Make up for menopausal faces

[FloofPaws]

Hi - help! I've not worn makeup for ages, I'm menopausal so always fear or sweating and makeup falling off, so just plain but feeling like shit! Please recommend me something! I've quite a red face, light skin, blonde and as mentioned sweaty horrible periods in the day - bloody menopause 😢

What don't you pop in to boots or somewhere where they have a make up counter? The women there are professionals, they will help you find good make up.

I use urban decay all nighter setting spray or the Charlotte tilbury one (that's a bit glowy though)

game changing!

Professional salespeople. Very variable makeup skills.

You might not want her exact look, but she's very good on skills.

Thanks everyone! Was put off by Boots as I bought a very expensive foundation a few years ago and it made me look orange 🙁

I'd find a good light concealer first and just use that as needed, rather than a full coverage foundation all over. You might want to combine that with a CC cream; IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream is recommended a lot. Or Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue: britishbeautyblogger.com/makeup/bareminerals-complexion-rescue-concealer-review/

Consider adding some TanLuxe THE FACE ILLUMINATING SELF-TANNING DROPS to your moisturiser. You can use as little as you want for just a little colour.

My skin is much oilier than it used to be, I use concealer with powder foundation and a setting blotting powder on top. I've never liked a lot of foundation on but the cystic acne that has developed needs to be covered.

It's now more of a glowy, dewy look with all that on rather than full on greasy shine.

Think this is really helpful too, OP:

IT Cosmetics foundation does not budge, nor does Estée Lauder Doublewear.
