Aging Beautifully

As you get older, you don’t want to use too much makeup as it will not flatter you. One thing not to skip on however, is foundation. It brightens the skin, and makes you look youthful. Find a foundation or powder that works well for you.

Using blush is fine but just don’t overdo it. Use an upward sweep for the most flattering look.  If your skin is dry, find a cream blush formula such as the one below.

Use a creamy lip liner to look great. Even if your lips are dry, it will still look good, unlike when you use a dry lip liner. Match it to the color of your lipstick.

I LOVE this cream blush!  It’s nice to add a cream blush rather than a powder blush at times for a dewy look.  You don’t want to have too many layers of powder that are susceptible to settling in your fine lines.
