No matter what the age, when a woman sits down in my chair, she usually has to tell me everything she thinks is wrong with her. "It's hard out there for us who are not 20 anymore" or "why bother, I don't really wear makeup anyway", are things I hear alot. Insecurities don't just plague the over 30 set though. "I'm overweight because of stress", or "I have breakouts and freckles because"....
In your 50's sometimes you just give up, but you don't have to.... When doing a makeup on a mature bride recently, I took one look at her makeup bag contents (which was out of date) and realized that sometimes we need to be taught how to makeup ourselves up each decade of our lives...
If people are reintroduced to themselves and shown how they can look at 40, 50, 60, they get a new sense of excitement! When I light up a woman's eyes with color, or camouflauge some flaw that they have been looking at for the past 20 or so years, they are amazed and they start to see themselves differently. Just looking good is the name of the game and anyone can learn to play, with shaped brows, defined lips, and a balanced out skin tone. Please don't feel like you have to resort to drastic measures to feel good about yourself, like surgery. We both know that those procedures can put you one step away from "the crazy face club!" Try things like exercise, drinking lots of water, and eating a clean healthy diet. So you have fine lines, so what? Embrace your good points and play them up! Being over 40 is not a negative thing anymore....Things are changing!
