So, I have never been a fan of the ‘less is more’ adage, hence why I am at my current weight, have an obscene amount of clothes, jewellery, bags, shoes, books, candles……………………………………… you name it, I have too much of it… that includes make-up, not only in my 3 tier make-up case and drawers and make-up bags. ALSO my face!!!

As I have not been feeling at my best, weight wise (still cant get into clothes), mental health wise (menopausal madness), I have focused on having my full face on , one of my least favourite features. This isn’t a new thing, I always have make-up on, wont leave home without it, just dont usually wear the full face , however on looking at how many cotton pads I used to take said face off…….

I am clearly wearing too much and as you get older, (I am 56 FFS), it’s just not a good look .

So, today, I went for less…………………………………………. what do you think???

So, obviously the before picture isn’t actually me (don’t be cheeky), however Bette Davis did in fact do her own make up for Baby Jane and that isn’t far off how much I had on!!@

My attempt at ‘less is more’.

Base – Avon BB(LIGHT)

Blusher – Clinique (Innocent Peach)

Eyeliner – Max Factor (Smoky Grey)

Mascara – Estee Lauder

Lips – Mac Lipstick (Fabby – frost) and Pippa of London Lipliner (no 612).

And to get rid of any shine in the T areas – NYX finishing powder.

I don’t claim to be a beauty or a make up expert, I just try to make the best of the little I have.

I am worth it and so are you x
