BFM WOL.....LOL NOT !

OK, so now that I am 46 years old I have been experimenting. It wasn't really necessary when I was younger, as I just stuck to what I knew and it seemed to work fine. I was always happy anyway and had no complaints from the opposite sex. Getting older has it's drawbacks though as the same old techniques fail to deliver and I have found myself lacking in satisfaction. Some time ago I went out and bought a few items to add to my old bits and pieces and up until about a week ago, it seemed to be doing the trick, except for a few people advising me that I looked a bit pale. You will remember that, a week ago, I bought a wand, but according to The Mad One, it looks like I am going to need a the Fairy Godmother, pumpkin, mice and a large sprinkling of magic to conceal my under eye wrinkles. I arrived at her immaculate ( ha ha ! ) house this morning for a cuppa, having spent some time in my en suite applying make up and liberally waving my wand around. All week long, I have used an eye cream, moisturised within an inch of my life and tried to re create the luminous dewy look so expertly created in Charlotte Tilbury....it appears I have failed. The Mad One caught sight of me this morning ad exclaimed loudly " you need to fix your make up...you have wrinkles under your eyes !!!" Through pursed lips, I advised her that I had used a wand on myself, but that there is only so much a wand can cover as I do in fact have wrinkles under my old eyes. " Why did I never see them before?" she asked incredulously, to which I painfully added, that my new large varifocals had not only cost a fortune, but are kindly highlighting my undereye area...bloody marvelous hey !
Quickly in a very loud tone, mimicking that used in a cardiac arrest situation, she called her 6 year old, asking her to quickly get the concealer set I had bought The Mad One for Christmas .It duly arrived and was applied, but my return to the kitchen suggested that it had not had the desired effect, as The Mad One then threw me her entire make up case. " You need an eye cream and illuminator " she said....." WTF do you think is in my wand" I shrieked, "I feel like a wrinkly old woman... a WOL " !!! The Mad One thought this was hilarious, but as only a sister can do I retorted with " So....how much weight have you lost this week???" The two of us burst out laughing, I promised to review my make up regime in an effort not to embarrass my younger sister any further and we tucked into some scrambled eggs.
I took the liberty this evening of looking at U tube tutorials entitled "Baking your under eye ", "How to fix crepey under eyes " and "Make up for Mature skin ". Needless to say they were mostly Americans but all 3 videos had the same conclusions

1. Do not apply foundation under your eyes
2. Do apply concealer in a dotting motion and blend in with a make up "bud"
3. Apply powder in vast quantities to finish off

I decided not to view the Botox video even though The Mad One has asked if I had considered it **** ***. I have a dinner party in my home tomorrow night, which unfortunately I invited the Mad One to, so tomorrow evening , I will be in front of my magnifying mirror for some time....ageing is a right b****d !
