Youth is a shortcoming that quickly passes(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe). However, men will easily agree with this statement, but not women. When it comes to appearance, many ladies would prefer to slow down the passage of time, or even stop it altogether. They are not at all happy with their fading youth, and the media actively promote youth as a woman’s main advantage. Therefore, closer to forty, women feel the need to look younger than their real age: some decide to have plastic surgery, others urgently sign up for a gym, and others start wearing youth clothes. Some ladies are very successful in getting into the flow, while the attempts of others look funny or even absurd. It is not easy for a woman to accept maturity as a given, but it is necessary. Otherwise, depression, psychosis, and the development of complexes are guaranteed. Accept – yes, but not come to terms with it. And no one is calling for this. And if the passage of years cannot be stopped, then each of us can prolong youth or at least “mask” age. You don't have to wear a miniskirt, dye your hair green, or put on bright war paint to achieve this. By the way, makeup after 40 is simply a magic tool in the fight against the external signs of aging. The right and stylish makeup that matches your age will easily help you lose ten years! However, you should pay attention not only to external rejuvenation, but also to proper skin care - you can be beautiful at any age. And if you also learn to avoid the most common mistakes, you will see for yourself that age is no obstacle to beauty. Here are some of the most common mistakes that women make in their desire to look younger.

Improperly selected cream

Moisturizing cosmetic product is included ina mandatory skin care program. Mature skin cells need hydration and nutrition. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from experts: experienced consultants at a cosmetics store will help you choose the right product. The cream does not necessarily have to be the most expensive, but you should not skimp on it either. By the way, many cosmetic companies produce “age-related” lines of hygienic cosmetics (day and night cream, eye cream, makeup remover milk, facial toner, etc.). Choose a series of products that are suitable not only for your skin type, but also correspond to the “chronology” of your life. And do not deceive yourself: if you are already over forty, you should not use creams for young skin, but you also need to take into account the difference between mature and aging skin. Try, experiment until you find a product that suits you and make sure to observe expiration dates.

Errors in the care of the lips

Lips require special attention and gentle care.Otherwise, cracks appear on them in the cold, or herpes spots appear, and the mouth itself is surrounded by a network of small wrinkles. If wrinkles around the lips are your problem, then a lip liner will only emphasize this flaw: it draws attention to the lips. This is especially noticeable with dark lipstick tones. A liner chosen not to match the tone, but much darker than the lipstick is considered a lack of taste. Since the skin of the lips loses its elasticity over time, the lipstick is quickly absorbed or spreads over the lips, protruding beyond their contour. And lipstick that has flowed into the wrinkles around the mouth looks completely sloppy. Therefore, you need to either restore makeup every hour or half an hour, or remove its remains with a napkin. The solution to this problem is to use lipstick in warm shades.

Excessive makeup

Too "intense" makeup after 35 years - sheof the most common mistakes women make. If an excessive love for decorative cosmetics is still forgivable for an eighteen-year-old girl, then ladies of Balzac's age clearly do not need tons of makeup on their faces. If we talk about the canons of makeup, then it is customary to highlight a specific detail of the face. If you can boast of expressiveness of your eyes - emphasize them, if you have beautiful lips - highlight them with a natural tone of lipstick. Do not try to emphasize all the features at the same time, otherwise you will look more like a nesting doll. Beautiful makeup is the one that highlights the advantages and makes the disadvantages invisible. Another extreme is too bright makeup. When the skin begins to lose elasticity, wrinkles appear and the contour of the face blurs, bright and rich colors not only will not mask age-related "errors", but will also draw attention to them. A thick layer of foundation will also emphasize and "show" even the smallest wrinkles around the mouth and eyes.

Make-up in retro style

Makeup after forty should be different from thatwhich you used twenty years ago. Over the years, both the skin type and its structure change. Small wrinkles and age spots may appear, and your complexion may change. Therefore, it would be a good idea to listen to the advice of professionals, rather than just follow your preferences. What was good for you at twenty years old will most likely look funny now. Do not forget that it is not only the condition of the skin that changes. Lips “dry out”, eyelids and eyebrows “droop”, cheeks “float”, eye color fades, and the nose, surprisingly, also changes slightly. In a word, with age, facial features change imperceptibly for you, so makeup after 40 should be different than in youth. And you should not forget about fashion trends in the field of makeup. Old-fashioned makeup will also emphasize your outdatedness and your age. You do not continue to wear the same clothes that you wore twenty years ago, do you? It would never even occur to you! And the face? How is it worse than your figure? So why should the face look old-fashioned?

The correct make up

Makeup after 30 years should be done with cautionnot only on fashion, but also on your age. More precisely, not on age, but on how it has changed your face. The main goal of such makeup is to hide age-related changes and emphasize the obvious advantages of appearance. And if the thirty-year mark is not yet a reason for panic, then closer to forty years you should pay closer attention to your appearance. So, the rules of makeup after 40.

The tone of the face Now you want to give upimage dark-skinned and give preference to a tonal cream of light shades. If you use a dark basic tone for makeup, then it will show even the smallest wrinkles in which the pigment particles of the tone settle. A light tone will not only make the face more "fresh", but also visually reduce the depth of wrinkles around the eyes. Apply tonal cream should be a thin layer, carefully shading on the face and on the border of the transition to the neck.

Powder For the effect of velvet skin you needuse a loose powder that perfectly matches with the cream and smooths the unevenness of the skin. Naturally, the tone of the powder must necessarily match the tone of the cream or be slightly lighter. Plentifully powder the entire face and remove the excess powder with a broad soft brush or a clean puff. Do not be afraid to powder your face - friable powder does not clog the pores of the skin and wrinkles around the eyes, it becomes an excellent base for lipstick and facilitates the process of lengthening eyelashes with mascara.

Blush To refuse them is not worth it. It is only necessary to change the usual tone. If the young skin is better to shade with rosy blushes, then in our case it is desirable to use the blushes of beige and peach shades.

Lips First, the time has come decisivelygive up bright lipstick. True, bright - does not mean saturated. Without regret, one should part with lipsticks of bright pink and bright red shades, but warm and neutral tones of lipstick may well be saturated. Despite the fact that the contour pencil is no longer in vogue today, you should not abandon it. A soft outline in pencil to tone the lipstick will make the lips younger and prevent the spreading of lipstick. The lipstick should be applied to the lips in two layers, having wetted the first layer with a napkin. And for freshness, you can apply a little gloss on the lipstick.

Shadows Now this is already an integral element of yourmake-up. Without shadows, the eyes will look inexpressive, but the shadows of the shadows are different. Bright colors are good for young girls, you with them will look at least funny, and by and large vulgar. And you need to add elegance and sexuality to your appearance. Therefore - only deep and rich natural shades and pastel shades of eyes: coffee with milk, light brown, pale blue, gray, dark beige. Give preference to dry shadows, which are easily applied and staunchly held.

Eye contouring Make-up artists do not advise women older40 years of bringing the eyes of a thick black line. If you do eyeliner in the lower eyelid. Then it must be thoroughly shaded, and in the upper eyelid, apply a very thin black, or better brown arrow. It is also desirable to give preference to brown mascara for the eyes, and to paint only the upper eyelashes.

Do not forget that makeup before bedtime is necessarymust be removed. Decorative cosmetics and already dries the skin, and if you leave it for the night, then all your tricks with rejuvenation will come to naught - aging will only accelerate.

However, whether to follow all the advice is a choice.is absolutely individual. Perhaps you want to put on makeup exactly this way and not another. And let others shrug their shoulders. The main thing is that you feel confident! First of all, you need to keep your soul young, try to always be in a good mood, and fashionable bangs and leggings are secondary. We recommend reading:
