Menopause Makeup Tutorial | Fifty Sense 

Hi Sue I started having hot flushes at 39 and had my last period at 46. Due to endometriosis I couldn’t do HRT peri menopause and had to go through it naturally. Now at 52 I still get the occasional hot flush, but nowhere near my early forties nightmare (up to 15 flushes a day with night sweats needing a during the night shower- it was grim without going into all the worsening of endo and other issues). I’m a bit of a resource for hot flush makeup for that reason 😂. My best tip is the lightest layer you can get away with and a green primer for base. It really does help disguise the associated redness (I like the Daniel Sandler one, but there are many others). Mac F&B is a good choice as it doesn’t really transfer when you blot your face if you also have dry skin. Eye primer is essential and I needed powder in my t zone despite being still very dry. I used the previous version of the Lancome teint idole during that time too and it worked really well. A hand held fan is a necessity to carry around with you and light layers of clothing to enable you to remove as needed. A menthol stick or balm on the back of the neck is super cooling- more cooling than you might expect. Misting with a hydrating spray and then using the fan is blissful. Strong antiperspirant is a must have- for me natural was useless. Baby wipes to wipe down areas of the body whilst in the washroom were invaluable during the worst of it. I hope that helps a few others out there struggling. Best wishes x

Great video. I am 62 and had the worst of menopause at your age when I ended up avoiding alcohol and chocolate as they were huge triggers. Fans everywhere and light clothing! Definitely light make up. I welcomed my Canadian winters at that time for sure. I found the emotional upheaval only lasted a year or two and then I was myself again. My sixties have brought me a beautiful grandson (although my daughter was in the fight of her life being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at 22 weeks pregnant with him and had to receive chemotherapy - she is cancer free finally). My point is I'm grateful I could summon strength at this time thanks to not being afraid to reach out for help. As I did in my early fifties with menopause. .xo

Menopause started at 40 for me, and now, at nearly 68, I am still going through it. I feel I am back at the beginning again. I don't where makeup much anymore. ❤

Hi. I am way beyond this stage but I sweat an awful lot in the heat; always have but it's even worse nowadays. It makes any eye makeup a Panda risk and stinging eyes. I use a very little of some special anti-redness concealer here and there. Thank you for a great video!

Menopause seems to have become a trending topic over the past few years. Before that, nobody seemed to talk about it. Apparently there are about 50 side effects. Is it really that horrific? I’m not quite there yet, but I think I’m in full blown perimenopause. Swollen ankles, broadening feet, weight gain and waking up once a night to twinkle. Primers and colour correction and richer moisturizer seem to be my friend during “the change”.

Something is happening to me. Clarins super restorative night cream used to feel too rich and heavy, now my skin eats it up!

My mascara inevitably winds up on my eyelids due to my hooded eyes. Waterproof mascaras don’t seem to help. Ahhh . . . The joys of getting older.

Sue-did you change the name of your channel? I put in Beauty Fortified to find you and was successful but I never noticed the Fifty Sense. Name before-quite catchy-I must say!!💕

A great video because of all the ways to accentuate the eyes which a I desperately need!! I🥲Though I’m a little afraid of products which aren’t hypoallergenic, but the only way to find out is to just try them-unless i could find a channel or person who would make a point of mentioning whether or not these things which go around the eyes are more or less irritating… Anyway thank you for packing so much info into one video!🌸🌹
