Tips for the Fabulous Forty Plus

I've had the privilege of doing makeup for many beautiful women, all different ages.  I have enjoyed watching the transformations of countless women and have over time learned many tips and tricks that are simple, quick and easy to implement into anyone's daily routine.  

  I have often gotten questions from women who are over forty and are in need of a little boost or change in their everyday regimen. So, here are my top ten favorite tips:

1. Drink lots of water
2. Get plenty of rest (The earlier the better, preferably before midnight--9pm is ideal :)
3. Exercise--You don't have to overexert yourself!  Just a simple half hour walk will help keep your blood circulating which will help the collagen turnover rate of your skin and help give a natural glow.  It is also good for your heart, your muscles, kidney, and etc.
4. Moisturize your skin--This will keep your skin soft and supple.  Water also help internally with the moisturizing of your skin.  Keeping your skin moisturized can help prevent premature lines and wrinkles.
5. Use a non-soap cleanser for your face--Soap can be too harsh and drying.
6. Use nude lip pencils instead of darker lip pencils--This will give you a softer, more youthful look
7. Use a soft brown eyeliner instead of black--Soft brown will give you a softer, more youthful look
8. Use eyeshadow or brow powder instead of pencil to fill in your brows--The eyeshadow or brow powder will give a softer, more natural look
9. Wear sunglasses--This will not only give you an instant glamorous look but it will also help keep you from squinting--which can cause fine lines and wrinkles
10. And my favorite of all:  Gain a little weight!  If your face is a little sunken, pack on about five or ten pounds.  This will help fill your face out.
