Recently Bobbi Brown sat down with the people at AARP to discuss beauty over 50. Since Bobbi herself is nearly 56 she gets it that we have to re-think how we do our makeup and other things in our lives to look our best. So what were some of Bobbi Brown’s Beauty tips?

RETHINK YOUR MAKEUP
- After 50, you need to control the level of moisturization and color coverage seasonally –most likely opting for more in winter, less in summer.
- Since skin tone and natural lip pigment fades with age, go more vibrant in cheek color (but keep it sheer) and brighter in lip color.
- Stay away from dark eye shadows. Instead contour with a light color on lids, a medium taupe in the crease and a dark liner at upper and lower lashlines.
- Keep eye liner wide enough to be visible when your eyes are open and lift the arch of our brows too. Together, both work as a makeup eye lift.
BEAUTY AT 50 STARTS WITH LIFESTYLE CHANGES
- Drink plenty of water to hydrate and plump up your skin.
- Eat well, exercise and get enough sleep.
- Pick healthy snacks like the fresh juices, kale chips and raw almonds.
Bobbi created this blush in Pretty Powerful Pink and with the purchase of it the full $25 will be donated to Dress for Success. You can read the whole Bobbi Brown article here.

I love Bobbi Brown and love, love that she is giving make-up tips for the 50+ gal. Way to go!
I love the information we get from Bobbi Brown. I have a question. I sweat a lot and it runs into my eye down my face. My make wears off. What would you suggestion, for this.
Whether you’re 15 or 50, always hydrate. Lots of water + a true skin regimen = youthful looking skin in the future
