Upper Lip Wrinkles

For a busy woman on the go, it is a challenge to make sure that you completed your daily beauty regiment. How many times have you forgotten to add a moisturizer, style your hair, spray a sweet smelling perfume, etc.? It has happened to all busy women. To help you with your daily beauty, just remember this acronym FRESH (face, rouge, eyes, scent, and hair), so you wouldn’t forget anything.

Face

After you get out of the shower, the first thing you should start beautifying is your face. First, put moisturizer and anti wrinkle cream if needed onto your skin. Wait a few minutes. Then, add your concealer and foundation, so your face looks one color. Remember to pat your foundation and concealer to blend and never rub them in. Otherwise, you defeat the purpose of using foundation and concealer to hide unwanted blemishes, wrinkles, dark circles, age spots, etc. After you are finished, add some powder on top of your fountain and concealer. Remember your face at this point should look like a blank canvas.

With the New Year upon us, I have had many customers email with questions on how to look younger!  So I thought I would write this guide to give you some ideas!  Besides exercise (yes exercise!), there are three Over-40 essentials that will make you look brighter, prettier and fresher in minutes! 

If you need to wake up tired skin, hide wrinkles, and make your whole face look more youthful, then I recommend a Concealer, Hydrating Foundation, and a Rosy Lip Color!  That’s it!!!  I mean by now we’ve learned many things about applying lipstick, eyeliner, and blush.  But as we get older, our makeup must evolve too!  Old favorites may not refresh as they used too—and can even make you look older.

1st Concealer…I love it because it lets you fake a great nights sleep!  As we age, our skin loses elasticity and thins.  This makes you look tired.  Concealer can lighten dark circles, give you a well rested look, and provides an overall glow!  We recommend our Yellow Mineral Corrector, or our No Baggage Concealer Wand.  Both are favorites among our customers at Southern Magnolia Minerals.
