Gorgeous at Any Age: Tips for Choosing Makeup for Grey Hair!

By Imogenl @ImogenLamport

I was recently asked to make a new “five minute makeup” video now that I have grey hair, so here it is!

Now the video is more than 5 minutes long (cos I was chit-chatting with you) but I wanted to let you know that I did actually time how long it takes me to apply my makeup, on my average morning and I discovered that it takes me only 4 minutes. That’s because I do the same thing all the time so I’m not having to think about it and because I’ve practiced it every day now for years!

Makeup doesn’t have to take a lot of time, but it can have a big impact on how you look.

All the products I used are available here if you’re interested.  I’ve categorised all my makeup into Warm and Cool – so that you can easily choose makeup that will flatter you if you know your undertone.

Blush: Mauve Rose

Eyeshadow Base Primer

Eyeshadow: Pink Glow, Cashmere Matte, Steel Blue Ice (as eyeliner), Silver

In the video I chat about a foundation brush that’s like this one here.
