Today I'm sitting down with renowned Hollywood makeup artist and skincare expert Helen Marray-Finlay. 

Makeup artist to the stars, Helen has spent her career creating the unforgettable faces of our favourite characters, working on movies including Pirates of the Caribbean and hit TV shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine. But after undergoing a hysterectomy and experiencing menopause, Helen's journey took a detour, and driven by her knowledge and passion for skincare, she founded Finlay+Green, a simplified skincare for menopause.

Today, Helen shares her insights on Hollywood, the glamour or otherwise, life as a midlife woman in LA and California, as well as some - certainly for me - much-needed makeup tips.
