As women work their way through the decades, their beauty requirements and regimens need to grow along with them. Tricks and habits that may have worked in their 20’s no longer enhance their beauty, and sometimes it may take a few new tricks, but beauty can be achieved at any age by following some good advice.
When it comes to applying makeup some small adjustments may help fight the aging process. It seems that mascara and lipstick are essentials that can brighten the face of any woman. With mascara, go for a gentle touch (no spider lashes!), and it may be time to switch from black to more of a charcoal or dark brown. Black can sometimes be too bold and draw attention to fine lines. Remember to apply the mascara to all lashes all on both the top and bottom lids. Some women also like to put it on the top and bottoms of the lashes themselves for a fuller look.
As for lipstick, use it conjunction with the eyes. If the eyes are the face’s focus, do more subtle lips. On the other hand, apply a bold lip color and play down the eyes for a different look. Most women in their 30’s and 40’s will do well with lip colors in tones of pink and brown which work with many skin tones. Try to stay away from the oranges as they can make teeth look yellow. Many women in this age bracket swear by lip liner. Apply this before lipstick, and it will not only help keep color on longer, but also keep the color inside the lips and out of the fine lines around the mouth. A little lip gloss applied on top can work for that added extra touch.
A big factor in maintaining an attractive look is makeup application and the product itself. By staying on a good health and beauty watch, helpful tips can also be incorporated into any lifestyle no matter the age. For instance, it may be time to switch to a moisturizer with not only sunscreen, but also some added ingredients for anti aging, like arginine or other amino acids. This will help fight fine lines and collagen loss to keep the skin looking healthy and youthful.
For the best beauty and health results, women should also drink lots and lots of water which keeps the face from getting dehydrated and helps diminish fine lines and dark circles. Stay away from the facial shimmers, as these can get into those fine lines and make them more pronounced. Keep brows trimmed to a shaped arc to help highlight eyes without darkening them.
By keeping abreast of makeup tips, using good makeup application and maintaining a health and beauty watch routine, age does not have to be a woman’s enemy. Women can age beautifully, and with some subtle beauty regime changes, the best may be yet to come.
