Let's talk about menopause and how it can affect our makeup routine (amongst the many other things!). As we go through this natural phase of life, our bodies undergo significant hormonal changes that can impact our skin, hair, and overall appearance. From dryness and thinning of the skin to changes in oil production and the appearance of wrinkles, menopause can throw a curveball into our makeup game (I have first-hand experience of this).
But fear not! There are plenty of tips and tricks to help navigate the changes and feel fabulous during this stage of life. From adding extra moisture to your skincare routine to using specific makeup products designed for mature skin, there are ways to adapt and still look and feel your best.
Here are the top 4 things that’s helped me:-
Up the anti on hydration and moisturising skincare. I personally love Oskia, some of Beauty pies' Hyaluronic products and I've shifted to cream cleansers. I avoid fragrance not only does it irritate but it dries my skin further.
Loose foundation, if you are pale like me then tanning drops in your moisturiser really help with some colour and CODE LLE will be the best replacement; it will conceal, lift, brighten, and smooth without sitting in lines.
Use a cream blush like CODE HTG, it will instantly bring back the glow, it’s more hydrating and will give you a more dewy look compared to powder products which often accentuate dryness and fine lines.
Experiment with different eye makeup looks to enhance your eyes and lift any droopiness that may come with age. Don't be afraid to play with bold colours to add some fun and confidence to your look! The Instant Eye Lift Kit & CODE HTG will be your best friend here.
Here are a few kits that I think you will love...
Before I leave you, I personally found these two books amazing, and they helped me feel normal again! Davina McCall's "Menopausing" and Dr. Louise Newson’s "The definitive guide to the perimenopause & menopause".
I first saw these products on Instagram.
I immediately felt comfortable with Sarah as she applied the FFL & other products.
I ordered some FFL & it’s absolutely brilliant!!! I like the colour & texture & my mascara sits beautifully on top. I also love the fact that these sisters aren’t ‘pushy’. I was inspired by the modesty about their products. I’ve just ordered some
LLE & as Sarah says, a little goes a long way & it feels lovely on my skin, so easy to blend in too. Thee service I’ve received is fantastic . The quality of the products is excellent & I love their ethical approach. I will definitely be recommending CODEBeautiful to friends & family. I turn 60 this year & you ladies have certainly helped me feel more confident…. So, thank you !!!!
Another great product. Being a child of the 70s my eyebrows have been plucked to nothing. Have always been reticent to go down the micro blading route and have tried so many different eyebrow products over the years. This one was so easy to use and actually gave me brows that not only looked good but felt authentic. It’s a 10 out of 10 from me. 😀
Fabulous product. Have to say I wasn’t expecting much but it went on easy and then a good coat of mascara and my usual miniscule lashes just grew and grew. Can’t fault the product and will definitely be using again and again
Love this product,blends beautifully for under eye concealer and any areas of redness around my nose and chin.I use shade Fairer Soul every day .Fabulous concealer.
I love these products they are quick and easy to apply, the video helps with tips on how to use it.
I have bought all three now and I love them all, but deep moments gives me that sun kissed look.
I wasn't entirely convinced when I bought this product but I'm very happy to report that it's fabulous! It really does lift & brighten the eye/ eyelid.
I love this product. I was so sceptical at first but it is amazing. My lashes have never been so lushes. I'm 74 and my lashes were very lack lustre but since using forget fake lashes I no longer have an issue. BRAVO
I’m very sceptical of online claims but I felt there was something genuine about The two sisters
I’m very sceptical of online claims but I felt there was something genuine about The two sisters. I took a chance… most unusual for me!
I wasn’t to be disappointed. Their description and picturesof the outcome are genuine. I’ve always wanted ‘visible’ lashes and I’ve got my wish☺️.
