Each stage of life offers its own kind of beauty. At 22, you may prefer a cutting-edge appearance. At 45, you may opt instead for a more classic or elegant look. Whatever your age, however, one thing doesn't change: the desire to look your best. Follow this month's guide to timeless beauty to uncover your natural, beautiful self.
Regardless of your age, one key to emphasizing your natural beauty is to recognize your face shape and contour your cosmetics accordingly, says Sarah Monzani, the Oscar®-winning makeup artist for "Evita." Whether your face shape is round, square or long, the right combination of foundation and blush, applied effectively, will lay the base for a great look, she says.
Aside from this basic, keep in mind these considerations for a beautiful appearance at any stage of life:
Your Live-It-Up 20s
A period of empowerment, your 20s mark a time when you've passed through the gauntlet of your teens and are heading into maturity. Your 20s also may be a time of peak beauty — the last of your awkward teen traits are gone, and in comes a new level of poise. Now's the time to have fun with your dress and cosmetics, and how you present yourself to the world.
You also may want to experiment with new haircuts and colors that better reflect your new station in life. Update your look — without the commitment — by experimenting with the Clairol® Try It On Studio. You can upload your own photo or use a model on the Web site to discover what color, cut and style may best reflect the new you, based on your current hair color.
And remember — the way you treat your skin and body today may well show up in later years, so rest, eat right and protect your skin from damaging sun exposure with coverage in products such as CG Smoothers SPF 15 Tinted Moisture.
