Well, here we are about to slide into a New Year, leaving behind another 12 months of confusing messages and mixed emotion. It’s hard to believe we are approaching a 3rd year of uncertainty to what ‘s instore for us. All jabbed up and no where to go!
I am determined to feel positive and excited with how Graceful Disgraceful will blossom in 2022 and wish everyone all the best and a very happy New Year.
My Twixtmas make up story – Get your glad rags on! is with Vicky 53. Lovely Vicky has sat in make up chair a few times now and it is great to be able to create completely different images each time.
So get your glad rags on for New Years Eve -whether you are in Isolation, partying together or solo, sweep a little eyeliner and paint on your best lippy. Dress to the nines and share your pics to celebrate with us all
A Graceful Disgraceful end to a challenging year.

About the blog
There is definitely a lack of positive imagery showing older women out there, although, it is improving all the time. Instagram has definitely helped form a community of pro-age warriors. My aim as a make up artist and positive age champion is to produce some fun, untouched, non- stereotypical beauty images of older faces showing great make up and style. Lots of beauty chat too, on how women of all ages feel about their own ageing journey, their beauty routines and make up experience. Also occasional beauty news and facts.
I wonder if when we look in the mirror our dread of ageing is partly triggered from how we are made to feel in our society. So, let’s try and change that narrative.
Lets make a difference one face at a time.
