Makeup – How To Become 10 Years Younger For Old Ladies
Don’t kid yourself. In spite of what you may read about the “latest lip color” and “newest shade of eyeshadow”, much of the beauty industry and the image makers are still stuck in the past. Time for a dose of reality. Women (and men) will wear what they like, when and where they want to. It is increasingly evident that the cultural demographics of our country (and the world) are changing, and people who represent different races, religions, sexes and sexualities, and ages are being seen and their presence is being felt. Don’t ever think you are too old to wearing sexy or have fun makeup. To that end, I offer six steps making up an old lady to make her looks 10 years younger.
- To the right: Your beautiful complexion needs only a touch of concealer and foundation (especially around the eyes to help hold shadow), which is set with loose translucent face powder.
- Your brows are groomed and brushed into a soft arch and defined using a basic brown eyebrow pencil.
- Using a medium shadow brush, basic brown powder eyeshadow is softly washed over the eyelid; dark brown is used to define the crease and outer corner of the eye; light beige is used to highlight the browbone.
- Black liquid eyeliner lines the upper lashline – slightly thicker along the middle. Lashes are curled – especially important for women whose lashes grow straight out – and lightly swept with black mascara.
- The lips are defined with a light flesh lip pencil, filled in then covered with a basic red cr?me lip color, using a lip brush, blotted, and reapplied.
- Finally, soft pink powder blush is dusted onto the apples of the cheeks, chin, and temples, using a large blush brush.
Learn to expect and try the unexpected – and not follow any rules put into place by otheres, unless you are sure they’re right for you.
