Meet the Creator!
Hi there, nice to meet you! I’m Georgia Spyra, creator of Luxe Beauty Blog. I’ve been in the Canadian beauty industry for the last 30 years. When I think about it, it seems impossible, but I am 58, after all, so there’s that!
During my 30 year career as a makeup artist, I’ve represented some of the top beauty brands in the world, and have worked in the bridal, fashion, film and television industries. Lastly, for 16 years, I was also taught professional makeup at various career colleges throughout Toronto.
And, finally, ten years ago, in 2014, I received my hairdressing license and worked as a hairdresser up until recently. Today, I have pretty much retired from the beauty industry, and have chosen to blog about beauty for the mature woman instead.
“A man is allowed to age 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. I have felt badly about my age and my looks, in the not so distant past. But, today, I choose to embrace an age-positive attitude and to accept myself as I am. I think you gotta be OK with where you’re at, unless you can or you’re prepared to blow away half of your life savings keeping ageing at bay. After all, we have no control over gravity or Mother Nature.”

Why Did I start Luxe Beauty Blog?
To go against the preposterous societal belief that a woman over 50 is no longer beautiful, and should fight ageing with everything she’s got.
In my 30’s while working as a professional makeup artist, I had way too many mature women sit in my chair, and apologize for their looks. Many of them would say, “I used to be pretty when I was younger”. I would smile and say, “Well, I hope to make you feel that way again today…okay?” Their response was usually a half-hearted smile. But, when I finished their makeup, what I got were happy tears; that was food for my soul.
Many women seem to give up on feeling pretty after 50, including myself. That’s why I created Luxe Beauty Blog. I wanted to help myself, and to help other women see, that YES DAMN IT…we can still be pretty!!!
I hope that you enjoy Luxe Beauty Blog and that you discover some useful tips you can incorporate into your daily beauty routine. Thank you for stopping by.
With Love,
Georgia Spyra
