Beauty isn’t defined by age. Beauty is confidence. It’s all about enhancing your best features and how you look in the moment. Here are some tips on how to look and feel great at any age.
20s
This is the time to start taking care of your skin with a multi-step but simple skincare routine. Use a cleanser and hydrating moisturizer both day and night. Your skin will glow and you’ll help prevent wrinkles.
This is the time to experiment with unexpected shades for shadow, liner, and lips.
30s
Multi-tasking products are a lifesaver. Use products like tinted moisturizer or CC Cream that offer multi-benefits and are quick and easy to apply.
You can still go bold and bright but focus on one feature – lips or eyes.
40s
If you haven’t yet, amp up your skincare routine with a great oil or serum, under-eye cream, and an illuminating balm. Layer them all for glowing skin.
Use concealer and foundation daily. Concealer will brighten any under-eye darkness, leaving you looking well-rested. Foundation will even-out skin for the most naturally flawless complexion.
50s and 60s
Your 50s is when everything starts to fade: your hair color, your skin tone, your eyebrows, etc. This is the time to really perfect your makeup routine.
Properly shape and define brows with a shadow that is the same tone as your hair color. It’ll help lift and define your eyes, making you look fresh and well-rested.
Add blush. Pinch your cheeks and use a blush in a similar shade for the most flattering flush. It warms up your entire complexion. Smile, and apply the product to the apples of the cheeks and up toward the hairline, then down to soften the edges.
70s and up
Especially if you have let your hair go gray, color is your best friend. Go with a brighter lip color, a stronger blush, and always define your eyes with liner and mascara.
