Do you want to look fabulous after 40, but don’t know how? Here are 5 simple fashion and beauty tips that will make you look 10 years younger in 10 minutes.
1. Divide a matching set
Are you still matching your matching jackets with your matching pairs of pants? Then it is time to get divorced. This super coordinated look is old, dated, and makes you look unoriginal (unless, of course, you’re in a traditional job that requires a formal business look).
For a casual outfit, especially on the weekends, try dividing these two key pieces and matching them with other things in your closet. So instead of brown jeans with a brown jean jacket, try brown jean with a fun wrapped sweater or a brown jean jacket with a t-shirt, flowy skirt, and boots. Combining pieces can be easy, but it is not fashionable. Put them with other items in your wardrobe to help you look 10 years younger and project a more creative and playful self!
2. Layer your hair
Want to keep your hair long, but don’t look like you’re desperate to hold on to your youth? Then try this simple trick. Layer your hair. Too many women over 40 with long hair wear it completely straight like they are still in high school. Follow the lead of celebrities like Terri Hatcher, Cindy Crawford, Goldie Hawn, Jaclyn Smith, and Renee Russo and add some bounce with a good cut and some layers to frame the face and create volume.
3. Pass the pearl and gold buttons
We know many of you are attached to your old favorite pearl button and sparkly gold button cardigans, but these look dated and too conservative for a true Glam Gal. Instead, opt for sweaters with modern plain flat buttons. And don’t forget that you can always replace the buttons too. A beautiful button on a plain sweater can make you look fabulous after 40.
4. Get rid of glitter
What do some women have that makes them want to light up like a Christmas tree, even during the day? We are talking about those women over 40 who go overboard with glitter and sparkles thinking that glitter will make them look young. Maybe this really is a problem that comes with declining eyesight after 40 ??? Whatever the reason, we encourage you to take a closer look. Too much flash can really age a girl. If you want to shine, do it with your jewelry and keep the brightness of your clothes to a minimum.
5. Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate
So easy to do and so often overlooked, exfoliating your skin can make aging, dull skin glow! Twice a week it will keep your skin looking fresh and flawless. The latest homemade facial retouchers are an alternative to microdermabrasion. They make you feel like you’ve removed a mask and can help you look 10 years younger.
