While waterproof mascara is less prone to smudging, the stronger formulas can dry out lashes, which can become thinner and more fragile as we age. To get full-looking lashes these 2 tips will help
Like the ’80s obsession with perms, every trend must come to an end. One of the hardest for women to kick: frosty eye shadow. When eyelids become less taut, usually around age 40, it’s time to graduate from the glitter. Shimmer shadows settle into crinkles, magnifying crepey lids.
Matte shadows such as Maybelline ExpertWear Eyeshadow in pink petal ($4; drugstores), on the other hand, are extremely flattering. Taupes, lavenders, soft peaches, and grays work on all skin tones. Want to up the drama? Incorporate eyeliner in a jewel tone such as garnet or plum for a pop of color. To create the illusion of a lifted eye, avoid heavy liner on the bottom lash and apply it to the upper, outer corners of the eyes.
It’s an age-old fact: a dark color, be it on your floor, wall, or even lips, makes any surface area look smaller. Because lips naturally lose fullness over time, the last thing we want to do is shrink them. Plus, deep hues make teeth look less white. For lips that look juicy, wear vibrant lip glosses and lipsticks. To instantly update your look, slick on a sheer version of popular lip colors such as coral or hibiscus—try CoverGirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm ($6; drugstores), a line that’s full of fresh, youthful shades.
Women always choose blah cheek colors because they’re afraid of color. The reality is that bright blush actually brings youth and vitality to the face, helping to restore the look of fullness to sallow cheeks. Ditch dusty browns and roses and go for a cream formula in a floral shade. Creams blend better than powders and add the extra moisture mature skin needs.
One to try: Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain in Forever Pink ($25; shop.janeiredale.com). To apply, start by positioning your brush higher on the cheeks, then blend the blush downward toward the apples. This technique creates a more modern finish, compared with the pink stripes up to the temples that were popular back in the day.
It’s important to resist the urge to overpluck brows, especially as we age. Overtweezing can make brows disappear entirely, and those strands may never grow back. Thankfully, there are brow pencils and powders like Sonia Kashuk Arch Alert Brow Kit ($10; Target) that can bring sparse hairs back to their fullest potential.
To apply, start at the inner brow and work your way outward using a stiff, angled brush or sharp brow pencil, whichever you prefer, and make short, feathery strokes.
There’s a fine line between glowing and greasy skin, and many of us aren’t sure where it is. The biggest mistake women make when trying to control shine is forgetting to leave a little of that natural glow. One too many pats of powder can wash out the dimension from your face. A little glisten makes you look fresh.
To tone down oil without going overboard, use a lightweight pressed powder containing oil-absorbing mica and silica like makeup artist favorite MAC Blot Powder Pressed ($24; maccosmetics.com). Dust it on with a small blush-size powder brush rather than a big dome brush, which can dump powder like a bulldozer. For touch-ups throughout the day, I recommend using the compact’s puff and tapping it onto, rather than rubbing it across, the skin, a technique that promises to deposit just enough product without crossing the line.
I hope all you loves enjoyed! Cause I enjoyed giving you these tips!:)
