Meet the Creator
Hi there, nice to meet you! I’m Georgia Spyra, creator of Luxe Beauty Blog. I created Luxe to provide beauty content catering to women over 50 to help them feel and look their best.
For the last 30 years, I’ve worked as a makeup artist in the Canadian beauty industry. I’ve represented some of the top beauty brands in the world, have worked in the bridal, fashion, film & television industries, and was a makeup instructor in career colleges throughout Toronto.
In 2014, I became a hairstylist up worked up until recently. Today, I have pretty much retired, and I choose to blog about beauty for the mature woman instead.
The Story Behind Luxe Beauty Blog
Working as a makeup artist in my 30’s, I had many mature women sit in my chair, and apologize for their looks. Many would say, “I used to be pretty when I was younger”, as if age had somehow turned them into some kind of gargoyle. I believe they felt that way because our society values youth above all else!
Now, close to 60, I have my share of lines and grey hair. But when I was in my late 40’s, I fought ageing with everything I had. I did whatever was necessary to look younger, subjecting myself to scores of anti-aging treatments, to constant colouring of grey hair, and to the endless search for a miracle cream. Yet, the clock just kept ticking. In my mid 50’s, I eventually came to my senses and realized that the pursuit of youth was a losing battle! So I did the sanest thing I could, and embraced an age-positive attitude instead. I’m much happier for it, and the money saved is pretty awesome too! 🙂
Luxe Beauty Blog was the result of my journey towards age positivity. I hope my blog will empower women to fight against the belief that if you’re over 50 you cease to exist, that you are no longer beautiful. I believe that beauty exists regardless of age. It shines bright in the twinkle of someone’s eyes, in the sparkle of their silver hair, or the warmth of their smile.
Final Thoughts on Age, Beauty & Society
Georgia Spyra
“A man pretty much ages on his own terms; becoming what most people refer to as, distinguished. A woman however, is not afforded this same courtesy, and the hypocrisy of that makes me crazy!! Society considers age on a woman as unbecoming, which in turn fosters deep insecurity in many women over 50, including yours truly. But today, I accept myself as I am. I think you gotta be OK with where you’re at in life, unless you can or are prepared to blow half your life savings to look younger. After all, we have no control over gravity or Mother Nature.”
I hope you enjoy Luxe Beauty Blog, and I thank you for stopping by.
