Here's a few things that I learned at an event called Ageless Style...Look Great at Any Age!
It is hard for many women to let their inner beauty show if they don't feel confident about their outer beauty. So outer beauty does have value; it is not completely shallow. Giving yourself that feeling of confidence is worth spending the effort & money on your appearance!
Eye Care~
The skin around the eyes has fewer sebaceous glands & less collagen & elastin than skin elsewhere on the face. As we age, the fat pad beneath the dermis diminishes, causing the skin to appear even thinner & the hollowed-out appearance under the eyes. Using a great oil free eye makeup remover is the start, so you are not pulling on your skin or lashes to remover your eye makeup. Then you will want to use a rich eye moisturizer!! I of course recommend the Mary Kay oil free eye makeup remover & MK firming eye cream!!
Eye Color Application~
Your brushes do make a difference. Using the right tools does makes it a lot easier.
Natural hair bristles-to apply dry powder products
Synthetic hair bristles-to apply liquid or creme products
Mary Kay's brush set is only $48 + tax for 5 professional brushes!
When choosing eyeshadow you need to consider two things: The texture & the finish.
Texture-Powder, Creme, Pencil, Liquid
Finish-Matte, Shimmer & Frosted
Choosing the right shade & texture can bring attention to your eyes & wake up your face, making you look younger. If used correctly, it can reshape your lids & make them look their most beautiful!
Eyeliner~
This helps define your eyes. As we age we need to soften with color choices. Some women think they have to stop wearing eyeliner as they age, but that's not true, just soften!
Lashes~
Curl, the fastest face lift!!
Replace your eyelash curler every year & the the rubber pads every 3 months.
or use a heated one.
Mascara~
Get a new tube every 3 months! (MK has a new mascara coming out next month)
Thicker-use horizontal position to apply
Longer-use vertical position to apply
Apply thin coats
Brows~
Tweeze side to side to keep them even
Cold wax or threading (no hot wax)
When adding color either use the same shade or one shade lighter
I hope that you learned something new! Contact me to schedule your appointment to look your best!
