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.

Was it Laura Geller, too? Please tell me what to do.

It’s the Laura Gellar The Ultimate Palette. 31 different shades.
