Meryl Streep

Applying the Right Kind of Makeup is Also a Key Factor in Achieving the Stunning Older Woman Look.
While having smooth and glowing skin does a lot to make these iconic older women look younger than other women of the same age, we all agree that putting on the right kind, color and amount of makeup is also a key factor in achieving a vibrant and sophisticated, older woman look.
Makeup experts give advice that mature women should stop using face powder as it tends to emphasize the creases, especially the bronzing kind that contain some kind of light reflector. While a sheer lightweight foundation is a better alternative, choosing the right color is a must as the wrong color could make an older woman’s skin look either frail or harsh-looking. The right color of makeup is always important, especially for the lips and cheeks.
One of the best makeup tricks that can make an older woman’s eyes look bright and alive is the application of an eyeliner. Yet one should use only brown instead of black or any other color, because black eyeliners are best for those who want to look mature or to create a dramatic eye make-up effect. Deep brown is the color to use as natural eyeliner for older women, because it can create the same eye-enhancing effect as black, but not as jarring or intense. .
