How to get the look…

 

During your teenage years your youthful skin is plump and firm. The only problem is that your hormones are surging which can often cause an excess of oil in the skin and this can lead to spots and outbreaks. If you do suffer from problem skin try Dermalogica's Special Clearing Booster, as it helps to calm irritated skin and promote healing. 

Experiment freely with make-up during your teenage years. This is a great time to try new looks and keep up with high fashion trends if you want to. Opt for an oil-free concealer or foundation, as this will work best with your skin at the moment. If you suffer from blemishes then use one that is a close match to your skin tone to gently cover them. Use a concealer brush to apply the product to the spot and then dust with a finishing powder.

Glitter pencils and eyeshadows can create a fun and youthful look; try using TIGI's Bed Head Cosmetics. Keep colour light and sheer and avoid heavy colours on your eyes and lips, as this can look too harsh at your age.

Finally be careful not to overload your face with products. Choose to highlight either your eyes or lips but don't go for a strong look on both.

In your twenties your skin cell turnover starts to slow and by your late twenties you may start to notice fine lines around your eyes and mouth. It's important to have developed a good skincare routine by now.  Dermalogica offer an excellent array of prescriptive cleansers, toners, moisturisers and treatments that help to nourish the skin and tackle any issues that your complexion may be suffering from.

In addition, always make sure that you use a sun protection cream to help prevent damage and aging to the skin. Many face creams now have a built in SPF but if yours doesn't be sure to use a separate sunscreen.

This is still a time to have fun with your look. Go for full on glamour or show your skin off to it's maximum as it's looking it's best! Use a bronzing powder or gel to give you a healthy glow and warm up the skin. Apply to the apples of your cheeks, bridge of your nose, chin and neck areas. This will create a natural look, as it's where the sun would normally highlight your skin. Next, apply a blusher to add a boost of colour!

Thirties

How to get the look…

In your early thirties loss of muscle tone and dehydration start to cause fine lines and wrinkles on the face particularly where the skin is at its thinnest around the mouth and eyes. Opt for serums and masks that will help to nurture and hydrate the skin and don't forget to start using an eye cream in the morning and evening.

Complexions start to lack natural lustre in your mid thirties. It's an important time to make sure that you care for your skin, stop smoking and use a good sun protection if you don't already.

In your thirties you should know your skin and have a good understanding of which features you want to highlight and those that you'd rather hide! We also understand that this is a busy time of your life. Whether you have a full time career, a family or you're trying to juggle both we know that there are many demands on your time at this point in your life. It's therefore important to get a beauty and make-up routine that are simple and effective.

A basic, simple look requires only a few steps and products. Start by applying a concealer under your eyes to create a fresh, bright-eyed look. Next, apply a foundation or tinted moisturiser and set with a loose powder. Apply blusher to the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards. Sweep a light eyeshadow over the eye socket. Define brows using a shadow or pencil. Apply mascara. Lastly, apply a coat of lipstick to your lips before you're ready to go!

Continued loss of muscle tone and dehydration will have caused a deepening of lines around the eyes, eyelids, mouth and neck. Pigmentation marks such as liver spots and an increase and deepening of freckles may also be noticeable.

Try using a corrector followed by a yellow-based concealer and foundation to correct dark tones around and under the eyes. The same method can also be used to cover brown spots.

Use a liquid foundation as the base for your make-up. This will help moisturise and hydrate the skin, whilst also providing good coverage and a dewy finish. Add earthy tones to your eyes and try using sheer colours on your lips to freshen the look.

Further dehydration and collagen loss causes the skin to lose elasticity and you will notice sagging, especially around the eye and neck area. Mature skin requires more moisture.  Dermalogica and  Decleor both have great ranges of products that are specifically dedicated to plumping up older skin and reducing the signs of fine lines and wrinkles.

Be careful not to overload your face with make-up, as too much can make you look older rather than younger. Remember the age old saying, 'less is more'!

Skin lacks lustre and wrinkles become more apparent in our sixties. The lack of moisture in the skin makes it feel noticeably drier. 

Powder based products can sometimes be less forgiving to older skin. Instead try using cream based blushers and eye shadows that are easier to blend. Pink blushers are a very good choice and compliment and help to give a healthy tint of colour to pale skin. Remember though don't use colours that will be harsh against your skin. Instead of wearing a black mascara, opt for brown. 

To finish off your look, try using a creamy lip liner and pencil that are less forgiving and help to prevent feathering.
  1. Dermaologica Super Rich Repair - Replenish moisture in dry and aging skin with this fantasically rich and nourishing moisturiser. 
  2. Bed Head Cosmetics Big Fat Fun Lip Liner - Help keep your lipstick in place for longer with one of these BIG Fat Fun Lip Liners.  Designed to shape and define your lips that add the perfect finishing touch to your make-up regime.
