Beauty is about looking and feeling great. That means beauty depends in part on taking care of the body: drinking lots of water, eating healthy foods, using sunscreen, and getting plenty of exercise.
Good beauty routines begin with good skincare. Pamper the skin, and experiment with rich, hydrating moisturizers.
Under-eye darkness often deepens with age. Use a rich under-eye cream overnight and a lighter cream for day to hydrate and smooth the area. Use a pink or peach-toned corrector followed by a yellow-toned concealer and foundation. Lighten the upper lid with a light eye shadow.
Using moisturizers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Tinted balms and moisture-rich foundations help soften lines and wrinkles and don’t settle into them Match the foundation exactly to the skin tone.
Skin loses elasticity over time. Using a cream with retinoids that stimulates collagen production helps to give skin a firmer look.
Yellow-toned foundation or tinted moisturizer will tone down ruddy skin and rosacea. Bronzer helps counteract redness as well. Strong facial scrubs often aggravate ruddiness. Rosacea can be treated topically; ask your doctor.
Brown spots can be removed with laser resurfacing performed by a dermatologist or covered with the lightest pink or peach corrector and yellow-toned foundation that is set with powder.
Color will make you look pretty and fresher. Experiment.
Eye contour gives droopy eyelids a lift — the contour shadow needs to look blended and natural. Sometimes adding a gel bronzer gives a nice boost (aka a fake tan) for a healthy look.
Smooth skin is prettier than too-tight skin.
Eyeliner is great for bringing the eyes out and making them look awake.
Crepey eyes: Make sure you moisturize at night, and stick to formulas that are not too dry.
