Holding Back The Years

I’ve had a lovely time today with Frey-Ja Barker, a make up artist at Fenwicks in London. My makeup, which I’m sad to say is my mask, really needed an update as my application routine hadn’t really changed for years. I didn’t want to bare my face in front of a crowded cosmetics counter so privacy was paramount. Frey-Ja has a very good pedigree and there’s not much in the way of makeovers she hasn’t tackled in her professional life from filmstars through to brides. I was in expert hands and I’m glad to say I also now look much younger. My bright pink statement lipstick is gone, along with the blue mascara (my trademark) and the liner round the bottom of my eyes. They have been replaced by softer colours which I didn’t think I’d like but I do. I’m always quoting the phrase “less is more” to my own clients and now I’ve got a dose of my own medicine as my new look is less ‘heavy’. Frey-Ja commented on my clear skin, which although dehydrated was good for my age. This was nice to know as I’ve never actually thought of it like that before, especially with my history of excessive sun bathing, smoking and the fondness for a drink or two. So, the clock has started to go backwards. I look younger now than when I was 49. Keep this up and I’ll be the youngest looking 60 year old you’ve ever met.  Tel: 0207 409 9824 for further details
