Make Up Over Wrinkles
Makeup for Women Over 40
Author: Suzan Luttrull
If you are aged 40 or older and you choose the wrong makeup it can make you look older and draw attention to the imperfections that you would rather conceal. Makeup should enhance your features rather than cover them up. Makeup that is formulated for younger women does not work for older women due to their heavy textures, saturated colors and shiny particles that only emphasize lines, creases, wrinkles and pores. Mature women need makeup products that are lightweight, sheer and shimmer-free.
There are many elements of face makeup that influence how it will look on your face including:
- Makeup texture
- Makeup finish – matte or shimmer
- Makeup color, shade or tint
- Formula composition:
- Powder, cream or liquid
- Oily, drying, moisturizing, skin balancing etc.
Lauren Hutton, longtime model and actress, developed her own line of signature brand cosmetics, “Good Stuff” at a time when there were few makeup products on the market that worked well for her as a mature, older woman. Lauren’s makeup is formulated for mature women with no mica, pearl or filler, all of which falls into lines and wrinkles making them more apparent. The powder formulations also have less pigment than standard make up because as women age, their color begins to fade so highly pigmented make up can give a clownish appearance.
The secret to skin that looks even in tone and nearly free of fine lines and pores is applying foundation conservatively (a nickel-sized dollop for the whole face) and using the sheerest formula you can get away with, says Tim Quinn, celebrity makeup artist. The heavier you apply your makeup, the more apt it is to sink into and emphasize any irregularities in texture.
Another option that works great is using Lauren Hutton’s AquaPress facial skin treatment. It reduces lines and wrinkles and with daily use has residual benefits of improved skin tone and texture. As with all makeup you need to start with your skin at its best – clean and moisturized so your foundation with go on with the smoothest finish. Hydration is a health benefit as well as a beauty tip, since beauty is more than skin deep. Tim Quinn lists hydration as his number one makeup tip for women over forty, as follows:
Tim Quinn’s Makeup Tips for Women Over 40:
1. Stay hydrated.
At any age it is important to drink plenty of water. When we are well hydrated our skin is less dry. Moist skin and lips always give a more youthful appearance. Dewy skin is naturally luminous.
2. Wear a foundation that matches your skin tone.
Before buying a foundation, test this face makeup where it belongs – on facial skin and not the back of your hand which often is not the same tone.
3. Don’t create a visible line around your lips, avoid brighter and deeper colors and choose more neutral shades.
Darker colors tend to bring your overall appearance down, a more neutral and natural shade will bring your look up and brighten your whole face.
4. Prevent under-eye cover-up creasing; don’t wear cakey concealer.
To prevent under-eye cover-up creasing, apply a rich eye cream both before and after your concealer. The moisturizing ingredients in an eye cream refresh the makeup and keep it from growing cakey. Quinn recommends keeping your eye cream in your makeup bag, then lightly tapping it on over your makeup throughout the day.
Recommended Makeup Accessories
- For powder makeup use good quality makeup brushes
- For liquid makeup use makeup sponges
All the experts agree; the right products are only half the equation; good makeup application techniques and using the right makeup accessories are just as important. For the easiest way to get started with a new face makeup beauty regimen, Lauren Hutton Good Stuff makeup comes with an instruction booklet and free video that tells you where the makeup needs to go along with other beauty secrets and makeup tips that Lauren has learned from the greatest makeup artists for over four decades. It’s helped keep her looking good and working in front of the camera to this day.

Funny…I was determined to NOT have my house be crazytown at the very end
I wanted to be totally done with all the wedding stuff at least 1 to 2 weeks before the big day. I finalized everythng I could at least 2 weeks before, updated a few seating assignments and printed out new layouts a couple days ago and took ALL of my wedding stuff to my coordinator about 8 days before the wedding. There was nothing but my jewelery, gown, shoes, gifts, accessory/makeup kits, etc for me to take with me on the wedding day. It was much more relaxing for me that way.
I feel for ya on having everything be so public and will look forward to hearing from you on your recaps. I tried to keep my blog as anonymous as possible from family and friends and even created a separate blog where I post similar but 'revised' versions of my posts for the family recaps
Sounds good just use it lightly, around the times when your skin is dirtiest. Usually that's at the end of the day or in the mornings when you face is oily.
Your skin may actually become dry if you use these products even just a tad too frequently and if you trying to avoid acne flare-ups or "dry, rubbery" skin, then its best to get a non-comedonic moisturizer: that should be adequate (using just a smidge after you wash). My reccommendation is that you start out with mild cleansers then move your way up if you think you need a stronger kind. Its easy to abuse your skin with generic stuff so always take it slow and consistently with new products.
It all depends on your type of skin; just test it out for ya' self see how you feel. Remember if your overdoing anything, its gonna look and feel that way on your skin. Get plenny of exercise and water; keep your skin healthy! Best wishes mate.
What You Need To Know About Serious Skin Care What do you think of when you hear serious skin care? For most people this will set off an internal alarm.

You don’t want to wait for damage to show up before you start taking care of your skin. You want to do some serious skin care to not only get rid of problems on your skin but also to prevent any problems from happening.

On-prescription acne skin care products are the ones that are prescribed by a dermatologist. This can include ointments that can be applied on the affected area or oral antibiotics or just any topical treatment. Dermatologist could also suggest a minor surgical procedure to remove the contents of pustules. However, never try to squeeze or do this by yourself, it can lead to permanent damage of your skin. Your doctor could also prescribe a hormone-based treatment (since hormonal changes are also known to cause acne). Such acne skin care products are known to be very effective in some cases. So, with all those acne skin care products, tackling acne is not that difficult.
