The first photo of me is the before the treatment

The first photo of me is the before the treatment.
The last photo in this series of video clips and pics is the after treatments.
.
Thank you @facegym for my lovely treatment
.
My treatments shown here in my video clips are a signature electrical and an cryo oxygen.
.
The session included:
a rigorous lifting manual massage, then a ball massage,  then the electrical current which very strong and definitely not relaxing, then a gentle massage with a comb type probe and then with a piece of jade and finally the oxygen cryo.
.
My face now definitely has more definition after the treatment and my skin looks plumped and glowing. .
I would love to be able to treat my face and skin to this facial workout more regularly.
.
I like to look good for my age without resorting to surgery, botox or fillers.  This treatment is definitely fabulous.
.
These video clip have no filters.

Dont be self critical

Dont be self critical. 
No one is perfect, whatever your age.
Dont believe the filters.
No celebrity I have ever styled has been perfect.
Embrace your flaws and love yourself.

Happy face

Happy face. Haircut day. No make-up selfie. No filters.
.
Thank you @andyatagency as always.
Thank you @chanelnott for my blondeness.
Love my 2 favourite hairdressers.
.
As you get older often shorter hair cuts can be more flattering as they frame and lift the face instead of the impression of dragging down.. Also the correct hair colour tone is very important too as it can make so much difference to flattering or draining your skin tones. .

This is an example of a makeover transformation of a young newly transitioning mtf client of mine

This is an example of a makeover transformation of a young newly transitioning mtf client of mine. Her face is cropped for client privacy and anonymity.
.
I taught her how to dress to suit her changing body shape from hormone treatment, and how less is always more in the style stakes.
.
I showed how to cover any residual beard shadow with makeup tricks which would be easy for her to do on a day to day basis-without resorting to heavy coverage camouflage.
I also reshaped her eyebrows which made an enormous difference to feminising the face.
.
I used
Nars foundation stick
Kryolan colour wheel
Clinique lip balm
L'Oreal eyebrow pencil .

Getting ready for a black tie ball

Getting ready for a black tie ball. 
Trying out a skyn ICELAND hydro cool firming face gel mask with extensin and peptides.

We will see how it works! 
Feels cool and tingly-must be doing something. It's a leave on for 10 mins and peel off mask......

Blonde again! with my wonderful very pregnant colourist

Blonde again! with my wonderful very pregnant colourist. 
Hoping that the baby doesn't come early!  @chanelnott 
As we get older the creamy tones of blonde hair are so important as hair colour should compliment, brighten and enhance your facial skin tones. .

A selection of my favourite makeup brushes and products from @primark

A selection of my favourite makeup brushes and products from @primark.beauty .

I was browsing in Primark Oxford st and checked out their new beauty products which apparently have had a recent significent financial investment. 
I was really impressed with their makeup brushes which I then bought for a transgender MTF client so she could experiment with her newly learnt makeup application techiques, taught by me, with these brilliant inexpensive makeup tools.

The brush prices ranged from £1-£2.50 and were excellent in both texture and balance between softness and firmness for application and blending away.

The key to a good make application is blending and blending away. 
Its not all about countouring as seen in so many airbrushed insta MUA posts. 
It's so important to be able to blend away,  especially for a trans girl who may still be covering her remaining beard growth during her laser/electrolysis/hormone treatments with layers of concealer products,  foundation and powdering to set.

However blending away is important for all girls whether it's eyeshadow, foundation, concealer or blusher.
.
.

The brushes shown here include double ended brushes:
Angled eyebrow brush
Eyeshadow and concealer brush
Apply and blend brush 
Foundation and concealer brush
Powder and finish brush 
And
Blender sponge
Mattifying powder
And an artist palette of eyeshadows.

Great makeup tools for starting out.
Total £29! ( i doubled up on some of the brushes for my client)

Loving my July haircut with @andyatagency Thank you xx

Loving my July haircut with @andyatagency Thank you xx.

My last haircut till September. My hairdresser Andy's client sitting next to me at the salon said she had dress envy. So sharing with you that my white lace dress came from Zara last summer and was on sale too. 
Btw I've always found that for both myself and often for my lady clients age 60plus shorter haircuts that frame the face, often at jawline length, can act as an instant facelift helping us look 10 years younger.
