Beauty products eventually go bad and take a toll on your skin.

Start the new year by getting rid of what you don’t need so you can focus on making this the best year yet. In Look Fresh, Feel Better: Drop the Clutter This New Year, thought leadership blogger Carolyn Miller talked about how you can reduce stress and have clearer skin by decluttering your home.

If you’re feeling the urge to let go of the old now that the New Year is here, there’s no better time to purge clutter. And there are health reasons to do so.

And guess where that ill health is mostly likely to show up? On your skin.

I cringe whenever a trend comes out that has 17-year-old models in bright red lipstick and no eye makeup, or about an inch of black eyeliner under their eyes and no lipstick.

You can’t replicate that look on a woman over 40, no matter how beautiful she is.

Instead of trying to imitate the latest makeup trend, stick to wearable, stylish looks that emphasize the brilliant, talented and articulate person you are!

In my previous post about makeup tips for the over 40 crowd, we talked about how to prepare the skin properly, and then accentuate your skin and bone structure using the right combination of foundation, concealer and blush.

It’s been said that the longest 10 years of a woman’s life is from ages 39 to 40, and I must agree, although 49 to 50 has its challenges as well.

I can’t wear bright red lipstick anymore without looking like I drank too much for breakfast.  Nor can I make up my eyes in the “smoky” look without looking like someone punched me.

It goes along with not being able to stay up all night at your brother’s Super Bowl party or wear high heel shoes all day. Your body says, “Honey, it’s over. Buy flats.”

This begs the question: how do we continue to look fabulous over 40 without looking like we’re trying too hard?

Darlings, don’t worry, help is on the way!
