Fashion and Beauty Hacks
Watch this postI wonder why there seems to be no beauty and fashion category . I don't know about you but I feel I need fashion and beauty hacks now more than ever.
I think women (and men) should never feel that they're too old to make an effort to be pretty, sexy, and fashionable. 🙂

We are about the same age! I've got a pale complexion so if I have a day when I think that I won't bother with make-up, especially in these lockdown days when I know that I won't be seeing anyone from one day to the next, I've only to pass a mirror a couple of times and I'm diving for my make-up box as I just feel, and look!!! 🙂 more human when I've got my eyes and lippy on!

I sometimes feel that I'm stuck in a time warp with my make-up - still wear black eyeliner perhaps more discretely than in my teens but I feel better with my "face" on despite the advancing years! 🙂 Don't think that I want fashion advice though - I wear what suits me and what I can afford.
I used to feel naked without my liquid black eyeliner. But I started noticing a couple of years ago that it was aging me more. So i ditched it. I use eyeshadow now nstead.
Im getting rid of my clothes that i feel are not appropriate for my age. Struggling what to replace them with.
Know what you mean about the eye-liner! I use a pencil so it's not as harsh and I smudge it a bit. There are some great clips on Youtube by Tricia Cusden of Look Fabulous Forever giving advice on make-up for "older" ages.
Hi Trish
I still haven't quite figured out what is good for me (i'm in a fashion limbo) but I do know what's not --- my super short bodycon dresses lol
TBH i think people should wear whatever they want to wear for as long as it looks good on them and they feel comfy.
But recently i ve been seeing matured women dressing like teens and they look desperate. One of them wearing an ensemble that I have in my closet. Lol That triggered my wardrobe purging project.
I loooove stillettos but they dont love me back anymore. I mean, the agony of d feet!
Like you Carole, I was always in stilettos. I worked in advertising and I could run like Forrest Gump in high heels whenever I had death -defying deadlines lol. I wear flats most of the time now which dont really suit me cos I'm petite.
Nothing too tight too short or too pink. Hahaha Ok that will be my fashion mantra from now on Tr1sh. I've had some, er, a lot of stiletto incidents in the past too.
I think boots are cool altho theyre really not always appropriate in tropical places where it's either too hot or too "floody." Is that a word? Lol
It would be nice if we could post pics here of outfits we see online for inspiration. Then maybe we could "fashion police" each other 🙂

Im one of those people who like to try diy stuff they see online and ive had a few epic fails lol
