Ageless Beauty's Top Ten List

Top Ten Make-up Tips for Ageless Beauty

1. Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lipstick
Long-lasting and non-drying. I put it on in the morning and am set for the day. Honestly, it's that good! Check out the newer pale shades - very suitable for Ageless Beauties.

2.Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15
Lightweight but highly pigmented for terrific coverage. Blends effortlessly.

3.L'Oreal Visible Lift Smooth Absolute Instant Age-Reversing Foundation SPF 17
Amazing coverage and flawless foolproof application at an affordable price.The anti-microbial brush applicator works like a charm. In an unusual marketing understatement, L'Oreal describes the coverage of Visible Lift Smooth Absolute as light to medium. I would describe it as medium to full. You get smooth luminous coverage; yet a very light finish.

4. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Treatment Makeup SPF 18
I love the unique applicator: zero waste, zero mess and a breeze to blend. SPF 18 and good antioxidant cocktail. Medium coverage. Terrific for everyday use or when you're in a rush.

5. L'Oreal Double Extend Mascara
Here's my review of the original version of L'Oreal Double Extend Mascara which was a CEW (Cosmetics Executive Women) Insider's Choice Beauty Award winner in 2009. Such products are "recognized as the most innovative beauty products of the year, chosen by over 3,600 beauty professionals." This new version is easy to spot. It comes in a flashy red tube while the original comes in a dark blue one.

6. Lobe Wonder Support Patches for Earrings
If you have a torn ear lobe (or two), you'll love these little dots of surgical tape that stick on the back of the torn lobe(s). You put on your earring at the top of the piercing (which stretched or tore) and go right through the tape. The tape holds the earring up where you want it to be and prevents any further stretching. I wouldn't wear earrings without these. I've also found that the tear in my earlobe has shrunken over time.

7. L'Oreal Double Extend Eye Illuminator Mascara
This two-part mascara comes in a familiar two-part tube - very similar to our favorite lengthening mascara, L'Oreal Double Extend Mascara.

8. Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow
This shadow glides on smoothly to even the driest thinnest skin. It's long-lasting and crease-resistant. Several of the palettes are subtle enough for Age Warriors. My faves are Precious Metals and Skin Lights.

9. L'Oreal Feel Naturale Light Softening Powder Blush
Blush is the only powdered product I ever use anymore. With dry mature skin, creams and liquids tend to go on and blend better. However, this powder put on right after my liquid foundation blends beautifully. It seems to mix right into the foundation giving me a flawless youthful glow.

10.Sisley Phyto Khol Eyeliner
Sisley eyeliner pencils are extremely soft for easy application on delicate skin. They can be smudged but they set in a few minutes giving you options for various looks. Looking over this list, I realize this is the only splurge prodcuct. Sometimes I just feel I'm worth it!

New makeup products are introduced every day. So this is a dynamic list and I welcome reader input. Please, if you know of something better - especially for us "Age Warriors" - drop me a line.
