7 Great Ways to Enhance Your Looks Over 35.


Well none of us want to feel that we are getting older we want to believe that we are going to keep our youthful good looks for ever, however the facts are that everything will eventually go south. But ladies it is not all doom and gloom. Take heart in the fact that you can look great at 40+. Look at Madonna, Demi Moore, and Helen Miriam.
"Yes but they have money", I hear you say. Well that cannot be denied they are without doubt wealthy beyond the average persons wildest dreams however what I would say to that is it doesn't take money to have style.
There are a few simple rules that you have to follow as a more mature lady and here they are:
1. Don't try to dress as though you are 20 it actually has the opposite effect of what you are trying to achieve. Have you heard the saying "Mutton dressed as lamb".
2.. Try where ever possible to wear good quality clothes. When you get older it really does add an air of class to you when you are wearing nice quality clothes and accessories. Presumably by 40 you will be earning a lot more money than most 20 year olds, so you can afford to buy the items they can only dream about, which will make you look just as trendy but with a much more classy effect. Of course if you don't have the budget then a great way to acquire the better quality clothes is to either shop in the charity shops where you can pick up some really fantastic bargains or save up and instead of buying 10 cheap items go for one quality product.
3.. Don't forget to invest in good underwear especially if you have put on a few pounds through the years. Gok Wan has opened our eyes to the benefits of pulling it all in with some sturdy undergarm's.
4. Dye your hair As we get older the grey hairs start to peep through and on some people it can look great but on the majority of us it is extremely aging, so make sure that you choose a great colour that will flatter your skin tone and not make you look drained. Initially I suggest consulting a good hairdresser about the shade.
5. Next you need a fabulous hair cut. Many of us are so comfy with the style we had back in the day that we cling on for dear life and it can be quite an emotional thing to have a hair cut especially if you go from long to short. Believe me the best thing you can do is to have a great cut that flatters the way you're looking now. It can knock a good 10 years off you if you choose your hairdresser wisely.
6. Wear clothes that fit!I cannot stress this one enough. I know you don't want to move into the size up. It's a nightmare when you discover that you have moved up a size and you think "it's ok I won't buy a new wardrobe I'll just lose weight". But you never do! And carry on wearing clothes that are too small for you. It looks tackier and it's just not flattering sorry to be so harsh.
7. Sort out your wardrobe. You have to be ruthless so don't do this exercise by yourself you will need a loyal and truthful friend who will help you get rid of the stuff that no longer fits or are now outdated or just too young for you to wear. You can either give them to charity or you can make a bit of money at a car boot sale and get some money together for your brand new wardrobe.
Those are my 7 simple tips. If you feel that you need professional help to revamp your image it's a great idea to elicit the help of an Image consultant who can give you an unbiased view of what you should be wearing or they can help you to declutter your wardrobe.Click Here!
