Many women have a problem with makeup. Although they instantly spot another woman who looks great, they can not copy that look no matter what they try. Often, it's because they get stuck in a rut when it comes to makeup. Anti-aging is not simply eating right, exercising, and the like … it is everything from prolonging life to feeling good and looking your best.
Makeup can help you look great wherever you are at home cleaning your house or out on the town. Choosing the right colors and the appropriate textures are the most important factors. Of course, the base can make all the difference. As skin changes over time, so should your makeup. The base or foundation plays a big role. Make sure you choose the one that complements your skin, and skin tone. Under the foundation you should have a clean slate. Then, the proper moisturizer.
Now, you can begin. Start by applying your base, preferably with a damp cosmetic sponge. This ensures proper coverage and avoids clumping and caking. Follow up with a powder. These two products will ensure that your cosmetics "stick" and stay on longer without running.
Eyeliner: The older you are, the more you should steer clear of liquid liners. Use a pencil liner instead. Also, sometimes you should opt for browns or dark browns instead of black liners. It softens the look.
Eyeshadow: As you age, the wrinkles of the eyelids are more noticeable. Avoid creamy and sparkly shadows at all costs. Instead, try powders. They do not enter the creases as much, therefore they give your eyes a more youthful look.
Mascara: Always use mascara. Again, you can go with dark brown. Mascara makes eyes livelier.
Blush: As we age, our "rosy" color fades. In fact, the older we are, the more gray it becomes. Brush on some blush in more neutral tones with a real applicator blush brush. Throw away the brush that comes with the product as it makes it very difficult to apply and often causes streaks.
Lips: Use a lip liner! Match the lip liner to the lipstick! The older you are, the more you should opt for a lip stain which will avoid any running.
