How to Conceal Wrinkles Less is more. Never has that been so true when it comes to makeup and our faces as we age. Here's some tips on the right and the wrong ways to apply foundation and powders.

Go light on the use of foundation. Most women use too much foundation in the attempt to cover up wrinkles and fine lines. This actually has the opposite effect of highlighting imperfections instead of covering them up. Use a tinted moisturizer instead and only on the parts of your face that you feel need it.

Foundation - Choose foundations or tinted moisturizers that are yellow-toned, as they tend to tone down redness or ruddy skin very well. Avoid thick foundation. Keep it sheer to avoid textures that will highlight your wrinkles instead of hiding them. If you have too many freckles or brown spots, you may use cream or gel bronzer to correct that and add some healthy glow to your skin. If you have some extra fullness around your chin, you can use foundation to conceal that problem by applying a thick line of foundation along your jaw line with a Q-tip, blurring the line with a sponge, then drawing attention upwards with a good cheek and eye makeup.

Under-eye concealer is an aging woman's worst enemy because it settles into lines. Use a creamy pen-based one. The ultimate concealer is Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Éclat. A less expensive choice is Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector. To set the concealer and make it last, use a sheer powder such as MAC's Blot Powder compact. If powder accents lines, roll a damp Q-tip over the area.

Here are simple tips to look your best as your skin ages:

1. Stop using a lip liner pencil. Instead use a stiff-bristled lip liner BRUSH. This will help your lipstick stay and prevent bleeding or feathering of the color around your lips.

2. Apply a loose translucent powder with a good quality powder brush in the morning and don't reapply during the day. Use sparingly as too much powder will actually accentuate the fine lines and wrinkles!

Lipstick has been a beauty necessity among women, it seems, as far back as the pharaohs. Cleopatra had lipstick made by crushing carmine beetles, which provided a deep red pigment to the lips. Then along came lipsticks that gave shimmering effects, by using the preadolescence in fish scales. Red lips and white faces became a fashion statement during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.

older women are more financially and mentally independent. I'm completely self-sufficient, able to pay my own phone bills. When he's not around, I'm also able to make plans for myself and I don't need to beg him to buy me expensive luxury items.

Her characterization flies in the face of what a true Cougar woman is, so much so, that one has to wonder if she acts this way at home. After all, she IS a Cougar in real life and is married to a man several years her junior.

I have heard many Cougar women on my site complain," This is NOT who we are as Cougars! What is WRONG with this picture?"
