You are at the age where pink lip gloss and green eyeliner starts to look a little silly, but you still want to look energetic and glamorous. If you were smart, you have been taking care of your skin for AT LEAST the last ten years, but if not, there are some fabulous products out there that may work for you!
CORRECTIVE SERUMS!
There are hundreds (if not thousands) of products out there designed to counteract fine lines, dark spots, rosacea, and more, so do some research and be aware that you may have to spend a pretty penny to find a serum that actually works. Don't be sold by pushy sales people or flashy advertising; seek out an aesthetician who can give you some solid advice on which products to choose. Boutique skincare shops often employ these professionals and are a great resource!
HIGHLIGHTER!
Environmental stresses, oxidation, and more can start to leave your skin looking dull and lifeless, no matter how much you have moisturized and exfoliated for your entire life, so adding a luminous serum to brighten your face may just do the trick! TIP: After foundation, tap concealer under the eyes, especially in the inner corners. Then dab over laugh lines and blend. Once you have set your makeup, use a sponge to dab highlighter on your cheekbones, bridge of nose, and in the V of the upper lip, for a perfectly finished, luminous glow.

LIPSTICK!
Choosing the right lipstick can really add that finished look to your face. Avoid bright orange-based colors and trendy neons, and opt instead for blue-based lipsticks like a dusty rose or burgundy in a long-wear formula that won't slip into fine lines around the mouth. TIP: For a flawless lip that lasts all day, fill in the entire lip with a lip liner that is one shade darker than your chosen lipstick.

An ultra-shiny, professionally manicured nail will show the world that you still take great care with your appearance and that you are still a force to be reckoned with!
