(VIDEO) Biggest Makeup Mistakes Women Over 40 Make

No Comments

After 40, Lipstick and Foundation are your Best Friends – Be Careful not to get into trouble with them though.

HERE ARE THE TWO BIGGEST MISTAKES I see women over 40 make when it comes to Makeup:

The first one is, they wear way too much foundation.  They cover their entire face like frosting on an angel food cake.  This isn’t necessary and it ages you.

Pro Tip:  I recommend a little foundation on a brush, and apply it in the center of your face – that’s where most discoloration is.

The second mistake is that they apply a dark lip color.  As we age our lips shrink and get thinner (Even Mick Jagger will have smaller lips someday!)  Dark colors on your lips will make them look even thinner.

Pro Tip:  I recommend that you use lighter colors on your lips to give the illusion of fuller lips.

How Not To Look Old – The Three-Bling Rule

No Comments

Too many of us make the mistake of piling on every shiny, glitzy, fancy thing we own when we get dressed for evening or a wedding.

It’s easy to overdo it.

Here’s an easy fashion rule to follow:

THE THREE-BLING RULE.

You need to count up your bling, because you are allowed only three bling points.

  • Sparkly dress (2 bling points)
  • bold necklace (1 bling)
  • earrings (1 bling)
  • shimmery metallic sandals (1 bling)
  • cocktail ring (1 bling)
  • shoes or bag (1 bling)
  • jeweled cuff bracelet (1 bling)

Remember that location matters:  You don’t want to use two bling points in close proximity.

Congratulations!  You look gorgeous!

P.S. – We would love to hear from you.  What’s your number one frustration as a woman over 40 right now?  Please COMMENT below.

 

Are you afraid of looking like the OLD LADY wearing all the noisy bangles, necklaces, obnoxious hat, the go-go boots and the glasses handing from a bedazzled chain around her neck?  No fear! 

I want to share with you what one of my coaching clients, Dr. Rosemary, said:

“…It’s been a long time since I cared what I looked like because I felt like I was a lost cause…”

She had the same fears you have, and I was able to help her by teaching her the 16 Pt. Accessory Rule.

I have a great way to help you gauge whether you’re wearing the right amount of accessories every day.

Here’s the thing:  It’s more than just throwing on a necklace.

There is a 16 Pt. Accessory RULE.

I learned about the 16 Pt. Accessory Rule from one of my mentors, Shari Braendel (Fashion Meets Faith), who learned it somewhere along the road of her fashion career.

This is a method where you add (or subtract) points for exactly what you are wearing.  The object is to reach 16 points when you are finished.

Missing Eyebrows: Learn How To Fill in Your Brows Without Looking Crazy (VIDEO)

No Comments

Eyebrows are Important!

They frame our eyes.  Without them we look like Uncle Fester from the Addams Family. Yikes!

As we mature our brows lighten and become sparse.  Light, thin, short brows make us look OLDER and TIRED.  It’s important to color them in.

How to Fill in Your Brows so they look natural and polished.

It’s as Easy as 1, 2, 3

1)Find a powder or gel that is the color of the darkest shade in your hair.  Put the product on an angled brush.

** you can dampen the brush for a darker color **

2) Start in the center of your brow and apply small strokes.

3) Without adding more product; go to the beginning of the brow and fill in and all the way through to the end (again, using small strokes)

Your brow should be aiming for the top part of your ear – where it connects to your head.  Do not curve it down.  You will appear SAD 🙁 and OLDER.  If you curve them up you will appear CRAZY.

PS – See a professional to pluck, wax or thread your brows if they’re out of control.

I’m not a fan of tatooed eyebrows, especially on mature skin – I’m afraid they look unnatural.
