Put a wet tissue on yor face for some seconds after wearing the mineral powder. It'll make your face look natural and alive.

Definitely use moisturizer first...the cold cream seems like overkill but that lady must be super dry if it works for her. You might switch brands. I've worked with both Clinique and Merle Norman and MN has a mineral powder that actually gives you a moist looking glow (unless you are desert dry). Go into a salon and have someone do a makeover on you using their mineral powder. There's no charge and you might like it. I'm 61 and I cannot wear it because I'm still oily and it gives me too much of a "glow". Good luck with it...mineral powder is wonderful if it suits your skin.

Foundation is a base of the makeup, that it will influence the whole look. My mother (51 years old) uses Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Cream Foundation. It's work great. The price is only $4.99.

What you need is makeup created for women your age. Most makeup products are formulated for younger women and don’t cater to the special needs of aging skin. Lauren Hutton has launched her own makeup line formulated especially for women between the ages of 35 and 65 years. She believes that as women age, their faces demand different beauty products and different ways to put them on. She has come out with a whole range of beauty products with this thought in mind. You might want to give her products a try and see if they make a difference.

I recommend to use Bare Escentuals BareMinerals. If you would like to use this product and use it effectively you MUST do the following: MOISTURIZE!bare minerals will not be able to give you the moisture your face needs. Use a good moisturizer. Moisturize in the morning and at night. I recommend waiting about five minutes after moisturizing before applying bare minerals.
