Makeup Tips for an Overdue Makeup check up
Makeup tips for an overdue makeup check up, thought it might be
hard? It isn't as not as hard as one may think. No one wants to
look older than they really are, so when you get to certain
ages, be it late 20's, late 30's, late 40's or older, it's time
to do a makeup check up.You may not realize that your style of
makeup is too young for you or too old depending on how you've
been doing it. You may be over doing or under doing your makeup.
As our face changes what we once did at one age can be the worst
thing to do now. As with skin care there is a need to change
your look to keep looking as beautiful as always but start
working on those little issues that are coming up. No need to
name them, we all know what they are.
We all can remember in our teens and twenties choosing makeup on
a whim or enjoying bold, shiny eye shadows, (bright blue
anyone?) Heavy or mismatched foundation, not blending it in at
the chin or too thick concealer, giving you the opposite raccoon
look. How about that obvious blush in neon pink? Be it on
someone's else face or even your own, who else can remember
their mother licking both her thumbs wetting down you cheeks
trying to help make your blush less obvious? Remember how in the
earlier years of drugstore brands of blush even that couldn't
work, you needed to use major makeup remover?
Try changing from a cream or gel blush. It is better for your
face as you get older, as dry blush doesn't blend well as your
skin loses the ability to hold on to moisture,as little lines
start to appear around the eyes. Don't forget those nasty smile
lines. Keep the blush on your cheek bones to highlight them if
they are one of your best features. Powdered blush tends to cake
on skin that is too dry. How about those overly greasy or super
glossy lipsticks, or a Kaleidoscopic array of eye shadows, often
mismatched colors as forgetting certain shades of purple AND
lime green do not go together at the same time! We all can get
confused on what really looks good on us, in most cases pastels
draw attention to and refresh your eyes, brights make the eyes
look vibrant and muted tones softly add color or shape to the
eye while dark colors add dramatic impact. Start experimenting
at home with what you have. Do a checkup on the way you're doing
your eye liners, heavy doe eyed look doesn't look good on any
age! Heavy outlined eyes just makes look older, great for
teenagers to try out but not someone who is trying to make a
impression on a new boss. Its high time you really should
consider making adjustments to one's routine. Even more examples
of what not to do- The a retro Marilyn Monroe look with the
liquid-lined bedroom eyes, and pouty red lips, only she could
really pull that look off. The Crayola Crayon-colored
eyeshadows. Spikey mascara that been in countless fashion
magazines and billboards with what looks like only 5 or 6
lashes. Over the years mascaras have changed from jumping out at
you, fake lashes extremes to a more natural look, black-browns,
even navy looks good if not overdone. There are some glitter
mascaras that aren't as wild as you might think too so don't
forget to at least look at them for night time use.
It's time to think about changing to a classic, well blended
look where no one aspect of your makeup can be more important
than the other. As you create you new look, start thinking of
more natural shades of neutral colors just making sure that they
work with your skin tone. Try wearing only two coats of mascara
not three or more. If blonde try brown or brownish-black As your
hair color darkens, either by age or stopping coloring it, try
changing your mascara color to bring out the natural beauty of
your eyes. Not everyone should be wearing black mascara.
There will always be a time and place for all types of free-self
expression but one should only leave the house looking as if one
is on the way to a halloween party unless there is a halloween
party! As much as you might not like it, overdone makeup or even
the smoky-eye look if not done correctly, just makes you look
opposite of the what you are going for.
When we all a certain age regardless of how many years add up,
its time to discover a style that makes you feel beautiful,
finding colors that enhances your appearance not take away from
it. If you haven't started yet, look up beauty tips or make ups
online or go to your local book store to see whats out there.
Even fashion magazines of late are going towards a less is
better.
Start practicing blending techniques that makes your eyes look
natural not piled or painted on. Praticing to create one's own
style and stop being a slave to whatever the latest look and
think before pairing of colors. Even a teenager can have a basic
but undone look that enhances not take away from their natural
beauty. Check out what you have brought over the year and work
on designing your own style, one you can call your own, need
help try your girl friends, who better than to tell you what
looks good? We all need to stop being a slave to today's "in"
look start showing off the real beauty that may of been hiding
behind layers of the so called 'fashionable look'. Starting with
soft neutral colors, blending them, creating a signature look
thats easy to put on in the morning for work, add glitter or
more color to for nighttime fun. Then start throwing out all
those colors that makes most teenagers daughters laugh at even
the thought you might still be thinking of wearing it! Start
today and tomorrow at work just smile and agree when asked "Have
you lost weight?" You may never know even just a change in your
makeup may change you into a whole new person.
