramount and coffee in your crème, Chanel dominant etc.

I want a colour which looks like no makeup-makeup look, If it makes sense ? I have neutral undertones and fair complexion. I don’t like matte lip products!
Any shades and brands recommendations, would be appreciated! Thankss
