Beauty tips for mature women:

1. Heavy powder is your enemy. It gets caught in fine lines and can magnify them, making you look older. Be conservative. If you need to apply a small amount of powder, use a large powder brush to dust the face lightly. If you want to look youthful and dewy, don't wear it at all. 2. Use a light textured, luminous liquid foundation or add a luminizer to your existing base for a natural glow. If your skin is clear, use a tinted moisturizer in place of foundation. Also the concealer you choose should be very light in texture and at least one shade lighter than your skin. Stick concealers are too heavy and will settle in fine lines

3. Add liquid bronzer to your foundation to achieve a healthy glow.

4. Don't use heavy pigmented lipsticks. They get caught in the fine lines of your mouth and can age you. Lightly pigmented lip glosses will give you a light, youthful appearance.

5. As you begin to mature, use less makeup. Neutral and earthy colors will make you look fresher.

6. Apply mascara to the top lashes only. This will make your eyes look very alive and youthful. Apply more to the outside corners to give you a lift. Adding mascara to your bottom lashes will age you.

7. Don't use a lot of blush. It can make you look dated and older. The idea is to look like you're blushing, so keep it light. Use cream blushers for a smooth natural look. Try peach, coral and bronze tones.

8. Keep your eyebrows arched. A nice brow can give you the appearance of a face lift. Use a "brush on brow" rather than an eye brow pencil. It will look softer and natural.

9. Add a slightly lighter concealer under your eyes, after foundation. Place it on the inside and outside corners of your eyes. This will make your eyes look alive and rested. Blend well.
