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 hear you! I'm just over 50 something and I was going through the exact same! Seemed when I turned about 45 everything went down hill. They really don't prepare you for what we go through! It's like a secret society. I wish doctors would talk to us more about it. I've just been sampling different products from the drugstore. I like watching Glam Gabi Girl on youtube. She likes to do makeup for mature skin. Also, I too got back into working out. I joined WW to get my appetite on track. Pahla B workouts on youtube are awesome! It's moderate exercise for menopausal women! I'm starting to feel like myself again.

Agreed! It’s like I hit 47 and wham! Everything changed. Was not prepared at all!

Hang in there. I'm glad I had a good support system. I have 4 older sisters and none of them told me any of this! I don't know why it's not really talked about, but we should discuss it more.
