Makeup Advice for Thirtysomethings

Have you ever wanted makeup advice and didn't know where to turn? We often receive advice from our mothers, and many a woman can recall her mother suggesting a good moisturizing system upon her 30^th birthday. While we may think 30 is too young to be worried about such things, in this case, mother really does know best.  It is never too early to start taking care of your skin - that means your makeup as well.

Our skin changes as we age. It begins to dehydrate more quickly, which causes the onset of fine lines and wrinkles. Hormones also play a huge part in how your skin changes. If you once had oily skin, you may now suddenly have dryer skin.

The following is a list of makeup advice tips for the thirty-something woman to help her take better care of her skin and keep it looking its best.

• Avoid heavy foundations that can clog pores. This is the time to take your skin care seriously. Be sure to always wear sunscreen for protection.
• Don't go overboard with facial powder. Though you may not have deep wrinkles now, you could have fine lines that powder would just love to seep into, making you look older.
• You can pretty much get away with anything on the eyes at night. Go as bold and  daring as you want. During the day, keep it light and wear colors that complement your eye color.
• Invest in an eyelash curler. A quick little curl to the lashes opens up a tired eye in a hurry.
• Stay away from really dark lipsticks that clash with your skin tone. It's all about complementing your skin tone. Get your color chart done and discover if you are a cool or a warm skin tone or get makeup advice from a beauty expert so you are aware of the shades that work best for you.

Besides the right cosmetics, the main supplies a woman in her thirties should have are moisturizers and anti-aging products. Even though you may not have wrinkles or fine lines now, using these products will ensure your skin remains youthful for as long as possible.
