SH Good Living Supplement
of how you want your treatment to
look that will suit your individual needs.
These treatments are great and very easy
for mature looks, not just youngsters!
Finally… the tools of the trade.
Invest in a great set of brushes, you’ll
notice the difference immediately.
What should I be steering clear of at
the makeup counter? Anything that
says matte or full coverage. Trust your
own judgement and try products on
the back of your hand for an hour or
so before you buy. See how the product
feels, how the air has oxidised the
colour – it’s a good indication of how
the colour will transfer on your face.
Skin tends to become slightly drier the
older we get so go for nourishing, light
reflecting or moisturising products. Avoid
facial powders in any format – these
will be appearing chalky and ageing.
I would also browse all the products
in the store, just because you like one
brand, or have used it for years, it doesn’t
always mean it’s the right one. There
are so many brands on offer which can
be daunting, but ask some advice from
some of the newer, ‘younger’ brands.
All makeup companies will make
something that will be suitable for all
age ranges. Be brave! You really don’t
have to spend a fortune either, high
street brands are amazing these days.
How can I keep my look fresh and on
trend? Don’t be stuck in a rut! There
is such a variety of images, advice,
online tutorials, products, magazines,
advertisements etc. to take inspiration
from and explore trends at any age. Try
one of the many online tutorials on
YouTube and other social media outlets.
Use the consultants on the counters
for advice, book a makeup lesson, book
a shopping lesson, too. Lots of makeup
artists offer a shopping service. They
will meet you for a coffee and take
you through an informed shopping
list – whatever your budget – to work
out a great list of cosmetics that work
for you. You can also pay to have a
lesson with your own makeup bag
contents – take notes, look and learn.
Be open minded and practise new
looks, you’ll soon find out what works
and doesn’t work for you. Have a few key
products that you use all the time instead
of hoarding a makeup bag of products
that haven’t seen the light of day in years.
We all love making the best of
ourselves and keeping
up with the latest trends
including make-up.
Remember knowledge is
power in the vast world
of makeup and skincare!
