3. Learn to use bronzer and blush. “This combo keeps you ‘selfie ready,'” Kashuk says. “It also boosts every mature skin tone, from light to dark.” She recommends picking a bronzer shade that works with your real skin tone — “you’re not tanning” — then adding blush to keep the look authentic. “It should all melt together in a warm, sunny flush.”
4. Ditch the dark. Could now be the time to modify your “smoky eye” routine? “Black liner, precise contouring and dark eye shadows can look muddy and harsh,” Kashuk notes. “That’s because the eyes become more recessed after 50, developing their own dark shadows. But you can keep the twinkle with a soft, medium shade, such as a shimmery mauve-brown, blended across the lids.”
Because she finds that women’s lashes “go straighter and droopier with age,” Kashuk says that you might consider switching to brown or gray liner. And for a lifting effect, curl your lashes before applying mascara.
5. Just brows-ing! Even if you’ve never worn eyebrow makeup before, Kashuk points out, it may be “one of those things you need now.” Use a brow pencil or powder, she suggests, to “cheat” a slightly thicker brow. This gives the face a groomed, finished appearance. “A taupe-y shade works for all, from blond to brunette to brows going gray. It fills spaces without looking fake.” (Just remember to go easy on the stuff, she cautions.) To achieve a soft, natural effect, Kashuk endorses using “a spiral spoolie makeup brush to blend and brush out the color.”
6. Test-drive some falsies. False eyelashes, that is. “Our lashes thin with age,” Kashuk notes, “and while mascara is great, a natural strip of false lashes is even better.” The effect is twofold: Your eyes will look bigger and brighter, while your face will feel “dressed,” even with minimal other makeup. “And learning to do them is easier than you think,” Kashuk reassures us. “It just takes practice.”
7. Keep nails classy. Think about what’s going to look sexy on your hands. As Kashuk sees things, that would be deep colors in winter, but “bright, feminine colors” (such as orange or red) in summer. Oh, and in her opinion: “Stay away from crazy colors — like blue!”
8. Pucker up. “Nude lip shades always look amazingly youthful,” Kashuk says. “But as lips begin to thin or flatten, a little more color can be very flattering.” She waves us off middle-of-the-road shades, however. Instead, “head for a rich pure coral, rose or orange. To add a tiny bit of fullness, cheat the top line with a lip-toned pencil, then soften the line by tapping it with your finger.”
