Such a mess

Just that really, 48 this year & feel utterly vile!! Fully aware it's all very superficial & I am so fortunate to have good health & a lovely family but would love to have more confidence in my appearance. It's been a life long thing and even now when people see my husband I get comments like "he's very handsome isn't he?!" In other words "how the hell did YOU land him??!". I just feel if I was happier with how I looked I'd have more confidence in myself generally - does that make sense?. I'm finally in a work role where I can really progress but I need to put myself out there more & it's difficult when I feel like a pale insipid hag!! So as not to drip feed, I am size 10/12 (weight isn't really an issue for me) short dyed blonde hair, pale with no eyebrows or dress sense and minimal budget. I just want to look healthy, groomed & well put together if that's at all possible........?

Bb cream makeup , for a little glow , eyebrow pencil or a wax and tint to get your eyebrows back .
I have been reading a blog ‘ midlife chic ‘
Clothes can be pricy but it will give you ideas
The blogger is blonde too so you will be able to get some inspiration on colours that suit you

Could you start drying your eyebrows in? I have this powder thing that lasts for months.
