Erase 10 years: Go glossy

Before
Lips get thinner and drier with age. Dark lip liner and matte lipstick draw attention to the fine lines around your lips.

After
"Lipstick usually has a longer wear than gloss," explains celebrity makeup artist Sonia Kashuk, but gloss makes lips look more full. She suggests applying lip color, then topping with gloss for a fresh, youthful shine. If your color strays into lines, use a clear wax lip liner, like DuWop Reverse Lipliner ($19, sephora.com), to keep color from traveling.

I had a hard time with eyeshadow too until I started using Bobbi Brown cream shadow. Not the glitter, just the cream. A lot of neutral and you can even put it on with your finger. Worth the price

Getting rid of the shimmer, lightening up on the lipstick, and going for neutral facial enhancers were all highly appropriate tips for the featured model. The pro of using a "real" woman in this piece demonstrates how the tips provided can truly help. Unfortunately, I am not used to seeing a "real" person featured in a beauty piece. Somewhat refreshing.

You can wear shimmer as you age, but you have to know where to apply it and what colors to use. I've seen a lot of women my age (55) who look dull and dried up because they've gone too matte. Most of us can't wear bright colors anymore; that's true. But there are lots of soft, beautiful shades that would have looked lackluster when we were young and now look elegant and refined. A soft lip pencil that matches your lip color can become your best defense against lipstick drifting into creases around your mouth. And the fantastic new cream and gel eyeliners were made for us (even though they weren't really). Plus, how fabulous is it that there are now mascaras that promote eyelash growth and really work?
