• Be subtle. Many women in this age group use too much makeup. Perhaps they are trying to cover things they do not like about themselves but they wind up looking a bit clownish. You do not want that. Take some time and study your face in the mirror. Decide what your strong points are. (We all have them.) Then plan your anti-aging makeup strategies to emphasize your strong points - rather than trying to hide everything weaknesses (Hiding never works completely.)                                                          If you like your eyes, make them the focus. If you do not like your eyes, then emphasize your lips. A brighter blush can take attention away from any lines around your eyes. But be careful. You want a blush that it blends with your skin and hair color.                                                     Many women in their fifties find that hair color can be a key to looking younger. If you color be sure that that it looks natural. As you reach towards sixty, letting 'pepper and salt' or gray show can be very attractive. If your gray hair has a yellowish tinge, try one of the 'blue' shampoos. I think you will be pleased with the results.
