Oil based foundations, moisturizing powders and creamy blushers can make skin look dewier and give your complexion extra moisture. To find makeup formulated for mature skin, look for the words hydrating, dewy, or revitalizing on the product’s label.

For women under 50, it’s suggested that using a mineral oil based makeup works best. For women 50 and older a creamy foundation is recommended. Remember though, that being in good shape, also keeps your skin in good shape. When working out and sweating a lot helps your skin by cleansing from the inside out. If you are a 65 year old women and play a sport several times a week, you would be able to use the same foundation that a woman in her thirties uses. So as not to bring attention to to those fine lines, don’t use oil free foundations, powdered blushers, and oil blotting powders.

Simply by adding a little color to your cheeks and lips can give a sallow complexion a little lift. So if you’re wearing little or no makeup, you may want to reconsider. Whether or not your skin is sun damaged, mature skin can have a yellow appearance. By wearing a brighter makeup, mature skin will have a more youthful appearance.

The key to brightening up your face without creating an unnatural or overly made up look is to select foundation, powder and blusher for your individual skin tone and go for subtlety. For example, mature skin is flattered by muted shades of eye shadow (a green shadow with a touch of brown, rather than a bright green) and cream based lipstick in clear, strong colors like pink and coral. But avoid matte (non-shiny) lipsticks, which can make your skin look dry, and frosted eye shadows, which can give your eyes a crepe-like look.

Cosmetic surgery can take years off your appearance, boosting your self confidence in the bargain. But a more youthful face can’t make you happier, save a relationship or change your life. So before you even schedule an appointment with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, examine your reasons for wanting the surgery and make sure your expectations are realistic. After all, you’re talking about a serious-and expensive-medical procedure.

It’s important to know everything that is available to you and your options with surgical and non-surgical procedures. What these procedures can or cannot accomplish. If you opt for facial peels, collagen injections and dermabrasion, they will eliminate wrinkles, but won’t tighten sagging or loose skin like a face or eye lift would. Regardless of what cosmetic surgery you chose, they all come with risks. You must discuss all concerns with your surgeon or dermatologist at your consultation.
