My point I wish to make today is that there are ways for women at every age to wear something fun and trendy. I hate it when I hear a perfectly confident, beautiful woman who is no longer in her 20's or 30's say she is "too old" for anything. It's all about making it work for you. Usually all that means is toning it down a bit (which is something the youngsters should probably do too, but don't).
Maybe you love red lipstick... if you feel like you can't pull it off anymore, go with a red stain or gloss... Or a tinted balm. But keep rocking those red lips! Do you love glitter as much as I love glitter? Look for finely milled glitters that aren't so disco ball chunky. My favorite look is a wash of iridescent glitter on my lids over a pearly white base. Just simple and very beautiful in the sun. It is a great day look. Or go with a glittery shadow maybe just in the inner corner of your lid... or on the outer corner.
I have a great example of a look I feel like I can't pull off anymore... (I do question if anyone can really pull it off however!) But the dark eyes with dark lips look. I used to rock this look all the time in the 90's. I'd do a deep red lip with dark smokey eyes. Yes ladies, this was before the term "smokey eye" had been coined. But now, I feel it is too much for me. What do I do? If I rock dark smokey eyes, and want to do a red lip... I do a sheer red. Easy peasy. It just softens it up enough that it doesn't look harsh on my not 20 something face. I found my balance. (I will say that now I prefer a nude lip with smokey eyes... I just really like that look... even if it is a darker nude lip... meow!)
So ladies, find your beautiful.
Take that trend you are coveting and make it yours. You can do it, I know you can.
Kisses, Paula
