Every day make up look for 38 year old with grey hair?

I stopped colouring my hair 12 months ago and am now entirely my natural hair which is pretty grey. I happy to be grey but can't get my make up right, everything looks wrong and I feel really washed out.

I've tried looking online but I feel everything is too old for me, any ideas?

Another bump for you!

I've thought of growing my hair out and going grey, so would also like to know this!

Sometimes natural grey can take a while to get used to or make you look a little washed out. Many women find having a rinse or a few highlights really helps. If you don’t want this I recommend you go for a couple of free professional makeup consultations. Take photos inside and outside and see what works x

Black eyeliner, mascara and matte red lipstick.

Stunning and simple

Satchell I don't regret growing my hair out at all but really underestimated how different I'd look. I feel awkward, I'm not so young any more, but also not old yet!

Numberonecook a consultation is probably the way forward. I'm not sure low lights would do much for me as I'm not completely grey, it's quite salt and pepper. I'm lucky in that many of the younger people I work with think I've dyed it this way!

PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair I'm not sure I'm brave enough for this look, but I do love it. I'll have to try it again.

I watched a YouTube video which has resulted in me buying some cool pink toned lipstick and gloss for a change. Not sure yet what I think.
