…”I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls”… -Audrey Hepburn

We know that the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and sweating, can ruin or really cripple our accustomed-to make-up and beauty routine’s. However, instead of cringing at the thought of altering or even overhauling our skin care or make-up habits, let’s embrace it! I find it exciting to try new (and possibly better) products and ways of doing things!

Instead of our go-to lipstick, try a lip stain. It is exactly what it sounds like, a “stain.” I love lip stains, because they provide a long lasting, dash of color to our lips that can be used under a balm to keep our lips looking smooth and supple. Also, a stain will stay on during even intense hot flashes and you will still look amazing and fresh!

Speaking of stains, they can also be found for cheeks (cheek stain), rather than rouge or blushers. Apply these sparingly, and experiment before you head out for your day. They are more potent with color, and if you are used to using powdered rouge, you’ll be happy to find that they are also long lasting, therefore eliminating the need for re-applying throughout the day.

Be on the lookout for a water-proof and/or sweat-proof mascara too! These formulas also come in smudge proof, and with a touch of an eyelash curler, will have your eyes looking bright and open! (And we can forget about smatterings of dark color under our eyes at the end of our day!)

Sweat-proof foundations are great as well, I recommend applying with a slightly damp makeup sponge in order to get a light, sheer coverage. Remember, less is more.

Some of my favorite places to shop for makeup online are www.sephora.com , and many great user reviews can be found at www.amazon.com . I also use an amazing, paraben free skin care line by Sense (Please contact me directly for more details and the best prices here)
And while I truly believe that beauty begins on the inside, taking the time to put on our make-up and take care of our facial skin will help us to feel more confident, and boosts our self-esteem. I love to get “girly” and feel pretty, and you should allow yourself to feel that way too!

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
― Audrey Hepburn
