Remember that post a while back, the one where that guy from New Zealand was going to wear 6 meters of hair extensions for 6 weeks? Well, he’s managed to do it, and the record is officially his. We’re still waiting on more details and we’ll post them here as they come.
Here’s a handy rule if you want to be a boomer babe! For heavens sakes, GO EASY ON THE MAKE-UP. As our hair lightens and begins to go grey, our eyebrows also lighten, our skin pales and we start to look washed out.
Many boomer babes try to compensate by piling on the make up. We think that bright lipstick, lots of blush, tons of eye shadow, and dark eyeliner will restore our youth. But, bright make-up after 40 will make you look like a clown or female impersonator!
1. Avoid Heavy Foundation
Since your skin dries and dulls as it ages, it’s best to switch to a dewier look. Trade in your heavy matte foundation, which gives you that mask look, for a tinted moisturizer.
If you want more coverage try, mixing your foundation with some moisturizer to thin it out, or mix your foundation with a tinted moisturizer. You may also want to check out ‘light reflecting foundations’ especially created for over 40 skin because they reflect light off those little wrinkles.
2. Put away the Powder
Too much powder can make you dry and cakey. If you must use powder because you have oily skin, use loose powder in the T-zone, only.
3. Switch Your Blush
Powder Blush is heavy looking on mature lined skin. Instead try a cream blush. It’s more natural looking and will make you look vibrant.
4. Examine your Eye Shadows
If you are over 40 be careful with shimmering shadows. Too much sparkle accentuates creepy eyelids. Also avoid too much bright color on your eyes. Neutral colored eye shadows- beiges, browns, creams, grays, taupes, will show off your eyes instead of your eyelids.
5. Don’t let Eyeliner Overpower
Don’t use black…too harsh. Instead, try dark brown and then blend well with a brown powder. Best way to apply it is as close to the eyelash as possible, dotting between lashes and then smoothing out the line, or even better just under your upper lashes. Your eyes will appear much bigger.
6. Baby your Brows
Your eyebrows create a beautiful frame to showcase your eyes so don’t neglect them as you age. Be sure to keep them in good shape so they don’t get scraggly. After 40 many women tend to let the brow go pale and darken the lips at this stage, when in fact you should darken the brows so they frame your eyes and lighten up the lips.
7. Lighten Your Lips
Soften lips with pinks, corals, light browns, nothing too dark or too bright or there will be too much contrast between your lips, skin and hair. Too much contrast makes you look hard.
8. Use a Light Hand with Lip Liner
Good idea to use a liner to prevent lip bleed If you are over 40, but keep it soft in color and application. You should not be able to tell you have it on.
9. Banish Pasty Face
The older we get the paler we get and that old lady look starts to kick in. To avoid this try using a very light bronzer to finish off your look and give your skin a youthful sun kissed glow. To apply: Hold your bronzing brush at your temple and round it down in a sweeping motion to your cheekbone (creating a backwards c motion). From your cheekbone, round it down in a sweeping motion to just below the jaw line (creating another backwards c). Repeat on the other side. That’s all you need to do to look Fabulous after 40!

Hair extensions are a hot trend with all women. The intrigue is sparked by the convenience and aesthetic of owning one or more hair extension pieces. Like purchasing a wig, owning hair extensions provides the opportunity to change your look with ease without the hassle or the expense of attending professional salons.
Types of hair extensions
Clip-on extensions are the most popular form of extensions. They are easy to use and are not harmful to your own hair. You can choose from synthetic hair extensions or natural hair extensions.Hair extensions are now one of the most sought after ‘must have’ beauty accessories around and if you are anything like me and do not want to have to wait and grow your own hair, hair extensions are great because they allow you to have long hair in an instant. This means you can have your own hair cut very short but by adding some hair extensions it will look as though you have very long hair.
To start you have to understand what hair extensions are. Hair extensions are strips of real human hair. The strips of hair come in a package and they can be attached via different methods. Some people sew it in, some glue and some use methods such as fusion or Clip-in. Since hair extensions are made from human hair it can be styled like real hair. That means you can wash it, style it , curl it or do any other style that is possible. Hair extensions can last up to 6 months to a year, depending on the type of hair that you receive.
Hair Extensions can also give your hair volume, length, highlights, lowlights and texture instantly. A tiny attachment piece is placed 1/4″ away from the scalp and human hair is blended to match a clients color. Hair extensions are made from a range of human and synthetic fibers.
Human hair extensions are available in two basic formats — strands and wefts. The strands format involves adding small sections of hair to your existing hair. Wefts are large clumps of hair attached at the top. Human hair extensions can be applied in a variety of ways. One popular method is to sew the extensions into small cornrows. Professionals will often sew strands with subtle color variations — this tends to give the extensions a more natural look. Hair extensions can also be weaved, braided, fused, clamped, or glued.
Hair extensions can be pricey, ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars—again depending on the method and the quality of hair. Generally speaking, the higher the price of the hair, the higher the quality. Although you should be aware that the human hair industry is not regulated and it is hard to verify quality in some cases.
Hair extensions are here to stay. Women will always want to use fake hair to ensure that their beauty is maintained. Using these extensions is another way that they achieve this. While it is very popular, there are still different ways to attach the hair. The hair can be attached either as a Clip-in or through fusion. In the end extensions make a woman look good.
