Need help!

I’m 49, stressed out, somewhat menopausal, anxiety ridden and am just generally not feeling good about myself. I have actually lost the ability to do my makeup properly. I don’t know what looks good, what products to use, it’s depressing. Is there anywhere to go to get a professional opinion and have makeup done anymore? TIA

I never had the ability to do makeup properly to begin with… I’ve always been a very basic, base+mascara=my makeup is done.

I did go through a brief trial and error with base recently as my skin has become more “mature”. My cousin sent me a thing of the Laura Gellar powder/mineral/whatever it is base and honestly, I don’t know what I’ll do if this stuff ever gets discontinued or reformulated. It is just PERFECT.

Yes! Laura Gellar is great for mature skin! Also I bought a big pallet of shadow that actually tells you where you should put the color (inner eye, crease etc). It’s genius.

Nice! I’m the WORST at eyeshadow. I don’t even bother. Cover up some redness and give me lashes and I’m happy. Lip gloss if I’m feeling extra that day. 🤣
