How to choose the right foundation for mature skin

The right foundation colour for mature skin

Choosing a foundation that's right for your skin colour is a problem many women face.

There are 1000's of shades of foundation on the market and lots of different brands and formulas. How are you going to choose the right one? 

Is there a foundation that can make you look younger and more glamorous without looking like a made up doll?

And what can you do to avoid making the make up mistakes that are so common?

Colour is the main thing.

How many times have you purchased a foundation and not been happy with it?

Have you EVER been happy with your foundation?

Do you feel you look younger, fresher and attractive in your foundation?

Here are a few key tips that will ensure you make the best choice for make up confidence.

5 top tips for choosing the right colour foundation

  1. Colour is the key. Foundation needs to match your “under” skin tone to look natural. Make up artists and colour consultants use different techniques to determine what colours are best for you. But when it comes to foundation for mature women, my 13 years of experience tells me that beige, neutral and pink tones are more flattering to older women.

 Flattering foundation

 

  1. Choose a foundation you cannot see on the skin. This sounds counter intuitive but a lustrous skin look is gained with a foundation that isn’t detectable on the face.

 

  1. Apply a sheer layer of make up. Foundation looks more natural if it’s applied very thinly and not like a mask

 

  1. Don’t go to light. To avoid a wishy washy look that makes you look tired and lacklustre don’t choose a foundation shade that is too light or white

 

 Make up is too light and white

  1. Don’t choose a colour that’s too dark or orange.

 Many make up manufacturers use a base that is very yellow or orange. Young women seem to like this look, but it gives a heavy coverage and a dark, heavy and aged look

 Make up too orangey and dark

 

 YCS Foundations

Foundations for mature skin in the right colours.

YCS Foundations are amazing for mature women.

The creamy textures work well with drier skins particularly.

The wonderful thing about YCS Foundation is 3-4 shades will suit almost every woman, relieving all the stress of going through hundreds of colours to choose the right one for you.

Most mature women will need an oil based foundation for a dewy finish. Very few woman over the age of 40 have an oily skin. If you do, you can easily choose an oil free formula.

Here is how to get the right shade

01 is for light skin tone

02 is for medium skin tone

03 is for deep skin tone

04 is for dark skin tone.

The 3 formulas above FH Hydrating formula, Cover all foundation and wet and dry foundation can be used on it’s own or as a light dusting powder.

So choose the formula you like.

Eg. Hydrating formula. If you are light you will be FH01, Medium FH02, Deep FH03 very dark FH32.

Cover all foundation

Light #201

Medium #202

Dark #203

Deep #204

Wet and dry

Light #31

Medium #32

Dark #45

4 of the deadliest Colours in your wardrobe

4 of the deadliest Colours in your wardrobe

The 4 Colours that are destroying your wardrobe

Get these 4 colours out of your wardrobe now if you’re interested in looking your best and having a functional and stylish wardrobe. 

It's these 4 colours that are setting your style up to fail especially as you age. 

A powerful style secret

As a professional colour consultant for over 20 years, I've witnessed over and over again, what is destroying fashion for women, especially mature women. 

Have you noticed the older you get, certain colours are aging you as well as making you look drab and dull? 

I’m going to share with you a very powerful secret that will save your wardrobe, your style and even your purse.

For years we have been consumed with the idea of finding out what colours suit us, but despite all the fuss, many have been deceived about the colours that suit them. 

Many stylists are avoiding colour rules and are putting style before colour. This is quiet the wrong way around as colour is 80% of your style equation. 

What are the 4 deadliest colours for mature women to avoid?

Deadly colour no 1.

Black

Coco Chanel did us no favours when she immortalized the LBD ( Little Black dress.)

Once that became fashion law, women all over the world adopted black as their most chic option. 

Trouble is black is the number one deadly colour in your wardrobe.

3 reasons why black is the deadliest colour in your wardrobe.

Black is a non colour.

Black absorbs all light and  has the reputation of bringing death to everything around it.

Have you noticed how dull you look when wearing black?

Have you noticed the shadow and lines on your face and neck become more prominent when you wear black?

What mood does black create? How do you feel at a funeral when everyone is in black? 

It's certainly a sad colour. 

There’s a definite heaviness in the air.

2     Black restricts your colour choices.

The misconception about black is it goes with everything. Hence we wear black pants, black coats, black bags, black shoes etc.

Black becomes the base we build our wardrobe around,

Black has a habit of reproducing itself because black doesn’t go with everything, so many people wear black from top to toe.

You may have a wardrobe full of clothes, but have nothing to wear, because black is your base colour.

Most of your outfits look drab because black is your base.

You go out to buy more clothes because your current wardrobe feels drab only to come home with more black. You try to mix black with other colours and get confused when the outfit looks uncoordinated.

    Black doesn't go with everything

As mentioned black does not go with everything.

It not only does not go with everything it stops you from choosing other multiple colours that do go with everything and do go with you.

If you don’t believe it, google any famous person and note, not only how often they wear black, but also how little colour they wear as well.

This is such a shame because most people do not utilize all their colour and unless you’ve had a proper colour analysis and have learned about all the colours that suit you, you too will be that person as well.

Deadly colour no 2.

Dark navy.

Almost all women I’ve seen over the years, fall into this deadly trap.

They know black is too dull and dark and aging so they substitute black with navy.

But they substitute black with a navy that goes with black and experience the same problems they do if they wear black.

They look dull and uninteresting in dark navy, They need to learn about the right navy's that look amazing on them instead.

Deadly Colour no 3

Dark grey

Add a bit of white to black and you get a light black, which is dark grey.

The problem with light black or dark greys' is these colours are still heavy and strong. You can find out what greys are best for you which are much more flattering. 

Deadly Colour no 4.

Dark denim

We know that denim comes in all shades from ink navy, to faded denim to bright denim blues.

The colours of denim are so varied, they can go with all and every season. The dark denim or ink blue denim is again a type of blue that goes with black also and is too strong. 

Be sure you find out the sort of denims you can wear for your wardrobe that go with all your colours and the colour denims that are flattering to you.
