Makeovers to Look Younger

BEFORE Photo

There comes a time for many women around the age of forty, when upon glancing in the mirror , they realize the aging process has really kicked in. When did those fine lines around the lips and the slight sagging under the eyes appear? They hadn’t been noticed before, and strangely, though our exterior changes we often feel as young on the inside as we did in our 20’s. So how successful are makeovers to help us look younger?

It is worth noting the ten most common areas for concern for forty plus women (just in case you didn’t know) are:-

Hair
Style and clothing
Skin
Fashion
Face and neck
Dressing appropriately for age
Posture
Vitality and health
Make-up
Relationships

Even if we address a few of the above concerns and make some recommendations this will often be enough to make a big difference to how you look.

Hair

Hair can be the first step that makes a major a difference when it comes to makeovers. By the time women are in their forties they have adopted a preferred hairstyle and length. One of the quickest ways to look younger is to cut long hair into a medium or short style. This lifts and rejuvenates the face, elongates the neck and slims the upper body. Combine this with colouring your hair with a shade that harmonises and compliments your natural colouring and you are well on the way to looking younger.

Make-up

One of the most noticeable signs of aging is the brown discolouration of the skin or what we commonly know as “age spots”. The youthful glow of our 20’s and 30’s has long gone and now, more than ever, is the need for a foundation that gives maximum coverage and is perfectly matched to your skin tone to smooth out the complexion. Mascara and subtly applied eyeliner and eyeshadow help define the eyes and draw attention to one of our best features. Lips are well defined and finished with lipstick that enhances skin tone and clothing and finally simply add a gentle flush of colour on the cheeks.

Fashion

It’s easy to become lazy with the way we dress as we age. Life is busy and as we age it becomes harder to find clothes that suit our changing body shape. Be warned as some of your clothes may be making you look older.

The danger list:-

Cardigans
High closed blouses
Gathered yokes
Long skirts
Pleated skirts
Gathered skirts
Hand knits
Elastic waists
Pearl buttons
Cameos
Shapeless clothes
Wide vamps
Lace up shoes

Are some of these things in your wardrobe? What we wear has a dramatic impact on how young or old we appear to be and some styles and colours have the power to make us look instantly older by their association with the elderly. If you are sick and tired of settling for clothes that don’t really do you any justice then it is worth the investment of an Image Consultant.

You’ll be impressed by just how much younger makeovers can make you look when you incorporate the above guidelines.
