They say happy girls are the prettiest girl and I for one completely agree. Have you ever noticed at bridal showers and birthday parties for our kids that the younger gals are smiling ear to ear? I have been to so many events for my kid’s friends and I love how these young women present themselves. So I really have been watching and here are the 5 things I noticed that I need to do more!
- WHITEN MY TEETH
- WEAR BRIGHTER LIPSTICK
- BRONZER IS OUR FRIEND
- MASCARA AND LINER FOREVER
- BROW LOVE IS SO IMPORTANT
We all know that we smile more if we are confident in our smile. I feel so strongly about this that I got braces for the second time in my 50’s. That was a hard thing to do but I am so glad I did. With new techniques it is an affordable and practically invisible thing to do.
Whiten those teeth! We all have looked in the mirror and felt, sigh, old. But now more than ever you can whiten those teeth up to 5 shades and trust me when I say this more than even braces will give you confidence.
Don’t forget to brighten up your smile with lipstick. It can be scary to try a new shade but please do. If you hate it, swipe a cleansing cloth across and wipe it off. Bright lips and whiter teeth take years off your smile. I promise.
Yes, I have heard it too. Less makeup as we get older. PUMP THE BRAKES! Less does not mean NONE! In my personal opinion we all could use BRONZER year round. The days of fake sparkly horrible bronzer are OVER! The choices today are so easy and affordable to use. It will give you a HEALTHY glow and who doesn’t want that?
And now to your eyes. If eyes are the window to your soul, for heavens sake take 5 minutes to accentuate them. I am not talking theatre makeup either! I love trying new colors of liners lining the upper lid and inside lash line. For days when I want a little extra I also line the lower inside lash line too. Then mascara to finish off. When you swipe your blush on the apples of your cheeks gently add some to your eye lids as well. A teeny tiny bit of (and I do mean TEENY TINY) highlighter in the inside corner will brighten you up without over doing it.
The finishing touch (DO NOT SKIP THIS) is to fill in your brows. Let’s face it we fade a bit as we get older. I am not talking crazy brows here either but a light hand feathering your brows will frame your eyes and you will look well rested and great.
I hope you will try these EASY and FAST tips. Let me know your thoughts and if you can send pics so I can show before and after on an upcoming post!
