Home | News & Society | Weddings EYES - The browns and neutral colours which looked great in the past may now be making you tired. If this is so I suggest trying some of the beautiful purples, plums and lilacs that are around. Not only do these enhance any eye colour but the incredible formulations will not make your eyes look tired or sore. If this is abit too bold try charcoal or navy instead. Shimmers or Mattes ? Don't think that if you are over a certain get older that you can't wear shimmery shadows it really depends on the condition of your eyes. If the skin is very creapy then shimmery shadows can highlight this, so on this area stick with a more matte shadow. But you could still use a shimmer one just below the arch to the brow and it would look wonderful. Too much matte shadow can make the eyes look dull/drab. Mattes and Shimmers are being mixed to create depth and light to the eye area making them truly stand out. Also opt for a black or blue/black mascara rather than brown no matter what your hair colour. Do not forget the importance of your brows. As with hair, brows too can lose their colour. Brows really should be softly defined. CHEEKS -When choosing a blush, here too I recommend staying away from ones which are too browny or taupey they tend to make the face appear to lack coloureally pale pastel shades as they can look chalky. Instead try warm apricots, peach or rosy hues. These really flatter the face. There is also a wide variety of textures to choose from, creams if you a dewy look, cream to powder if you want a more satiny look. Both these textures give a more youthful look. LIPS - As we age it is a sad fact that our lips do get thinner and fine lines develop. Luckily help is at hand. To prevent lip colour from feathering and keep it on longer try a lip base. These go on bare lips before lip colour and they really work. To get the look of fuller lips without the surgery brush a light reflective concealer around the outside of lips and blend into the lips now line lips with a lip coloured ( nude) lip pencil just slightly outside your own lip line. You should always use a nude lip pencil no matter what your chosen lip colour is , that way as the colour fades (and even the long lasting ones eventually do) you won't be left with that ugly clowns mouth. When choosing a colour here too avoid any drab colours, also if your lip colour is too matte it can look hard / ageing. Go for satiny, creamy, moisturising textures and if you've used a lip base even try some of the fabulous new glosses (they're not as sticky as they used to be).
