How do you feel about makeup? Do you love it? Do you avoid it? Personally, I love it! Makeup can be a powerful tool that gives you the confidence to live your truth and proudly own your unique beauty.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as your skin ages, you may find that your usual makeup routine doesn\u2019t work like it used to when you were in your 30\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an honest story: I was not very good at applying makeup pre-DYT. It turned out it wasn’t me\u2014I just wasn’t using the correct products and techniques true to my Type. I apply my makeup swiftly with a heavier hand because I’m a Type 3! But when applied this way with the incorrect colors and products, makeup felt heavy, cakey, and fake! (And no one wants that.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I learned a few new tips to work with<\/em> my changing skin, I saw a huge difference in my makeup skills right away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 5 important makeup tips to help you fall in love with your skin again!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Start with a clean canvas<\/a><\/strong>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You might think the first step is to put on foundation, but wait\u2014you\u2019ll want to nourish your face with a natural moisturizer before anything else. I love the Hydrating Face Moisturizer<\/a> from my Anti-Aging Skin Care Line<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it\u2019s time for the Retextur Creme Face Primer<\/a>\u2014just one pump is enough to help minimize pores and give you a smooth, clean finish for your foundation. It helps your makeup stay on longer and keeps your skin from looking \u201ccakey\u201d or dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s time for your foundation<\/a>. This is super important! When you were younger, you may have gotten away with skipping foundation, but make this step a regular part of your routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice that your foundation looks so much better now that you\u2019ve added the moisturizer and primer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Crepey Skin? Matte colors matter.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have crepey skin on your eyelids, here’s a makeup tip you’ll love: choose a matte finish for your main eyeshadow colors<\/a>. Remember, you can still add a pop of color with shimmer to highlight your eyes\u2014but using a matte color as your base will help your eyes look more smooth and plump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra tip: use the Retextur Creme Face Primer<\/a> on your eyes as well to help minimize crepiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Blush is a must!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The color of your skin tends to lighten and fade as you age, so be sure to add a hint of pretty blush<\/a> on your cheeks every day. This touch of makeup helps you look and feel fresh and vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra tip: a little goes a long way! Be sure to blend well with a good blush brush<\/a> so it looks natural and glowy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #4: Define your brows.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brows can become less defined as you age, so give them some support by enhancing them with brow powder. That\u2019s right\u2014brow powder<\/a> looks more natural than a bold brow pencil. The powder will give your brows a soft, yet defined look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra tip: When your brows have the correct shape, they\u2019ll frame your face and make your eyes look bigger and brighter. This tutorial<\/a> will help you get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #5: Embrace your beautiful face.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

…That includes your lines, texture, and age spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While makeup will help enhance your natural beauty, it’s never meant to cover up or alter the natural movement and expression of who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After many years of hating the way I looked, I decided to fully embrace my face. Now, I no longer say the \u201cW\u201d word<\/a>. (Psst…I\u2019ll say it here so you know what that is: wrinkles!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s right\u2014I love my face because it\u2019s an outer expression of the Energy Type I lead with. Because of Energy Profiling and Dressing Your Truth<\/a>, I have helped thousands of women (just like YOU) discover who they truly are and accept themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
