| Make-up Tricks for Elder Women | As women enter their mid-life years, the application and make-up tricks for women 40 years plus become more necessary. They want to take years off their age as well as ensuring that their appearance depicts the smart, confident, savvy woman that women are.
- Make sure your face is ready with the help of such procedures as cleansing and moisturizing.
- You can get rid of the dark circles under eyes; simply mix concealer with your light foundation and gently pat then spread over the darker areas.
- You can hide the dark shadows on the inside of the nose bone; simply dot then smooth concealer there will take 5 years off your age.
- Eye bags can be hidden with the following actions – dot concealer and smooth underneath the bags to disguise the shadow. You should use a lighter foundation over the puffy bags themselves.
- Dust bronzing powder under the chin with a large soft brush to hide the double chin. This works wonders in concealing double chins and jowls that occur as we age.
- Lack of eyebrows can be compensate with the help of a matte finish, waterproof brow or eye pencil that matches your hair color to draw on the sparse portion of your natural brow. Never use black eyebrow pencil.
- If you have dull eyes you should get out a bottle of Visine before applying cosmetics. Just a few drops will restore the whites of your eyes that often lose their brilliance as we age. By removing redness from your eyes you immediately freshen up the whole face. You can also use a glossy acrylic-based mascara to add some shine.
- There is also a solution for tired eyes – use softer shades of eye shadow in peach tones (not pink) and add blusher to move the focus away. Gently shade the area just above the arch of your brow with a nude liner and blend, to subtly light up your face and create the illusion of higher brows and lids.
- If you have puffy eyes you should place cold compress on them for a few minutes before applying make-up. Try to use softer shades on eyelids with a little darker tone in the bend of the eyelid.
- If you have small eyes use a lash curler after applying mascara to give the appearance of bigger eyes.
- For thin lips you should use a lip plumping primer before applying lipstick in order to add volume. Do not use a pencil outside the natural line of your lips as close-up it shows and is not attractive. Such soft matte lip colors as in pink, berry, coral or peach shades will essentially make your lips fuller. You also can dab the middle of your lower lip with a bit of silver or gold lip gloss for creating the illusion of fullness.
The above make up tricks for women 40 years plus will help hide their age efficiently and look young forever. Don’t forget to choose colors wisely, apply confidently and discreetly and you will be beautiful.
