When choosing a foundation


color, Maron says you should stick to natural shades that match your current skin tone. “As you age, skin does lose color, so you almost always have to go up a few shades (lighter) from what you wore before,” says Maron. “Trying to add some color back into a pale complexion by applying a darker foundation will only cause your skin to look drab and dull—which is extremely aging.” To get back that rosy glow


of youth, Maron recommends using a cream (not powder) blush in a natural tone of pink, coral, or rose. “Skip bronzers because most have brown undertones that will age you,” says Maron. And while you likely have


heard the old adage that calls for blush on the apples of the cheeks—once you hit 45, ditch this advice! When it comes to blush, start at the top of the cheekbone and, using the center of your eye as a guide point, sweep the blush upward and outward toward your hairline. This old


Hollywood trick, experts say, can take 10 years off your appearance in an instant! Another product to ditch


after 40 is face powder. “No matter how finely milled it is, it’s going to work its way into lines and wrinkles, make skin look dull and dry, and it’s going to age you,” says Marmur.


Timeless, Ageless Beauty “When you hit your 50s, your skin begins to lose definition. Your lips get lighter, your eyebrows are fainter, and your eyes become less defined,” says Brown. The remedy for all three problems: define these areas with color. “If you haven’t been doing


it before now, learn to line your lips and your eyes,” says Brown. Maron says the trick to making lips look fuller and younger is to match your lip liner to your lipstick color. If you’re wearing a clear gloss, match the liner to the color of your lips. “Switching out a dark


lipstick for a pink or peach lip gloss with matching liner is

another way to instantly look 10 years younger,” says Maron. And, he says, never, ever pair a dark lip liner with a light lipstick. To emphasize your eyes,


Maron recommends using a soft color shadow blended well on the lid and then adding a pencil line rather than a hard liquid line to define the look. Mascara will help further define the eyes, especially if lashes have become sparse. Brown says for the softest


brow look, skip traditional brow makeup and instead use a powdered eye shadow to fill in the bare spots. When in doubt, go a few shades lighter than what you think you need. The key to making it


all work, says Maron: “For beauty that is timeless and ageless, think soft focus lens—and that means using softer colors, softer applications, and remembering that less is more.“
