As neither my husband nor I like a heavy foundation, I dilute several pops w/lotion & then spread it on my face; I may not cover everything but it does look somewhat natural.

I'm not going to lie, I have your blog saved on my favorite sites page on the mac and all I had to see what your bangs and think oh my gondseos .my mom used to do my hair like that. The 80s get such a bad rap but honestly, there is no better workout music than 80 s rock. A decade full of life .just like the hair of the time appeared to be. Yikes! I shamelessly show off my 80s/90s pics just because they always get a good laugh and nobody NOBODY born at anytime during that decade skated through life without having hair like that at some point. I used to be obsessed with puff paint! I puff painted rocks, I puff painted jeans, I even had a puff paint Barbie with a pink denim jacket that I puff painted and sequined. This totally made my day!!! :) You were a precious kid!

Whiter teeth

Blue lipgloss makes teeth look whiter.the menthol ones also make breath fresher and slightly plump the lips.

The Eyes Have It!

Since most of us over 50 wear glasses, you need to play up your eyes without being too heavy handed. Frosted or sparkle eye shadows are for kids - a neutral matte color looks more natural on older women. Only use mascara on the top lashes, preceded by a thin stroke of eyeliner at the base of the lashes. StudioMakeup has a liquid line transformer that will make eyeliner out of any eyeshadow, if you want a "pop" of color without shadowing your entire eyelid. Since Prescriptives went out of business, I am still looking for a mascara similar to their "False Eyelashes" line -- any suggestions?

Lip liner

Dont use lip liner! It makes your lips look like they have a border which is not attractive at all and if you mess up it looks funny

2 Beauty Tips for Women

1: How to get pearly white teeth: White teeth are one of the most important features of your face that’s why you must take care of your teeth. Yellowness of teeth decreases your personality in front of others. Smiling and charming face looks beautiful when teeth are properly cared and contain pearly white glowing effect. If you want to get pearly white teeth, you should avoid taking tobacco, coffee and tea. If you are habitual of taking such substances then you should also make your habit to care your teeth and make them pearly. 2: Long luscious eye lashes: Big eyes with a beautiful dramatic look always should have long, thick and luscious lashes. It enhances and beautifies your eyes. You don’t need to spend most of your time in cosmetic shops in search of buying expensive products. Here is a natural tip for growing lashes. Apply castor oil in a little amount on your lashes before sleep at every night and wash it off in morning. This is a beautiful and simple tip. Resource: http://

hair length on women of age

i was walking in wtc area of ny yesterday and saw two women from behind. each had short necks and were wearing their hair straight across where their neck and shoulders meet. not an attractive look. either shorter hair or longer hair would have eliminated the no-neck look. check yourself out with a hand held mirror. we are in 3-d you know!

lipstick for older women

altho the advice is for lighter lipcolors on older women with thinning lips, i wear a dark burgundy and receive compliments galore especially from the young girls working at sephora. rules are to break. but you must judge for yourself. i am a bit of a trendsetter and not shy to try.

My Top 10

1. Matte lipstick and eyeliner looks better on older women, so avoid frosted shades. 2. Revitalash works great. 3. Whiten teeth, but don't go stupid white with them. 4. Don't dress too young or too old - classic white button down shirt, fun belt or shoes (not both), a great fitting pair of jeans. 5. Lunges, squats, anything to lift the rear. 6. Exfoliate, both chemically and manually. 7. Coffeeberry containing skin cream. 8. Keep your nails short, "old lady" nails are a sure sign of being over 50. 9. Become fascinating by continuing to learn and explore, become an "expert" on something that interests you. 10. Give up swearing.

Almond oil

I squeezed the oil out of 6 Vit E capsules into a 200 ml bottle of pure almond oil. I use this as a moisturizer and its wonderful not just to keep skin supple, but on your face to reduce melasma

Great looking skin

Healthy looking skin rules. Rather then using a primer then a foundation I have a little mix trick. For a healthy summer un made up glow I mix a tiny bit of gel bronzer into a dab of primer then smooth over my face. For the office and day time I use a drop or two liquid foundation mixed into my primer then smooth that onto my skin. I will even use a little of all three for a sunkist less translucent look. You will be suprised how long lasting the look and how disquised your inperfections will be.
