WARMING UP
Skin becomes paler with age. Applying
bronzer to cheeks, nose and chin (the
spots where sun would hit your face) is a
tried and tested tip for looking younger.
If you don’t want to look sun-kissed, use
a powder that will give a healthy glow
and help to neutralise redness. Chanel’s
Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder
($80) adds subtle warmth and comes in
fi ve shades to suit most skins.HOLD THE SHINE
Too much face powder can make the
skin look crepey. To give hot-weather
shine the fl ick and keep your foundation
in place, turn to a translucent, light-
diffusing powder, such as Almay Smart
Shade Loose Powder ($26).EYES AHEAD
Creamy or metallic shadow can highlight
wrinkles. Instead, apply a matt shadow
in the socket, then sweep a satin-textured
eyeshadow over the centre of the lids.Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy
Sculpting Eyeshadow 5-Color Palette in
Provocative Petal ($90), with shades
from cream to espresso, is fl attering on
most skins. It pays to splurge on quality
mascara: Lancôme’s Grandiôse ($54)
debuts a patent-pending swan-neck
wand that extends and lifts every lash.BLUSHING BEAUTY
Anyone over 30 with dry skin should
use cream blush, not powder. It adds
radiance and creates a ‘lifted’ look when
applied to the highest point of the
cheekbones. Clinique’s Chubby Stick
Cheek Colour Balm ($42) delivers a
sweep of healthy, glowing colour.LIGHTEN THE LIPS
Easy-to-apply lip crayons offer more
precision than a gloss and last as long as
lipstick. Revlon’s ColorBurst Balm range
features hydrating lip crayons, $18 each,
in 30 colours and a choice of matt, stain
or lacquer fi nish. Mix and match. #BEHIND THE MASK
