Makeovers for Women Over Forty

How About a Makeover!

Philippa Lane
There comes a season for many women at about the age of forty, when upon glancing in the mirror, they observe the aging process has veritably kicked in. When did those fine lines around the lips and the little sagging under the eyes appear? They were never noticed before. Can a makeover help us look any younger?

The 10 most common concerns for forty plus women are:

Hair

Skin

Fashion

Vitality and health

Make-up

Posture

Relationships

Face and neck

Dressing appropriately for your age

Style and clothing

If you are over forty, I will give you some makeover suggestions that might address some of the concerns that you may have. These suggestions might help you and how you look.

Prayer

First and foremost, I believe that prayer and the belief in Jesus Christ can keep your skin look young. I really do believe this. If you have peace on the inside, it will show on your face.

Skin

Take care of your skin. It is good to have a steady skin care routine that is simple and that you can do everyday.
A good cleanser, exfoliator, toner, and moisturizer are a must. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, it is important to cleanse, exfoliate, and apply a good toner to help your skin keep its glow!

Nutrition

Plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains with lean protein eaten on a daily basis will also help your skin look its best. Remember to drink a lot of water.

Make-up

Foundation that can give you maximum coverage and is matched to your skin tone to smooth out the complexion is good to apply to the face. Mascara makes your eyelashes stand out and eyeliner brings out the shape of your eyes. Eye shadow helps draw attention to our eyes. Lip liner helps define the lips and keeps your lipstick from running off your lips. Lips are defined and finished with lipstick. Blush will add a glow to your cheeks.

Hair

Hair style changes can be one of the steps in making a real difference when it comes to makeovers. By the time women have reached their forties they have adopted a hairstyle and length that they are used to wearing. One of the fastest ways to look younger is to cut long hair into a long layered, medium, or short style. This lifts, regenerates the face and makes the neck appear longer. Sometimes, your hair style can make your body appear much slimmer. A new hair style, along with coloring your hair with a shade that compliments your natural coloring, you are on your way to looking younger.

Fashion

Stay away from clothes that make you look like a "fuddy duddy."
Gathered yokes, pleated skirts, cardigans, high closed blouses, gathered skirts, hand knits, elastic waists, lace-up shoes, shape less clothes, cameos, pearl buttons, and wide vamps.
There are many styles that are out on the market which you may find flatter you and make you look much younger. You can find many styles in some fashion magazines. Pick a style that is right for you.

If you follow these suggestions you will have a beautiful "over forty" makeover!
