Take the experts advice! Here's what they have to say regarding hair and makeup in your sixties:
NO To Too Much Concealer
Concealer is a makeup staple for every woman. In fact, it's great for creating a flawless finish, hiding unsightly blemishes, and pesky undereye circles. As women age however, thick creams tend to give us a masked look. When applied on the sensitive eye area, a concealer's consistency would somehow make wrinkles more prominent.
At this time, it's good to be choosy with your cosmetics. Opt for dual-purpose products that don't just hide – but also nourish. Lots of products nowadays contain anti-aging properties. Hydrate your skin not just with good quality skin serum, but by drinking lots of water. Don't forget the sunscreen! Just because you're a little older doesn't mean your skin shouldn't be protected anymore.
Stock Up on Pinks, Peaches, and Rose Hues
To help avoid the 'washed-out' look, remember to carry these colors in your makeup bag. Blushes in rose shades for example, can give your face an instant lift when applied high on the apples of your cheeks. Peach lipsticks on the other hand, are great for an unexpected pop of color when you're feeling gray. Plus, these colors are flattering no matter what your age! They're ultra feminine, and are guaranteed to complement any look.
Bronzer Is Your Bestfriend
Believe it or not, this versatile product isn't just for younger girls. Bronzers can give you a touch of warmth – especially in cold, gray weather – without going overboard. You can wear this in the morning or at night. Brush a bit on your cheeks, forehead, and chin for a youthful glow. It will catch light and instantly brighten your face. Talk about an effortless way to be glamorous!
Frame Your Face
Hair can be tricky as women grow older. For golden girls, opt for 'shine and sway'. Amp your 'do with a modern hairstyle that will frame your face in lovely curls or layers. This can be achieved by re-creating the traditional bob. Also, avoid super blonde colors that can age your face. It's good to maintain your natural hair color (whether you're a brunette or a blonde) then just add tones for depth. Ask your stylist for his or her recommendation.
Any woman can age gracefully as long as they use today's beauty techniques wisely. Be fabulous at sixty with naturally great hair and makeup! No need to hide your years – for with age comes wisdom. Just because you have daughters and grandkids doesn't mean you should look the part. Continue taking care of yourself so you can also beautify the lives of others.
