For ...Perhaps try the Ellis Faas liquid eyemakeup. <br />For blue eyes and fair hair, you might like to try the eye colour E106. Its a very pretty lilac/grey colour - you can make it as light or dark as you wish by the amount you apply. The advantage for us is that it doesn't accentuate wrinkles, and is very easy to apply. <br />Suggest you ask for a demonstration as its a new type of application to get used to - but really worth it! <br />Although the girls at the counter propose other Ellis Faas products to use with it, I have found you can combine with powder shadows quite easily - Ellis dont do a cool taupe for the upper lids, so the Nars "Barritz" works well here for the inner corner and just under the eyebrows. To line the eyes without a harsh eyeliner try the Nars Bengali - again good with blue eyes and cool skin, fair hair. Apply with the Nars Number 2 brush - its called an eyeliner brush I think, and is flat and quite stiff. Finally, the Ellis mascara is fantastic, also the foundation. If you have time, look at some of the videos on Lisa Eldrige's blog site - really good hints for all sorts of makeup tips. Hope this helps!

It completely explained everything to me and covers all sorts of great stuff plus fab before and after pictures. I love that book - highly recommended. I even sent a copy to a few friends of mine - it really spoke to me.

It gives a very natual but even cover and does not feel or look heavy. My latest find that I have been using for some time now is Waitrose Bottom Butter! I read about it in The Times a while ago as it had become a complete hit amongst all the Mums who had bought it for their babies and then tried it on their own faces! It lives up to its own hype! It makes your skin feel wonderful and is £2.54 a pot! Waitrose report that they have sold 14 years worth in just one year it has become so popular! I use it everywhere and it has the added bonus of being completely natural!gilliecocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530458300946919930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773101387975478121.post-87063600087592728362011-02-13T01:24:09.843+00:002011-02-13T01:24:09.843+00:00About 5 years ago I ran onto the online makeup pro...About 5 years ago I ran onto the online makeup products of Lauren Hutton. She includes a video that explains how to make up a face for the aging women.<br /><br />I wear her makeup line, which looks very natural, when we go to an event such as a ball or cocktail party.<br /><br />Since living in Northern California two years ago and now in Indonesia with many Australian expats, I never wear makeup on a daily basis. I wear sunscreen, get a good haircut that I can wash and go with, lots of exercise and good food.<br /><br />I'd love to start going gray. In Northern California it is the norm. <br /><br />AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773101387975478121.post-40031142225515486822011-02-13T00:58:18.231+00:002011-02-13T00:58:18.231+00:00Hi Jeanne, I think there is no substitute for good...Hi Jeanne, I think there is no substitute for good nutrition. Garbage in/Garbage out and no amount of make-up can hide that abuse. So, lots of pure water, organic fruits and veggies and healthy grains and proteins. That said, I use Jane Iredale and Aveda Products...and do so minimally. One of my 50 things to do at 50 is to have a make-up makeover. I've got that scheduled for around the 2nd week in April. For my 50th birthday I decided to "go gray" after years of pretty auburn, so my make-up needs have changed.Janet Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045411655901481863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773101387975478121.post-10098323169082480832011-02-12T23:37:18.521+00:002011-02-12T23:37:18.521+00:00I get a bit lost at the makeup counters, too, Jean...I get a bit lost at the makeup counters, too, Jeanne. I become overwhelmed by all the makers and products. I have on occasion, had my makeup done at the counter and I then feel obligated to buy products. I rely more on advertisements in magazines to guide me in buying products. I subscribe to a magazine for women over 40 called More. Do you have that in the UK? The advertisements are aimed at the over 40 crowd as well.<br /><br />One brand I love is Prescriptives. It is very no nonsense and they have some wonderful shades. I also like Clarins and Estee Lauder. <br /><br />XO,<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.com
