Which brand/type/trend to use ?

So..I love fashion and beauty. However,in my wiser years,I find my skin and face becoming quite unagreeable with some of the products that have been made available to me today. PLUS, so many trends and styles are out that just don't suit me. Some of the beauty trends look edgy and young and bold,which I love.But I just can't pull off the newest one.I tend to stick to the classic,barely there looks now.I want to know what suggestions all of you have for the woman who wants to still be trendy but not "in your face". I'm 40 (dare I say the number) and I want to have statement that says I look great ..not just "for my age" either. Suggestions... comments? Thank you !

For fashion you might keep your clothes appropriate for your age but add something more current in your accessories like a new handbag, jewelry and/or shoes. In makeup I keep it simple now because of my age I do try to add new color trends for lipstick or eyeliner but still keep it soft/simple . Classic is always in style in my opinion and you can do that at any age.

I've seen women wearing bangles and chunky bracelets lately and that is a very wearable(for any age) very cute way to look 'statementy' lol. Another 'hip' thing is highlighting your hair. That can really brighten your face and make you appear younger!

As for makeup, you can't go wrong with a bold lip. Orange is very in right now. Maybe a sheer lip butter in a bright color to start off with. It takes awhile for a person to get used to seeing theirselves in bright colored makeup when we're not used to it. For me I started with sheer lipstick and lipgloss and kept bumping it up until I felt comfortable wearing opaque lipstick. With a bold lip you would want to stay neutral in your eyes. If you wanted to go bright on the eyes I would start with a colored eyeliner until you feral comfortable with more. When I wear colored liner I still push black liner into my lashline to keep the eyes defined.

Try IT Cosmetics! They have amazing products that are for EVERYONE. Nothing "trendy" or "outrageous." They're made for naturally beautiful looks.

I totally get where your coming from op- I definitely feel like my skin has been more rebellious- it seems the older I get, the more sensitive my skin get's. I even have a hard time putting on moisturizer before bed- if it isn't something pretty natural (and even sometimes when it is) my eyes will water for hours. I really need to do a product hunt and upgrade my products!

In our later years, I have found that "less is more". Olay makes fabulously light facial products that do wonders for the skin, they are not heavy and bring out the skins natural beauty along with keeping the skin nourished and glowing!

I honesty can't get away with bold looks. I wear basic black eyeliner and mascara and nude shades on my eyes. I feel if I want to feel Sheek I put on a red or pink lipstick and I feel sexy. Less is more

I love love love Everyday Minerals. You truly can wear it daily and it helps keep skin clear and no harsh chemicals. It can be dressed up for busy times or wore light everyday at home. I like that I can wear it and not feel like my face is melting.. Plus you can change up and make it lighter/darker as you need or want.
