I came across this video the other night when trawling YouTube
(as I do, way too often). It stuck out to me, though, as I feel so strongly
about learning how to do make up that suits your age – never looking too
overdone but also not neglecting it, leaving you looking tired and, well, old.
This video by the fabulous Mary Greenwell lays it all out;
from making sure your canvas is beautiful dewy and hydrated (but never looking
overly oily) to using the bare minimum to accentuate the things you want to accentuate.
And, oh so importantly, to avoid contouring on any level.
So interesting how she used the brushes in different ways! I have all the ones she used so I'm definitely going to try out the way she used them.
ReplyDeleteShe is incredible. I also found it so interesting how much moisturiser etc she used and so much use of her hands! Oh, and I want to look like this when I am 50!!!!
