Beauty at Fifty

19.jpg

Many women look beautiful even when they cross fifty, sixty or even seventy. These women know how to combat the ravages of time.

As you grow older never allow your skin to feel or get dry. Never use soap at this age. You should instead clean your face with a good cleansing milk. Never wash your face more than it is necessary and never wash your face with very hot or very cold water. Always wash it with tap water. In the night massage cold cream into the skin, in the morning before taking your bath, massage Vaseline in the skin. In the day use a moisturizer to prevent any natural moisturizer from being lost to the atmosphere.

You have to keep in mind that there are keys while doing makeup:

  • Before you start your makeup application, laid out necessary things needed.
  • The five minute makeup does not apply to every occasion. Thus, it is important to know the kind of activity you have on that day.

Blush It On

While applying blush, you desire the color to appear soft and natural, as if it comes from within. Read below for tips on how to put on make-up. 1. Tap or lightly blow on the applicator brush to take away any leftover blush before applying to avoid a callous and uneven application. 2. Put in your blush on the apple of the cheek and vigilantly combine towards your normal hairline.  3. If you comprise two shades, apply the darker one on the apple of the cheek first, and then use the lighter shade to emphasize. Blend well so there is no noticeable line between colors. 4. Focus your temples, forehead and chin.

Cheek Color

To identify “where to glow” bow over for 30 seconds, then leisurely stand up. Where your cheeks are rinse out is where you are intended to blush. Apply your blush there and it will be physically rosy every time. Cheek color should be used to develop your skin and not to change it. Use carefully for daytime, then add more or a deeper shade for a more vivid nighttime effect. For special occasions, apply a lightly frosted powder over your cheekbones for a devious but alluring glow. Make sure to blend your blush into your foundation well or it will lean to look unnatural and add the façade of 5 years to your looks.

The Right Mascara For You

Ever planned to buy your own mascara? I believe that this make-up item is a must have for every girl because it helps emphasize the true beauty of the eyes. However, just like other make-up item it is imperative to choose the one that suits you. Actually, there are several types of mascara to choose from. If you want a mascara that lasts for a long time, you can opt for a cake mascara. This type is actually being used by models. Also, there is what we call the waterproof mascara. This one is suitable for people who cry a lot or wet their faces a lot because it does not smudge easily (that’s why it’s called waterproof, duh!). There’s also the regular mascara which easily smudges off and the mascara that has little fibers to make your eyelashes look thicker. There are other types aside from these, the only solution is to choose the one that suits you best.

Lip Color for Your Skin

One of the quickest and easiest ways to transform your look is with the use of a lipstick. You do not need to partner it with your nail polish or wardrobe but you might want to consider the clothes that you are wearing. It helps. It is important to take note that your lip color should compliment the rest of your make-up and most especially your skin tone.
People who have an olive complexion should opt to use lipsticks with warm undertone to make their skin look brighter. These colors could be light brown, raisin brown and brown reds. However, people with fair skin color should opt for warm peach or pink undertones and people with pale complexion could use just almost any shade and use dramatic shades. Moreover, dark complexioned people look best with lipsticks that are deep red with dark blue or purple undertones or lipsticks that are deep brown with purple, wine or blue undertones.
