Makeup tips for women who are 40+?

skin care 30 plus women
bronte hei
So, I used to wear makeup all the time from my teens to my mid 30's. I have only worn makeup on rare occasions for the last 10 years, and now I am ready to start wearing it on a regular basis again. The thing is...my skin is old, the color and elasticity has changed, and my eyelids are drooping (what? Did that just happen over night?). So I know I can't apply makeup like I used to, or even wear the same colors, but I can't find any website that will show me how to apply makeup (step-by-step) onto this older woman's face. I have found all sorts of sites that show how to apply makeup to young faces, but nothing for me. So....can anyone recommend some web sites or a book or ANYTHING????
Thanks!

BTW, I also have rocacea (red, blotchy skin)
Answer
I don't know of any websites, but I am trained to do makeovers, so I can give you a few tips!
1. Moisturize! The first thing you want to do before you put on your makeup is to apply a nice moisturizer. Pick whatever you like....anti-aging, wrinkle plumping, etc. It doesn't have to be really expensive. If you are noticing age spots or changes in skin color, you might want to try a skin brightener as well (Clarins sells a good one called Bright Plus--it's like bleach for our skin and fades skin discolorations.) WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER YOU MOISURIZE, then start on your makeup.
2. Pick a foundation that has lots of moisture in it, and pat it on lightly. If you cake it on, it will settle in your lines and make you look older. Avoid powder at all costs! It will also settle in your lines and make you look dried out. Use a little bit of cream blush in a peachy, natural color on the apples of your cheeks.
3. For your eye makeup, stick to neutral colors like browns or grays. Eyeliner is also your friend! Use a soft black color and line your upper and lower lashes lightly to define your eyes, and find a nice thickening mascara.
4. For lipstick, again, pick one with a lot of moisture (but don't go for gloss) and don't use a lip liner.
Avoid the "fad" makeup colors and stick to natural colors. Skin care is THE BEST thing you can do, so find a few products that you love and use them religiously! Again, they don't have to be really expensive. I hope this helps! :)

Does Hair Plus Shampoo and Conditioner really make hair grow?
I hear some peoples hair grows almost two inches a month.
Answer
NO. Who's telling you it does? People your own age? People who've had over 4 decades of hair know how? Salon people?
Shampoo is meant to clean, Google it.
Conditioner is for hair that's chemically treated, curly/wavy hair or hair that's been straightened.
Anything else they're saying it would do, they're lying, just to get your business, it is a billion dollar business, btw, and they don't give money back for damaged hair or hair loss, due to 'abuse'.
When you wash your hair with one of those nutrient-rich shampoos, most of the nutrients and active ingredients in the product donât actually end up in your hair, they wind up down the drain⦠along with all the money you spent on the shampoo.
It is HOW you use to style your hair or what styling tools that damage the hair, and what chemicals you're adding to the hair, not the shampoo . If you're having cavities, or teeth falling out one after another, you don't change toothpaste.
It may grow very slowly or none at all if you've straightened your hair in the past.
You get the strength & all your vitamins & minerals & proteins FREE from the good foods you eat from Mother Nature, not made by man, and no shampoo can help grow hair, not even those made for horses. Horses don't abuse their hair, using heating tools, and they eat better than people, but it won't add more hair & make their hair longer faster.Shampoo intended for animals may contain insecticides or other medications for treatment of skin conditions or parasite infestations such as fleas or mange. These must never be used on humans.
Prenatal vitamins don't make your hair grow. Pregnant women have to start taking care of their bodies when they're pregnant, meaning stop smoking, drinking, dyeing or perming their hair SO OF COURSE their hair start growing again. But it has nothing to do with their hair, it has something to do to help the development of their unborn child.

I know hair. I have over 4 decades of hair know-how. I have silky, shiny, soft, smooth very healthy hair down to my knees. Previously damaged by perming & dyeing in the 80's & 90's. I've known people in their 30's whose hair stopped growing from ironing their hair in the 70's. If cheap shampoos are damaging, it's the result for my healthy hair then!

Is it just me or am I just being tempted to quit already?
marisol262
I started with Mary Kay around the end of February, making it one month since I started. I have attended two meetings, the first one went great because I did learn lots of things but yesterday I felt really bad because I see that all these women get recognized for selling a lot of products and at the same time had lots of Skin Care Classes. I have only had one facial, and hope to have around three more this and next week(I have already spoken to some people about it). But, what I feel bad about is that I have had lots of people not order from the book because they either have had an allergic reaction or because they believe it is too expensive. What I think is that they do not know the product. But anyway, should I be thinking this way already? I know one of the main concepts from Mary Kay is "not quitting".I need to mention that I do have a full time job and have a married life with two young boys.How can I approach other methods to try to sell Mary Kay, and I do like it though.
Answer
DOn't give up! It will get easier. The first year of a business is the hardest and the first 6 months are the hardest of that. You business will have highs and lows. Right now you are comparing yourself to people that may have more clients, a different situtation at home, working their business longer, who knows. BUt, please don't let yourself compare yourself to anyone. Your goal should be to do the best you can right now and try to improve every month. The focus should be growing your clientele by seeing more faces. Don't worry about sales right now. Just see as many faces as you can and it will grow from there.
I suggest doing the power start: 30 faces in 30 days. I know this sounds like a lot, but with 6 classes of 5 people each, you would be done! Plus, getting referrels from each one makes a huge difference! When I hit lows I do the power start all over again. Whomever I ask I just say "I am working on a huge goal for my business and need to borrow your face" then I remind them to keep their checkbook in the car. It takes the pressure off and if they like the product, then they will buy.
I have 2 boys, work fulltime and my husband is deployed, so I totally understand your frustration. Just keep working at it and give it TIME!

Opinions on Avon and Mary Kay. Should I join and, start selling? Which one is best? How much is it?
*LiZ*
Well, I contacted one woman in King William, Va. She said the cost to start was $20. But, I have seen numerous people on the internet say it's only $10. I am interested in doing this, but need to know opinions of people that have done this before. Also, if you have sold Mary Kay before, how much is that to start? Which one is better to do? Thanks ahead!
Answer
There are pos and cons to both companies you need to decide which is best for you based on the facts so talking with someone from both companies so you get facts not hear say or emotion information.
They are very different in the way they conduct business I know a little about Avon it does cost less to start however it seems to be harder to make money too. You also have to earn the percentage you make based on your sales. You can be an e consultant I think that is where the $20 comes in. Avon focus more on catalog sales but I think they also have consultant that do shows not sure or is it if you sign online verse with a person see ask someone who sell Avon I could be mixing it up. ( My mk Director sold it yrs ago before MK twice actually)
MK cost $100 to start plus shipping 8.75 and your state tax. You get over $300 in full size products to demo enough to do 30 faces plus business supplies and demo trays etc. You make 50% of what you sell always plus you can earn business and commissions. Books change quarterly some would say MK is expensive it is comparable to department store process so the market is there hence you don't have to work as hard to make money you get sales and the reorder business especially from skin care. In MK it is about the service of your clients not just passing out books.
Hope this helps
