Fresh: Daily Beauty Guide

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.

Makeup And Cosmetics Tips For Mature Skin

How to Conceal Wrinkles … … Less is more!

Never has that been so true when it comes to makeup and our faces as we age.

Here’s some tips on the right and the wrong ways to apply foundation and powders:

  • Go light on the use of foundation. Most women use too much foundation in the attempt to cover up wrinkles and fine lines. This actually has the opposite effect of highlighting imperfections instead of covering them up.
  • Use a tinted moisterizer instead and only on the parts of your face that you feel need it. Go a shade or two darker as well no matter how light your skin. Darker shades can also help to hide those wrinkles as lighter shades have the tendency to make them stand out.
  • Powder Power: When you were younger, you probably had the problem of too much oil on your skin and thus used powder all over your face. Stop this habit Now! Powder absorbs moisture and oil as it is intended to do. Mature skin lacks moisture and doesn’t need it. Use it only on either your nose or chin areas. Professional makeup artists NEVER use powder on women over 50. Powder has the nasty habit of sitting on top of wrinkles and makes them stand out.
