Lipstick
Lipstick is the best way to finish off just about any look. One swipe of color can add so much life to your face and make you look polished. As we age, we tend to get lines around the mouth area, and you need to adopt a different lipstick application technique.
Here’s how you can apply lipstick with perfection in your 40s:

1. Exfoliate your lips well to get rid of all the dead skin, so you’re left with smooth lips.
2. Hydrate your lips using a moisturizing lip balm and let the formula absorb into your lips. Wait it out and wipe away any excess lip balm using a towel or a wipe.
3. You can add a tiny dab of concealer on your lips if they’re pigmented.
4. Use a lip liner pencil that matches your chosen color to lightly fill the mouth shape to prevent your lipstick from bleeding.
5. Apply your lipstick straight from its bullet in a single application.

Expert Tip
Don’t be afraid to try bold colors. Just because you’ve entered your 40s doesn’t mean you will need to stick to neutral shades. There’s a shade for everyone, and it all depends on your personal preferences.
