Makeup Tips For Older Women
Beauty and makeup are not the monopoly of young age.
It is actually at 40 that the real need of makeup starts. The makeup for
older women need not be more sophisticated and classy. It is because
they have to be specific about the colors and texture of makeup they
use. The make up they wear also reflect about the society they belong
to, so at this age more than looking beautiful, makeup becomes a way to
flaunt the class and hide the ageing signs. The basic challenge in
applying make up over an old lady is to cover her ageing marks and give
her a graceful look.
Difference between the make up of Older and Younger Women
- The makeup of older women needs to be more graceful than that of
young women.
- The use of colors should be done in a more classy way. There
should be use of more pastel shades. Excess glittery and skin showy
clothes should be avoided.
- The combination of accessories with the dress should be very
sophisticated and stylish.
- Makeup should focus on hiding the ageing marks like wrinkles,
blemishes and scars if any.
- As there is a little less scope to go out of way in hairdo and
hair color, the experiments should be done in a subtle way with hair
cuts.
- It is always preferable to go for regular cuts and suitable
trends other than blindly following the fashion.
- Remember it's not about looking younger; it is about looking
beautiful at your own age.

Make up advices for older women
Hair
Reconsider your hair style. Go for a change that compliments your face
and profession at your age. Also, go for colors lighter in shade for a
softened and graceful look.
Eyebrows
As by this age, your eyebrows may start getting sparser and the color of
your eyebrows may begin to fade, give them additional definition with a
powder, pencil or gel that is similar to your natural hair color.
Face
Do not go with very heavy foundations; try liquid foundations mixed with
moisturizer to nourish your dry face. Also try to use a shade of
reflecting foundation. Even use the lighter shade of powder which is
moisturizing, and goes on smoothly. In case you use blush, make sure
that you use cream blush instead of a powder for a more bedewed
appearance. Use a non-frosted powder below your chin to hide the saggy
neck.
Eyes
Make sure you curl your lashes as this brings a big change in the way
you look. Use neutral shade of shimmer for more natural look. Use a
judicious yet classy use of liner and mascara. Avoid wild colors, go for
mild ranges. Prefer the blends of pink and gray eye shadows that soften
graying hair
Lips
Your lips must have started getting a little dry by now. So the
challenge before you is giving your lip, a fresh and young look. Prefer
using foundation and powder close to the lip line. You can also go for
an anti-feathering lip primer to avoid feathering. Choose graceful
shades of lipsticks. More than colors pay attention to the moisture and
fullness of your lips. Pink, Berry, Coral or Peach shades are good
options.
