Go crazy with colour, add shimmer and glitter. At this age you can get away with almost anything.
Choose rosy pink lip stains and flavoured lip balms.
Oil free foundations or sheer tints will best suit hormonal, combination skins. Use antibacterial concealers on blemishes to help heal and camouflage.
20's:
Your skin is still supple and radiant in your 20's so now is the time to be experimental with your look.
Skin can be oily at this age, so opt for a light oil control formula foundation.
Work it ... you can pull off a bright eye, pass on the black eyeliner and pop your eyes with an electiric hue. Same goes for lips, try fuschia or orange. Gloss is also a girls best friend in your twenties. Think fresh and fabulous.
Not keen on colour? Get back to black with a classic liquid liner, voluminous lashes, groomed brows and vibrant red lip.
Tip: Remove all traces of makeup at night and remember the single most preventable cause of aging is over expoure to the sun, now is the time to use SPF. If you must - fake it, don't bake it!
30's:
Time to refine your look as you begin to notice the first signs of ageing, expression lines begin to show around the eyes, cell regeneration is slowing down and the skin may not look as fresh and plump so creating a radiant base is primary.
Using a primer will make a big difference to how foundation sits on your skin.
Cream to pwder or hydrating foundations make for a great base.
If your lashes are beginning to thin use a lash primer and plump them with volumizing mascara.
The eyelash curler should become your second best friend.
Add some bronzer to warm and lift the skin as well.
A classic red, opaque lipstick is a perfect choice for a woman in her 30's.
Warm browns and sublte smoky eye colour, light eyeliner and several coats of mascara comliment a strong lip colour without overpowering it.
Now is the time to find a style that is easy to achieve, looks polished and feels like you.
40's
You may notice that your skin begins to thin and sag due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin.
Fight dullness with creamy, illuminating foundations. The radiant enhancing ingredients will help to brighten the skin.
Soften wrinkles by using light reflective concealer in a shade lighter than your natural skin tone under the eyes, under the brow bone, down the bridge of the nose and along the cheekbone to lift and contour the face.
As skin ages, lip colour fades. Natural lips are best teamed with a subtle smoky, eye.
Go beyond the pale and wear a bright yet sheer lipstick but always prime the lip area first and use a lip pencil to give a polished finish and to help prevent the colour from bleeding.
Berry shades are flattering to most skin tones and bets teamed with neutral, defined eyes.
Start to add some more colour to the cheek area as skin starts to lose tone, add a fake sun kissed look with a light dusting of bronzer on cheeks and chin.
Keep eye colour above the eye, going below can create the illusion of dark shadows. Define brows.
Lash & Eye brow tinting will add definition for those with fair hair.
50's and beyond:
Gravity takes hold and you start to notice the skin drooping and more definite lines begin to show.
At this age it is best to define your best features and bring back your natural radiance and glow.
Easy does it, use anti aging and lifting foundations which add luminosity to the skin. Heavy foundations can sink into wrinkles and make them look more obvious.
Accentuate eyes by opening them up with several coats of mascara to the top lashes.
If the lid is becoming heavy and droopy use a dark brown or matte grey/black eyeshadow on the outer corners and along the socket line to push the heavyness back.
Avoid high shimmer eye shadows as they will settle in lines and only highlight them.
Try a flush of colour to the apples of the cheeks for a youthful flush of colour.
Avoid heavy powders as it can look cakey and aging but add a flattering glow to the skin with a dusting of finely milled shimmer powder, across face, neck and decolletage.
Cream and matte lipsticks should be worn with confidence, be careful to avaoid dark tones as they can make the lips appear smaller.
Expert tip: A finely milled natural mineral powder foundation creates a luminous coverage for all skin types at any age as well as providing a natural SPF.
Remember, you are only as old as you look!
