Makeup for Menopause
By mati. Filed in Makeup Tips |Tags: makeup for menopause
As we hit menopause and beyond, many things changes. One of the things that changes is our natural coloring. The hair loses its vibrancy and takes on some kind of dullness, gray hair shows up, both on the head and on the eyebrows, which really changes the look of the face. The skin texture changes and the color becomes almost translucent. And even though the changes are subtle, you can see the all over effect when you look in the mirror. Pale and dull comes to mind…
So, what can we do to bring back some color to the face? The hair color can make a huge difference, but first, there are misconceptions that have to be cleared. Have you heard people say “the older you get, the blonder you should go?” This is not at all so! What it should say is “the older you get, the softer the color.” For example, if you are naturally jet black or very dark brown, lighten the hair a bit so you get less contrast between the hair and your skin. If you are very blonde, darken the color a bit with some honey blond or wheat to give your skin more warmth. If you have pale skin and freckles, you can’t beat a red tone, especially if you have blue eyes. Just stay away from any kinds of extremes, like burgundy or carrot, and don’t go too dark. If your hair has turned mousy brown, lighten it a bit if your skin is cool, and put a touch of red or chestnut in it if you have warm skin tone.
Also, I would recommend dying your eyebrows to get rid of white or gray hairs. Eyebrows frames the face and enhances your eyes, and getting rid fo the white hairs makes a huge difference. Refectocil is a great eyebrow color to use. They have a light brown that looks very natural since it doesn’t have any red in it, and the whole process is very simple and only takes 5 minutes.
When it comes to makeup, again, you must look for soft colors. I don’t believe in lining the lips with lip liner, even if they have lost some of their definition, because lipliner always gives you a harsh and painted look. Better option – tinted lip balm or lip gloss that just gives you a hint of color and shine. Tinted lips, especially with gloss, gives you a very young and sexy look.

And, don’t forget blush. I love cream blush, especially on mature skin, but any blush will do. Blush lights up your face more than anything.
Then, top it off with some gorgeous mascara, the more the better.
Funny enough, young girls and mature women can actually wear the same kind of makeup. Less is more in both cases…

I enjoy changing my hair color all the time but I can’t afford to do it at a salon so I do it me at home. Which product is your favorite?

After my disastrous experience with the so called “natural” color called naturtint, I’m not touching regular color any more. Now, I am only using Logona Hair color with pure henna and all natural ingredients. Yes, it is messy, but at least it is good for the hair.
