We often do not realize as we age gracefully that our makeup needs changes over time.  The sole purpose of makeup is to enhance your beauty.  For those of you who are over 40, it all begins with a good skin care regimen.  By using the following products regularly,

• Skin cleansers
• Rich moisturizers
• Natural exfoliants
• Body scrubs
• Skin Toners

you are making your skin more smoother and more vibrant which will allow you to apply makeup that will make you look even more beautiful.  If you have any questions or concerns about these types of products, please contact me.  I would love to help you navigate through the cosmetic world to find the best products that meets your personal needs.

Here is my tried and true makeup technique for mature beauties.

• Start your makeup design by applying a water-based moisturizing cream over your entire face, lips and neck.
• Use eye cream which is formulated for thinner skin around your eyes.
• Lightly apply a liquid foundation that closely matches your skin tone to your face and neck areas.
• I recommend apply corrector tints at this point before you apply makeup to correct and enhance facial features.
• Apply loose mineral powder that is a shade lighter than your skin tone by pressing and rolling in the powder (do not rub) to help soften your lines.
• Apply soft and matte shades of blush makeup to your cheeks, around your eyes, high around the temples and lightly under the chin (on your neck).
• Use a light, neutral eye shadow to gracefully enhance the upper regions of your eyes.
• With a volumizing mascara, apply two coats to the upper lashes only.
• Use a lip liner pencil that closely matches your lipstick to define your lips to prevent lipstick from bleeding.
• Choose a rich color lipstick that goes with your skin tone to liven up your face without overpowering it.
• Lighten your eyebrow one or two shades lighter with a soft brown, taupe, or gray pencil.

That’s it.  It generally takes about 20 minutes to go through the entire process.  However if you are in a rush, focus on your lips and brow areas.  If you would like to consult with me about your makeup application or help choose the best makeup that matches your skin, I would be more than happy to discuss your needs.  You can contact me anytime.
