As you have possibly noticed, I am a redhead, and with being a redhead, comes tricky skin. It can be dry, sensitive and easily sunburnt. I have had so many make up brands used on my skin, and dealt with the fallout from some of them. When I was living in Paris and working frenetically, I didn’t really have time for problems of the epidermal type, so I became a patient of an amazing Dermatologist, who talked me out of spending £89,000 for a thimbleful of La Prairie moisturiser ( face cream of choice for most models of the time ), and put me on to a line of products by a company called Roche Posay, where the average product costs less than £20, go figure!
Sneaky Eyeshadow
I do think that as we get older, there is some truth behind the idea that less make up generally gives a more youthful appearance, and vice versa. But there are days when a sneaky bit of eyeshadow can make the difference between ‘ how are you ?’ and, ‘you look great’. But, for me, none of that works if, after an hour of being radiantly lovely, the scene on my face, switches to looking like an extra from one of the Twilight films, with my eyeshadow for blusher.
