Dying to slap on some heavy-duty foundation and a thick coat of blush for a soiree? Don't, say makeup experts who now believe that age appropriate makeup is the new buzzword of the hour.
This does not mean that you need to put away your brushes and colourful eyeliners, just because you've cross a certain age milestone. What it does mean, is that you have to realize what happens with age to your face and work your makeup in such a way that you can counter those flaws.
One of the most important areas that is a big age-give away is the eye area. Puffy eyes and crow's feet have to be dealt with, either by way of treatment creams or with the use of concealers. But have fun with your eyes too. There is no need to use nude eye makeup or brown mascara just because you think you are older. Black mascara can look perfect when teamed with a lighter eye shadow to give your eyes some depth. As for your eyebrows, keep them dark, but not jet-black. Define them carefully or go to a professional salon to keep them in shape. Give them a bit of an arch as you grow older to give your face a slight lift.
Another drawback as you grow older is the problem of lack lustre skin. Since the face does not produce as many oils as when you were younger, dry skin can also be a problem as much as tired skin. All in all, the skin can look dull, patchy and pigmented. The first step in your makeup regimen therefore should be illumination. Wear a radiant primer, powder or foundation. Add anything that will add a bit of sparkle to your face and make you glow.
However, there should be no shine on your nose, so combat the shiny nose problem, either with a pore definer or some blotting paper. Cover all pigmentation with a concealer that is close to the colour of your skin.
While many old school makeup folk say that older women should stay away from blush and the rouge pot, this is no longer the norm. Use a blusher to look flushed and pretty, as it adds radiance too. Sweep your blush brush up and apply colour away from your cheeks to enhance your features.
As for lip colour, make sure that you use moisturizing or conditioning lipstick or gloss. The mouth seems to become slightly smaller or dryer with age, so keep your lip colours light and glossy to make your lips look plumper. Don't use very dark colours or too many nude shades as these could look dull and unbecoming. Keep rich colours for the evening, and go for soft pinks, corals or light lilac or brick shades to look sparkling and fresh all day.
