Do you have any advice for formal, evening makeup, nails, and hair for 45-yr. old, petite slender woman?

I am a style consultant and a make up artist I hope my tips help:

Make up:

Its best to go with the natural look.

This system of applying makeup for a natural look is fast and easy when you get the hang of it.

Steps:

1. Understand that a 'natural' look is one that uses colors that are right for your skin tone. How much you use, and where, depends on your personal style.

2. Make sure your concealer is yellow in tone since it mutes imperfections without adding color, giving your skin a natural look.

3. Apply foundation that matches your skin tone. The right foundation will seem to disappear on your face. If you are African-American, it's a good idea to have light, medium and dark shades of your foundation to allow for different gradations of color on different parts of your face.

4. Apply eye makeup in earthy tones'beige, brown, gold or plum for shadows and brown and charcoal gray for liner and mascara. Skip liner or shadow entirely if you want to keep makeup light.

5. Choose a blush color that is close to the color of your cheeks after you've exercised.

Tips:

Remember to clean and moisturize your face first.

Choose brighter or darker tones for a stronger, more made-up look.

Intensify your natural makeup for evening. Instead of brown, for example, go for charcoal around the eyes. 'Pop' blush with a brighter color over your usual one. Make lips brighter, darker or more shimmery.

Warnings:

Don't skimp on makeup tools. Better tools make applying makeup easier and faster.

The eyes wear any color just not bright white.

Nails:

The main thing is to have nails and hangnails intact. Make sure they are no hangnails, and remove old nail polish. You can go with alot of colors, but I like to go with something not to dark since its still warm out, and something that you can wear for the next couple days. Any color between clear nail polish to pink.

Hair

Since you have a short bob. Just add shine.

I would focus on the eyes, using a smokey-type look. Perhaps a nice golden-brown, or mauve shadow. I always put my shadow on after I line my lids; it gives them a nice, soft look. Be sure to do your brows as well, as they frame your face. Or have them done professionally.

Older women need moisturizers! Light, moist make-up and a more natural look will be most attractive. Also, if you focus on the eyes, make the lips paler (no reds). I like those lip-sticks that stay on for 8 hours.

You can really make your "bob" a lot fuller with a soy-bean pomade. Use only a little bit and pull it away from your face a bit for an evening look. have fun!

My suggestion is that you should go and have a cosmetic counter in a department store do a makeup for you. It is hard to picture how you look and what is best for your face.

makeup: black mascara, your normal foundation, possible black eyeliner, for your eye shadow, use a creamy beige color, i think it would look really good with your eye color. i personally hate messing with blush, but if it floats your boat

nails: a cream color that matches your eye shadow

hair: curls!!! you cant go wrong with curls!!! curls with bobby pins holding it out of your face

good luck!!
