BEAUTY
Myth
I’m over 40—I don’t
need any sparkly
makeup, especially
on my eyes. I hear
it makes you look
more wrinkled.
Myth
I love the look
of bold, red
lipstick, but I
can’t pull it off.
Women over 40 can wear makeup with shimmer—just be sure to choose the right one and
use it wisely. Shimmery or radiant shadows
(not frost or glitter) help bring light around
the eyes and can brighten the eye area. Keep
it on the lid or near the lash line or brow bone
instead of the entire eye.
Every woman can wear a red
lip color. The trick is to find
the right undertone of red
for your coloring. From coral
to tomato red, warm undertones flatter some while deep
cherry and brick flatter others. Think it’s still too much?
Start with a glossy formula
for a sheer wash of red.
