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.

You may want to re-think the “no makeup” thing. Just by adding a touch of color to your lips or cheeks you can give a sallow complexion a little pick me up. With or without sun damage, mature skin can appear yellow. To give mature skin a more youthful look, wear brighter makeup.

The one thing to achieve a more natural, not overly made up look, at the same time brighten up your skin, is to select a foundation, blusher and powder for your particular skin tone and go for subtlety. Using muted shades of eye shadow such as a green shadow with a touch of brown, rather a bright green is more flattering to mature skin. For lipstick, try a cream based in clear, strong colors like pink and coral. What you want to avoid is matte lipsticks, ones that are non-shiny, as these can make your skin appear dry. In order to avoid a crepe like look to your eyes, avoid frosted eye shadows.

Opting for cosmetic surgery can turn back the clock in your appearance, and at the same time build self confidence. But opting for this surgery won’t make you happy. Instead save a relationship or change your life. Before going ahead with any procedure, or contacting a plastic surgeon or dermatologist, carefully consider why your doing it. Make sure you have realistic expectations. This is a serious and costly medical procedure, after all.

You should also make sure you know about all the available options-surgical and non-surgical-and what they can or cannot do. Collagen injections, facial peels and dermabrasion eliminate wrinkles but won’t tighten loose, sagging skin like an eye lift or face lift will. All cosmetic surgery carries risks, which you should discuss with your dermatologist or surgeon at your consultation.
