OK, so when it comes to beauty routines for your 20’s, 30’s and even 40’s, you’ve been there, done that and you’re ready for that next step. Some of those famous rules you’ve lived by for so long just don’t seem appropriate any more. And you know what? That’s OK! With age comes beauty and with beauty comes the essential routines for maximizing your best features and minimizing the things you’d like to downplay. Whether you’re feeling likes it’s time to switch up your lip color or it’s time to find a solution for working with fine lines, here’s a roundup of some the best beauty tips for women over 50.
9 Essential Beauty Tips for Women Over 50
1. Give your skin the love it deserves. No more hitting the hay with a face full of makeup, cleansing your skin every night is essential for allowing it to be its best.
2. Use a bit of moisturizer under your foundation and other cosmetics to help minimize and underplay fine lines.
3. Use natural-tone eyeliner rather than harsh colors – like black. You can even soften the look by smudging the liner just a bit – this will play up the eyes in a easy and natural way. Try a color like Motives Khol Eyeliner in Coffee or Suede instead of the usual black.
4. Pay attention to the way your skin behaves and what it needs with the changing of the seasons. In all likelihood, your skin will need some extra special moisture during the dry winter months. Alternate the type of foundation you use to accommodate those seasonal changes.
5. Play up your lips with colors that flatter. Rather than going with super dark colors, try warm pinks and reds to give your lips a fuller and plump appearance. My personal favorite is Rosewood by Motives.
6. Want to add some serious elegance and drama for a formal evening? Think about investing in false eyelashes. Go for something that lengthens and has a natural look – mink lash extensions are a great option – add a warm shadow and you’ll feel totally glamorous!
7. Use contouring techniques to enhance your cheekbones and other facial feature that you want to illuminate. A bit of bronzer, foundation and concealer will go a long way in creating that contoured look you’re after.
8. Go natural. Rather than overdoing your makeup – now is you’re time to shine without using too many products. You’re gorgeous! Remember that.
9. Smile, always smile. You’re happy demeanor is by far the best accessory out there – showing off your beauty from the inside out.
