For a busy woman on the go, it is a challenge to make sure that you completed your daily beauty regiment. How many times have you forgotten to add a moisturizer, style your hair, spray a sweet smelling perfume, etc.? It has happened to all busy women. To help you with your daily beauty, just remember this acronym FRESH (face, rouge, eyes, scent, and hair), so you wouldn’t forget anything.

Face

After you get out of the shower, the first thing you should start beautifying is your face. First, put moisturizer and anti wrinkle cream if needed onto your skin. Wait a few minutes. Then, add your concealer and foundation, so your face looks one color. Remember to pat your foundation and concealer to blend and never rub them in. Otherwise, you defeat the purpose of using foundation and concealer to hide unwanted blemishes, wrinkles, dark circles, age spots, etc. After you are finished, add some powder on top of your fountain and concealer. Remember your face at this point should look like a blank canvas.

Rouge

Once your face is one color, now it’s time to add some life. First, add blush or bronzer to parts of your face that the sun will hit such as cheeks, chin, forehead, and nose. Then, add lip gloss or lip stick to enhance your lips. If you plan to add more emphasis to your lips, pick darker colors. However if you want to bring out your eyes, deemphasize your lips by using pale neutral colors.

Eyes

If you wear contact lenses, put them in before you even start applying your makeup. Otherwise if you are teary eyed, you may mess up your makeup. Once you added a base and color, it’s time to make your eyes gorgeous. If you choose to stick with a soft color for your lips, you can add more color, eye liner, and mascara to your eyes. You want to stick with natural colors for eye shadow such as purple, pink, and browns. These colors are great for women who emphasized their lips. However if you have green, blue, or hazel eyes, you can add more trendy colors such as light green, pale blues, or soft yellows. Remember to blend your eye shadow and make sure it looks natural. Afterwards, you can add eye liner, which is perfect for going out at night. For eyeliner, you want natural colors such as black, brown, or violet. Then, put a light coating of black or brown mascara on your eye lashes. Now, you are finished with your makeup.

Scent

The next step is to add a scent such as a fragrance or perfume. When choosing a scent, you want something that is light smelling and compliments the season. Some seasonal scents are apples and pears for the fall, holiday berries and peppermints for the winter, flowers and strawberries for the spring, and ocean and watermelon for the summer. Regardless of what scents you choose, just be careful not to purchase strong scents that make others sneeze because they may not want to be near you. After you picked a scent that is appropriate for the season and others, you can apply it to your wrists and/or neck.

Hair

Finally if you are in a hurry, your hair should brush and comb your hair before styling it with a flat iron, blower dryer, and/or curling iron. However if it is a nice day out and you can wait an hour to leave your home, you can always towel dry your hair and let the heat dry it. After you are done styling your hair, you may want to brush it again to put it up or leave it down. You can also add any other hair products such as anti frizz or volumizer for lasting affects.

How to Conceal Wrinkles …

… Less is more!

Never has that been so true when it comes to makeup and our faces as we age.

Here’s some tips on the right and the wrong ways to apply foundation and powders:

• Go light on the use of foundation. Most women use too much foundation in the attempt to cover up wrinkles and fine lines. This actually has the opposite effect of highlighting imperfections instead of covering them up.
• Use a tinted moisterizer instead and only on the parts of your face that you feel need it. Go a shade or two darker as well no matter how light your skin. Darker shades can also help to hide those wrinkles as lighter shades have the tendency to make them stand out.
• Powder Power: When you were younger, you probably had the problem of too much oil on your skin and thus used powder all over your face. Stop this habit Now! Powder absorbs moisture and oil as it is intended to do. Mature skin lacks moisture and doesn’t need it. Use it only on either your nose or chin areas. Professional makeup artists NEVER use powder on women over 50. Powder has the nasty habit of sitting on top of wrinkles and makes them stand out.

… Sagging Skin and What To Do About It

Plastic surgery? Facelifts? Botox?

Wait! Don’t run off and find a plastic surgeon just yet!

Makeup can do wonders here too.

Jowl lines are sometimes called funny lines as they extend from your nose are down to your jaw line. They appear most prominently when you laugh and that’s why they are referred to as “funny lines”. These tend to deepen as we age. You can minimize these by drawing attention away from them:

• Wear longer more prominent earrings as it will pull eyes away from your jaw lines
  but don’t wear chokers or large necklaces as they will draw attention to your jawline.
• Use the proper haircut – a trick to hide those sagging necklines. Haircuts that drop just below the chin will draw attention away from your chin. Longer cuts are better as they will draw the eyes even further down and distract from your neck.

Crow’s Feet…

… No Not Another Exotic Chinese Dish!

Crow’s feet are those wrinkles and fine lines that appear on the outside edges of our eyes.

They also appear often when you laugh as we crinkle our eyes when we do so.

When you were younger, your skin was elastic enough to bounce back from this act of crinkling.

Not so when you get older. Your skin loses its elasticity and these lines become permanent so:

• Don’t use heavy amounts of concealer or you’ll risk having “raccoon eyes”.
• Just apply a few dabs of concealer and lightly pat it on with a good high quality brush.
• Do not use powder around the eyes as it will settle into those lines.

Saggy Eyelids…

… Don’t use mascara on the bottom eyelashes. Instead:

• Curl your upper lashes and use the darkest color mascara you have on them to make your eyes pop.
• Use eyeliner only on the upper lid as well.
• Use liquid liner instead of a pencil as it stays better.
• Apply a natural looking curve line on the outer corners to give a faux lift to them. Make the lines light and not thick.
• Don’t line the inside of your eyes.
• Don’t use shimmer or light eyeshadow.
• Use darker shades to create a shadow effect to minimize the look of crow’s feet.

Thinning Hair …

… No. We’re not talking about a new hair re-growth product!

We can go to the moon but we can’t re-grow hair…yet!

Facial hair thins as well. For us women, particularly our eyebrows.

Thinning eyebrows need particular attention. Why? When thinning eyebrows, stray out of place uneven length hairs will stand out more than normal. Get them professionally done.
Don’t try to draw your own brows. They NEVER turn out looking good. If you must draw in to fill in, also have them professionally done.

Your lips will also thin as you grow older…

.. Yes, hair isn’t the only thing that thins!

Lips thin because we will lose fat in them as we age. That’s why women have fat injections to plump up their lips. But you don’t need to go to this extreme. Makeup can help here too:

• Pick the right lip color.
• Skip the bright colors.
• Use a color that is a shade or 2 darker than than your natural color.
• Create a lip line by using a lip liner – to compenaste for your lip line fading as you get
  older so .
• Then apply lipstick. Consider replacing your lipstick and using lip gloss instead.
• Gloss can create the illusion of plump lips.
• Don’t use lip plumpers. They do work but the effects are very temporary and when your lips deflate, it will cause your lip lines and lipstick to become displaced.
