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