Skin Care Tips

Items for your handbag:

Tissues are very handy and wet tissues are ideal during summer.

A powder compact, with compressed powder, is a must. It comes with its own applicator and is most useful to touch up and refresh your face. First dab your face with tissue and then touch up with powder.

Carry lipstick or lip gloss to touch up your lips after lunch. If your lipstick has spread, wipe off with tissue. First apply powder on the lips and then apply lipstick again.

Remember to take your comb and brush, as well as a small mirror.

The older woman actually has a better idea of the colors that suit her and has probably developed good taste. Make-up certainly helps to add a dimension to the face and personality. It can also be used to cover up flaws and blemishes.

The effort should not be towards achieving a younger look, but rather one that suits your age and helps to project grace and elegance. Subtle make-up is what you should try for.

The biggest mistake women make is choosing a foundation that’s too light. This gives an unnatural, ashen look. Here are a couple of tips to practice when buying foundation.

1. Test foundation on the inside of the forearm-skin tone is closest to neck colour there, because it’s protected from UV damage. Makeup should blend with the skin colour of the neck, not the face.
2. If any doubt then buy one shade lighter than your facial skin tone.
3. Don’t make up your mind instantly. It takes about a minute for colour to dry and interact with the chemicals in your skin. The red pigments develop first so it will appear the pinkest at the beginning.
4. Then go to the nearest source of natural light. (Even the most flattering uplit cosmetics hall tends to have colour-distorting fluorescent lighting.) If you have chosen the right colour, it will disappear into the skin.
