Lisa’s top 5 anti-aging makeup tips:

• Get a good skin care routine in place and always thoroughly cleanse your skin at the end of the day. Exfoliators and glycolic peels are especially good for mature skin, as it produces new cells at a much slower rate. They will freshen up a dull complexion and create a lovely smooth canvas for make-up.
  Recommended product: Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant

• Don’t overload your face with foundation thinking that you can paper over the cracks and imperfections. This will only draw attention to them and add years to your face. Instead opt for minimal, sheer foundation that contains ‘optical blurrers’ (light diffusing particles).

• More mature skin can appear sallow and dull, so make blusher your friend. If you have dry skin, opt for a creme blusher in a lovely soft rosy pink or apricot. Blend this well over the apples of the cheeks and it will instantly take years off.

• When it comes to lips, avoid overly, dark colours and pale washed out nudes. Theses colours will make lips appear thinner and drain the complexion making them very aging. Stick to mid-tones in flattering rose pinks, tawny peaches and fresh apricots. Texture is also important as you age. Very matt lipsticks can make lips appear dry and dull whilst overly sticky glosses can seep into fine lines. Sheer lipsticks, moisturising lip stains and creamy lipsticks are the way to go as they impart colour with a dewy freshness that’s flattering.

• Sparse eyebrows are very aging so invest in a good eyebrow pencil in the correct shade for you. Aim to thicken brows and fill in gaps using small feathery strokes to create the illusion of more hair. Never draw a solid line.
