Looking Good - Mature Makeup Tips�?/FONT> "Tips To Help You Look & Feel Your Best"
------------------------------------------------------------ Makeup is something females can't wait to use when they're
young, have fun with it when they're getting slightly older,
and depend on when they're middle aged and older. Even after
using makeup for years and years, it should never be a "robotic"
application out of habit, or rushed. Makeup should always enhance
your features subtly and applied with thought while doing it no
matter what age you are. Today's makeup tips are for the 45+ age
group...
As we age, our skin texture changes. With that change, the makeup
we use should also change a bit...Some Do's and Don'ts to keep in
mind...
Tone down the vibrant shades and colors, they're aging...
Stay away from pearls or shimmery makeup. This will exaggerate the
texture of skin and enhance the lines and wrinkles, which I'm sure
isn't the look you're going for...
Don't choose matte products made for oily skin. They can make your
skin look pasty and dry. Matte lipsticks should also be avoided and
if you decide to go with the matte finished makeup and lipstick, look
in the mirror and think...Kabuki...
Don't apply blush to the bones of the cheeks. Faces become thinner
as they age and applying blush to the bones of the cheeks isn't very
flattering... Now...a few Do's...
Choose colors that are natural against your skin tone in richer,
moisture-based formulas. Cream blushes, cream eyeshadows, and
moisturizing foundation. Subtle rose or coral-toned moisturizing
lipsticks and glosses work best...
If you use a lipliner, stay with a neutral toned liner and use it
sparingly. Stay within your lip line and not outside it...
When you apply blush, smile and apply it to the apples of your
cheeks and blend, blend, blend...
If you use mascara and eyeliner, use them on the upper lashes
only to prevent lower eye makeup from running down and aging
you...
Use foundation, but sparingly, just where you really need it,
the sides of the nose, for example, or on red spots. For under
the eye, find a lightly textured concealer and blend with moisturizer
before applying... http://lookinggood.gophercentral.com |
