26 Incredible Makeup and Beauty Tips For Women Over 40

2. For a youthful look. Ditch the powder.

A classic mistake when applying makeup is to stick to old habits. Powder was a main go-to in our teens and early 20s (and can also be connected to the fashion of the decade) but as we age, powder can actually be a huge hindrance. Benefits in our youth included reducing oil (natural in younger skin) and helping to ‘set’ makeup ahead of nights on the town.
