Makeup Application Tips and Color Know-how

It's easy to be complacent and continue to use the same makeup, colors and techniques that we've been happy with for many years. But are you disappointed with the result you see in your mirror these days?

As we age our skin changes and loses elasticity and the makeup we've become so adept at using may no longer be giving us the best results! 

I've been looking at how we might improve and update the products we use to look more attractive and youthful! 

Eye makeup for the mature woman

The change in elasticity and texture of the skin post menopause often means that eye makeup for the mature woman, needs to be chosen and applied carefully.

Choosing makeup colors

Forget fashion, it's all about YOU!

Your eyes, skin tone and hair - those are the features you're looking to flatter when you're choosing the best makeup colors to reflect and enhance your personal beauty. 

Warm or Cool skin?

If you don't know your Color Family just identify whether you have a Warm or Cool skin.

It makes it so much easier to choose the right makeup and hair color shades.

Warm skin tone

If you have a yellow undertone to your skin then you have a WARM skin tone.

The undertone is the layer under your skin which influences the overall look of your natural coloring and it always stays the same.

This is entirely different to the color of your skin! 

Cool skin tone

If you have a blue/cool undertone to your skin then you have a COOL skin tone.

Strangely enough, a blue undertone shows as a pink toned complexion!

The undertone is the layer under your skin which influences the overall look of your natural coloring and it always stays the same.

Choosing Cool makeup

If you have a cool or blue undertone to your skin you should choose Cool makeup shades to flatter your natural coloring.

This is how nature designed us to look our most attractive.

Choosing Warm makeup

If you have a yellow or WARM undertone to your skin you should choose Warm makeup shades to flatter your natural coloring.

This is how nature designed us to look our most attractive.
