The famous Coco Chanel said that if a woman is smart, then she will be beautiful at any age. But why, after 45, not everyone can look spectacular?

Many women out of inertia continue to use beauty techniques that should be abandoned after 45 years. Which? Let’s talk!

Matte skin

All girls are sure: the face should not shine too much. Therefore, we use matte tonal creams and powders, not thinking about the fact that with age, the skin releases less sebum. Therefore, the use of these funds after 45 makes the face “overdried”, and because of this, we look even older.

Long hair

Over time, the oval of the face changes: it lengthens, and the cheeks lose their former shape, “falling” down. Because of this, curls that create volume in the chin area only spoil the impression. So after 45, choose short or cascading haircuts – this will help you look younger.

Dark lip contour

This trend goes away and then comes back. But remember: if you are 45 or older, never circle light lips with a dark pencil, this technique should “die” for you forever. Contrasts will only draw attention to the small wrinkles that have appeared on the face.

Bright shadows

Excessively bright eye makeup works similarly – it emphasizes crow’s feet and other folds. Do you want to look younger than your age? Choose peach, beige, and light brown shades.

Long nails

They are always in fashion because with them the fingers look aristocratic and graceful. But, alas, such a manicure in adulthood has the opposite effect. If wrinkles appear on the skin and veins appear, then long nails will only emphasize these shortcomings. So go for other shapes like a mid-length almond or a short square.

Light colors in clothes

With age, the skin fades, and therefore a light-colored blouse or jumper will merge with the face. Play on the contrast that emphasizes: the clothes are separate, and the body is separate. Another ban after 45 is thin knitwear, which demonstrates all the changes in the figure. However, if you keep fit with diet and fitness, you can ignore this rule!
