A Fall Beauty Look for Women Over 40 (and a Giveaway!)

Beauty, Skin Care | 51 comments

Want a fall beauty look for women over 40?  Amy Oresman, Neutrogena brand Ambassador and celebrity makeup artist created this look for fall using Neutrogena products. But first skin prep is very important, especially when we’re no longer in our 20’s and our skin may need some coaxing into looking its best.

Fall Beauty Trends Facechart

 

Amy suggests for skin prep

  • Start with a blank canvas of clean, moisturized skin. Make sure your moisturizer has an SPF of at least 30 to combat day-to-day sun rays. Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Hydrating Cleanser cleanses the skin while keeping its moisture barrier in-tact.
  • Always wear a primer to smooth fine lines. A primer helps ensure makeup goes on smoothly and will stay put, even during the busiest of days. Try Neutrogena Healthy Skin Primer because it instantly evens and brightens skin, and optical modifiers help minimize the look of imperfections all day.

For color, Amy likes using coppery cat eyes and wine hued lips for a beautiful fall look

  • The lips can be one of your best assets, so treat them right! Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Sticks instantly moisturize lips, while continuously conditioning them so they are softer and smoother in just three days. It is also designed to easily line the arches of your lips to help avoid feathering
  • According to a recent Neutrogena study, 60% of men in the Midwest notice a woman’s eyes first! Give them something to notice with Neutrogena Healthy Lengths Mascara, which delivers a lash lengthening formula for lashes that look 100% longer. Use a neutral eye liner that contrasts against your eye color to make your eyes pop. For example, a blue-eyed woman should try Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Liner in Spiced Chocolate.

This contest is now closed. Congrats to winners Pat and Michele!

    love Neutrogena!

  20. Mamavalveeta03 on October 19, 2013 at 11:00 pm

    I feel like Neutrogena has really “stepped up their game” when it comes to makeup, even though they’ve always been a leader in skin care!

  21. Lisandra Monsanto on October 19, 2013 at 11:32 pm

    I would love to win these amazing products from Neutrogena. <3

  23. Cheryl Laner on October 20, 2013 at 12:42 am

    Thank you for all of the suggestions, I very much appreciate them and it’s true how much the skin does indeed change over the years! The one thing that has NOT changed for me is the cleansing of my skin, I ALWAYS do and ALWAYS have used a cleanser on my face, even in my late teens! Thank GOD for that! And thank you for the giveaway! 😀

  24. Nicki on October 20, 2013 at 9:57 am

    Nicki Mooring-thanks for the chance to win!

  25. Liz on October 20, 2013 at 10:16 am

    This sounds like a truly simple and elegant day look for fall. I’ve tried the lip crayon in other colors and it’s nice and hydrating, with sheer but buildable color. Would love to try some other Neutrogena products!
