Just filmed my last YouTube tutorial of my 40’s! The big 50 for me on Wednesday - how lucky am I 😘 A bittersweet birthday, so many people I love who are no longer here to help me celebrate, but, I’ll be raising a glass to them. My plan for my 50’s, who knows, I haven’t read the manual on how to be a number - I’m just going to be me. X 
Ad,bought / @trinnylondon this new BFF Serum De-Stress is fast becoming a great love, I find applying it with fingers gives the perfect base and my goodness it gives lift and light to the face. Thanks to @missamandalamb who raved about this and peaked my interest. #makeup #makeuptutorial #makeuptutorials #makeupartist 
Ad/bought - Obsessed with @glossieruk @glossier Super Glow - such clarity to my skin and so smooth. Futuredew is the stuff of dreams, ethereal skin at your fingertips. #makeupartist #makeup #skincare #skincareroutine #skincareblooger #over40 #50plus 
Rainy days call for glitter eyeshadow and sleeping bulldogs! (Tongue out is the only way to sleep, apparently) 
Ad:pr - @itcosmeticsuki never disappoint, and this Your Skin But Better foundation is sublime, it’s water light, offers medium coverage and the radiance of an angel. This feels like nothing on the skin, yet it evens out areas of redness and blemishes, gives a healthy glow and hydrates. I’ve found this ideal to work over my rosacea, it doesn’t accentuate any dry areas and my skin looks natural. It could be my new favourite from iT. I ❤️ it. #makeup #itcosmetics #yourskinbutbetterfoundation #makeuptutorial #makeupartist #foundation 
Ad:pr - @maybelline Eraser Eye, I’ve featured this for years, superb concealer to disguise dark circles, redness & blemishes. Sponge applicator that smooths the product where needed. 18 shades, under £10 - no surprises it’s the best selling concealer in over 20 countries. It’s one of the few concealers I find doesn’t sit in any fine lines under the eye area, it’s also ideal to disguise my rosacea - it doesn’t accentuate the dry patches that come with the redness. #maybelline #maybellineeyeeraserconcealer #concealer #makeupartist #makeuplooks #makeuptutorials 
Ad-pr: never doubt the power of potions - @potionparis vials of powerful scents. Choose your favourite scent from the discovery set and then you can order 10ml potions that slot into the most exquisitely designed perfume bottles - pure luxury. More to come on these tiny, but, powerful scented fragrances and the box even hit the note, well, memory for me. Check out my blog this week for a little trip down memory lane thanks to @potionparis @freedompruk #fragrance #perfume #fragrancecollection #potionparis 
#nofilter - I’ve yet to perfect a selfie where I don’t look petulant. After weeks of illness with humans in the house and our four legged girl, it’s been a time since my face saw makeup. #makeup #makeuptutorial #makeupartist #makeuplooks #makeupideas #over40 #nearly50 #makeuptime 
Ad,pr, previous pr - trying so hard to keep some semblance of a skincare routine, it’s been relaxing to only think of the few items I use now. @a.florenceskincare still the essential brand for my skin, ideal for compromised skin. The @anlanskin Skin Massager (the translation calls it a skin scrubber!) this is beyond a scrub, ultra-sonic, with a wonderful massaging setting - my review will be up on Rougepout.org later this month. #skincare #skincareroutine #rosacea #over40 #skincareblogger
