Christmas week is upon us and I am just getting my head around it, putting my fake tree up (tying to be a bit sustainable this year) Yes, today on the 20th December. It is beginning to look alot like Christmas-finally!
Vicky 53 agreed to come and do my Christmas story with me, just a bit of fun, well alot of fun actually. We thought what ever our Christmas brings this year if we can we should still dress up and put those red lips on.
Christmas Beauty Chat
What are you doing this Christmas Vicky? I’ll be making my morning coffee while dancing in the kitchen with my dog to happy tunes, then go for a run with dog, then back to get “all dressed up with nowhere to go” and calling all my friends and family then out with friends with a big bottle of Champagne in hand!!
Do you have a Christmas make up look? I love eyeshadow – so sparkle and glitter. Maybe some of my festive Barry M loose glitter.
If you could choose anything – What skincare product would you ask Santa for? Creme De La Mer face cream
Make up product would you ask Santa for? Eye shadow palette(s)
What beauty treatment would you ask Santa for? Facial massage.

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.
Merry Christmas Everyone
