Oh holy moly I've aged 50 years since I went to bed last night. How does that
0:05
happen? Let's put makeup on, let's make ourselves feel better. This is simple
0:10
easy quick makeup for over 50 women. First thing that I have done is my
0:15
skincare. I'll list everything that I've used in the description box and I'll pin
0:19
it in the comments so you will not miss a thing. Next thing that I'm going to use
0:23
as a primer is this. This is the Arborian CC Cream. I absolutely love it. Will not
0:29
do without it. It is my absolute go-to every single day. It is in the shade
0:35
Clare. It's a fabulous product that evens out aging skin, skin tone, sun damage, you
0:44
name it. It is a little miracle product. It comes out white and I just sweep it
0:49
on all over to create a very lovely base. Can you see if I get close you can see
0:56
this lovely lovely glow. It's hard under the studio lights but it's so nice. The
1:01
next thing that I'm going to use is the tried tested and true Maybelline Eraser
1:06
This is the under eye concealer. I know a lot of people use these for contouring. I
1:12
haven't tried that yet but this is just going under the very corners of my eye. I
1:17
don't put my concealer beyond this area because you don't want them to sink into
1:22
where your creases are. Corners of my nose, corners of my mouth and just a
1:27
little bit under my chin and I'm just going to pat that in and with my ring
1:32
fingers being very gentle under my eyes pat that down as well. For my foundation
1:38
I am using the Wet and Wild Photo Focus. It's the dewy formulation. They also do a
1:45
matte. This is my absolute favourite at the moment. It is I think comparable to
1:52
Dior. It's just got that luxury feel to it and it's around about £5.99. You can't
2:00
go wrong. I'm in the shade Soft Beige. I am quite a pale blonde. If I was tan and
2:09
had a bit of a tan in the summer I would probably go down a shade but this is
2:14
perfect for right now. I'm going to use my fingers because this is quick and
2:18
easy. No messing around. I haven't got my brushes all in here today. Next I'm going
2:23
to use a bit of bronzer. I'm going to use the Chanel Les Beige. It is a little bit
2:27
more pricey. I can't say that I think it's better than some of the regular
2:31
drugstore ones and I've got my bronzer brush. Pop that on and just bring my
2:37
face back to life. That's that. Now let's do my eyes. So I'm going to use a Max
2:43
Factor Quad Palette. I like this palette. It's lovely. It's all the lavenders, the
2:49
purples. It's really really pretty. I'm going to use the top two here just to
2:55
create the illusion of more space and I think I learnt this from Wayne Goss who
3:01
you will know is a wonderful makeup artist in the UK. So I'm tapping into
3:06
both of those shades. I don't want it too dark and I'm going to apply my shadow
3:11
quite high up on my eye. What I don't want to do is bring it too far down
3:17
because that will give the illusion of a heavy lid. I want to create the illusion
3:21
of more space. Put a little bit of irritation on this eye so it looks a
3:27
little bit red. So if it looks a bit darker on my shadow that's why. I'm
3:33
applying a matte very nude shadow just up on my brow bone. You hear my stomach? Oh my
3:40
goodness I really am quite hungry. I've started going back to intermittent
3:46
fasting and I'm looking at doing animal-based. I've been looking at carnivore, the carnivore diet and I think because I've done keto before I think
3:58
I'm going to try animal-based and I thought I would do a video on that. We can talk about that together. Have any of you tried the animal-based diet? The
4:06
animal-based differs to carnivore. Carnivore of course is exactly as it says. It's animal meats, eggs and raw milk I think. I think you get your dairy with
4:20
very little else. Whereas animal-based it's all of that plus you can have
4:25
berries, avocado, you can have fermented sauerkraut cabbage, that type of thing. So
4:33
I am interested in that. So let me know in the comments if you've tried it and
4:37
how you got on and let me know if you'd like a video on what I'm doing to really
4:41
help with my weight during this menopause period of my life. Right next
4:47
I'm going to line just along my lash line. I'm going to do that off-camera
4:52
because there's no way I can do it with you girls watching. The mascara I'm using
4:56
is the Maybelline Sensational. It is such a good mascara. I really love it for its
5:03
wand, its spoolie. It works so well. So it's got a long side and a short side. So
5:08
the short side is really good for your shorties and getting the product on and the long side will give you lots of length. I will do that off-camera too. So
5:17
that's my mascara. I do love mascara. It completely changes your face. Now I'm
5:22
going to do my brows on my blush and we're nearly there. So for my brows I'm
5:26
going to use an It Cosmetic double-ended stick. It is brow power, little spoolie
5:32
and then we have the pencil on the end. I need to get myself another one of
5:38
these. I really like this brow pencil. It's super soft, super easy to use. Just
5:44
brush it through your brows and then when you then brush through with the
5:49
spoolie it just is a lovely powdery finish. Nothing too heavy. Of course you
5:54
can build it if you really want to. I'm not about to build thick brows today
6:01
Just a quick brush through will do. I've got a pal that does microblading and
6:07
she's incredibly good and she keeps asking if she can do my brows and I've
6:14
said no. I am just too worried about having a tattoo on my face because
6:19
essentially that's what it is. Microblading is a tattoo and my tattoo
6:25
experience isn't the best. I have a tattoo that I had on my big toe many
6:31
years ago and it was supposed to be a little gecko and it now looks like a
6:35
frog or a squash. It looks like roadkill. There's no getting around it. It's
6:41
literally blurred. It's green. It's very very ugly so I'm really hesitant to have
6:45
a tattoo on my brows. Okay next thing is my blush. I use a NYX blush. This one is
6:51
called Daydream. It's such a beautiful colour. I'm going to pop it in the apples
6:56
of my cheeks and then sweep it right up high into my temple area. So this
7:03
technique gives you a little bit of youthful glow. That kind of you know when
7:09
you were a kid and you were out and you're playing in the yard and then you came in you had really good rosy cheeks. That's what I'm after today. A little bit
7:17
of that. So it's very pigmented this NYX. It's really really good. I think it
7:21
is quite similar to NARS but don't quote me on that. You don't need a lot. A lot
7:27
goes a little goes a long way. For my lips I'm going to do my absolute fave
7:31
This is Cherry Kiss by Max Factor. It is a cool red more pinky kind of raspberry
7:38
I suppose and this is a strawberry pink liner from Revolution. Just line my lips
7:44
I've got wonky lips so this will compensate. A little bit of powder just
7:49
to take down the shine on my chin, my nose, in the middle of my forehead and
7:55
just around my eye area. So that's it ladies. I've done my makeup. Thank
8:01
goodness. I definitely feel better than I did from when I started. Let me know
8:06
about the animal based diet. Let me know if you've done it. Carnivore. All of that
8:10
stuff. I'm super interested in giving it a go. I think I'm going to do a 30 days
8:14
and I'll vlog it and yeah it might be really interesting to see how that
8:19
works for me. I have done intermittent fasting. I am a yoga teacher although I
8:24
have fallen off that wagon. Why? I don't know why I've done that but you know how
8:30
it is. Life gets in the way. We get a little bit lazy. Definitely in the
8:34
wintertime I don't move as much as I do in the summer and that needs to change. I
8:39
