Budget Option: The above concealer formula's are pretty darn special. They are light weight, liquid and light-reflecting .. so perform spectacularly under the delicate crinkly wrinkly eye area. I'm yet to find a budget buster formula that performs anywhere near as well. Totes worth the investment.
Dive in. Be the smokey eye goddess that you know you can. Beauty is ageless, confidence is everything and feeling incredible is the secret. If you want a little face to face hands on support click here to join one of my makeup masterclasses specifically for women over 40.
