Aging is a beautiful process if we let it happen with a bit of care. One thing I have decided is that I will never let any needles or knives get into the natural process of aging. The idea is to age like wine and not like milk. It is okay to embrace our age, naturally. We just have to dedicate a few minutes every day to self-care. This may include eating healthy food, getting adequate sleep, working out, and spending some happy time for ourselves. Apart from these basic lifestyle habits, I have got a few beauty tips that may help to make any woman over 40 at their best.
Top 5 Beauty Tips for Women over 40
1. Skin First: No matter if you ever wear any makeup or not, the best thing is to take care of your skin. If your skin looks healthy, you actually do not need any makeup to cover up your flaws.
Investing a few bucks in your skin can go a long way. Start including Retinol at night and Vitamin C in the daytime. Do not forget your sunscreen, even if you are indoors. If you wear makeup, make sure to remove it before going to bed.

2. Sheer Base Makeup: Once you hit your 40s, your makeup should be a little different from what used to be during your 20s. A heavy base may look very cakey and will not help you enhance your features. As I always say, my idea of makeup is to enhance what you already have and not to transform who you are. Use base makeup that is lightweight and gives a dewy finish. If you are blessed with good skin, you can just use a concealer to camouflage the undereye area and other spots. Apply a translucent powder only on the areas that tend to get shiny.

3. Creamy Formulations: Try to use makeup products that are cream-based. A creamy blush or eyeshadow can make you look fresher and livelier than powder-based products. Invest in a good creamy blush that complements your skin tone the most. Even for lip colours, choosing a cream-based formula is ideal.

4. Be Cautious with Eye makeup: While colourful trendy eye makeup looks can be very tempting to try, it is better not to experiment too much with that. Sticking to neutral shades is the best idea. An eyeliner can open up the eyes. A volumizing mascara can make your lashes look luscious. Apply pop or striking shades cautiously. Curling your lashes before applying mascara is a great way to make them look longer.

5. Less is more: That is the universal mantra of makeup. While piling up on products may sound quite tempting, all they will do is enhance your flaws more and more. It is best to stick to a few products that can help you get the most of your features. Do not experiment much, and try to understand what are the things you need the most. If your main concern is dark spots or blemish marks, invest in skincare or makeup that addresses the issue.
