The last time I had a professional do my makeup was for my author photographs I had done at the beginning of 2008 for the promotional materials I had made up for Surprise!
However, they turned out so badly (read: bright and not suited to my skin tone) I converted them to black and white to see if that helped, but the contrasts/shadows were possibly even worse. I ended up scrapping the lot of them.
I was so embarrassed I didn’t even blog about it. Yes, they were THAT BAD.
Today was different, for today I have a Revlon Makeover Experience. My lovely makeup artist Nicole took her time and explained every step in the process. I was chosen for today’s experience because I fall into the age category the new Revlon Age Defying with DNA Advantage Cream is aimed for: the thirty-something woman who wants to take anti-aging preventative measures (this is what Nicole told me). This foundation has a broad spectrum SPF 20 (excellent – I refuse to put anything on my face without some sort of sunscreen) and is designed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles – of which I have plenty.
I took the above photo on my phone in the car coming home this afternoon, while the sun was still out. I’m really happy with how my makeup came out. I finally found a lip colour that suited me other than the plum shade I’ve been buying for years!
What’s even better?

It’s been a big birthday week – thanks to you all for helping me celebrate! I’ve had to go back on my Meniere’s medication, however, so I might be quiet over these next few days while it sorts itself out.
Have a lovely weekend xx

I love Revlon products, when I was younger and prettier I used to buy all my make-up from Revlon. Thank you Miscmum and thank you to Revlon!

Hi there!!! Revlon Age Defying, has a broad spectrum SPF 20 and is designed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles . I should have started this in my thirties, now in my fourties, but have always used revlon and their products always contain sunscreen, hence, I dont have alot of the old wrinklies!! But am excited to get the chance of trying Revlon age defying foundation. I will say your photo is illuminating,( not just sucking up ) and hope your birthday was fun!!!

RevlonAgeDefying makeup was produced for women to feel confident about their skin and looks by taking anti-aging preventative measures that reduces wrinkles and lines.
I’m actually entering this for my mom (shh, it’s a surprise) because I think my mom is beautiful, but I know she get’s worried about what is age is doing to her face. I want her to feel as beautiful as my father, my sister and I think she is. This would be an amazing opportunity for her to gain confidence in her appearance and be happy with the way she looks.
Also I am writing from the US, in Massachusetts. I wasn’t sure if this was an international contest, so I thought I’d apply anyway.
Thank You
Helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles? I’d like to see that.
Great makeover by the way and the lipstick colour suits you.
