Wear Blush and Look Younger
By: Victoria Stewart
Makeup can make or break your entire look, and furthermore, it can age you dramatically or make you look fantastic and younger than you really are. Of course, all makeup you wear or don't wear affects the overall look.

5. If you have dry skin, only then you can use a cream blush, otherwise, you should stick to a powder;

6. Apply the blush from the cheekbone (nearest to the hairline), sweeping forward;

7. Ensure it blends in well for a perfect and natural finish;

8. Before beginning the application, use a moisturizer that is right for your skin.

You should avoid bright reds--no mature woman has that natural tone. You should be aiming for a natural finish, not one that makes you look fake, or worse, clown-like. The colors and textures you used when you were younger just don't work for you anymore. The skin is different from what it used to be and so is the texture of it. Rethink it, rework it and you will look fabulous.
