BOOST YOUR BEAUTY OVER 50
Hello JS Beauties,
Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my blog! My passion is to help women to celebrate their brilliance at any age however, this blog is for all my fellow 50 and over fabulous beauties. I am often asked for advice from mature women on what makeup they should be wearing and what application would help create a more youthful glow.
Here a some of my beauty tips that have helped me to embrace my age and feel my most beautiful at 54.
- Invest in your skin - If you have not already invested in a good skincare routine I would suggest starting there! You need a healthy canvas to create the best beautiful you!
- Stay away from trendy makeup - Just like clothes, makeup is apparel for your skin so choose age appropriate colors and textures. Stay away from Electric Blue Frost Eyeshadow! You already rocked that in the 80's.
- Know your tone - Educate yourself on what your skins undertone is. Yellow, Pink, Peach, Golden, Olive, Neutral..ask a beauty expert to match you with your perfect color foundation.
- Less is more - Yes..its true! Wearing less makeup as you age will enhance your skin and beauty. Please for the love of makeup stop lining your aging eyes with a black liner! It is only going to draw attention to your wrinkles, its messy looking and will make your eyes look smaller! Instead, choose a soft brown eyeshadow to smoke underneath the eyes. Curl your lashes, double coat with a black mascara and skip the eye liner on top. This look will be much more "pleasing on the eyes."
- Find your formula - Most women over 50 suffer from dry skin. It is best to stay alway from foundations that contain alcohol or other dying agents. Matte foundations would not be a great choice unless you have oily skin. Radiant or natural finishes would be best for dry and mature skin types. I love cream foundations, blushes and eye shadows as they are easy to apply and layer beautifully on the skin.
- Protect your skin - This brings me back to investing in your skin! Wearing sunscreen everyday will help you to slow down the aging process! Don't leave home without it.
- Power your Pout - There is a reason why I created JS Beauty lipgloss..simply applying a lip color can increase your confidence and brighten up your day! With so many formulas and colors, its age friendly and requires no instructions! JUST APPLY & FLY! Similar to foundations, be sure to find the right formula..stay away from matte, long wearing if you have dry aging lips! Take the extra step to line your lips with a universally flattering lip color for a more polished look.
- Embrace your age - Allow yourself to embrace the changes as you create more experiences in your life. Speak kind words to yourself daily, practice gratitude and self-care. Boldly celebrate your beauty everyday! xo Jessica Sue
