Makeup Tips for Maturing Beauties
What i did at 20 does not apply to what i do in my 40's and beyond.
For one my skin is no longer that of a 20 year old and neither is my body for that fact. Thank God! Because one thing i know for sure is what i did at 20 was what i needed to know who i am in my 40's.
That said i am a maturing beauty and i am loving it because there is a sense of freedom that I didn't have in my 20's or 30's that i have now that no one can change my mind about.
That said i am no longer as stubborn either. So that means i am maturing right?. With this knowledge it also helps me to adjust to the truth about being a matured beauty.
Along with this mentality i realized that a lot of other things need to be adjusted in my life. That looking my best also needs to be handled from the point of maturity as well.
Lord knows that the only thing that stays constant is change.
For women that includes their makeup.
Advice
Let up on the concealer. Go light with the makeup. Don't overdo the color. Concentrate on focusing color on one area. Ditch the black hair color, the black brows and the black eye liner. Black has it's advantages but too much black has it's drawbacks and makes skin imperfections more prominent especially on mature beauties.
Hair
Hair color i discovered is a big one. If your hair is growing gray, or not you need to do something that will enhance your face and your coloring. So here are some suggestions.
- lighten it
- let it go gray
- cut
- wig it
- weave it
Eyebrows
Eyebrows frame the face . They should be used to show off any woman's face. When using a pencil use short strokes to add the color, then blend into hair, Don't draw them on in one heavy line.

Cheeks
Having color on your cheeks enhances a woman's features. The hollows need to be addressed.
