Why Crafty Crone? Why not? Darlings, I’m no babe. You don’t cram almost 40 years of beauty journalism onto your CV without accruing just a few (and yes, I’m owning them!) wrinkles, or a lifetime’s insider knowledge. Believe me, this Crone knows her craft. A Crone is wise enough to sort puffery from plausible, dross from desirable and waffle from what really works, now. Wise enough in fact, to act her age fabulously. So if you too have reached that milestone where you’re bored with beauty buys that don’t seem to pull their weight, or juvenile tips that just don’t fit - you’ve come to the right site. This beauty blog sorts the grownups from the girls. Welcome and enjoy!
