5 Makeup Trends Women Over 40 Shouldn't Be Afraid To Try
Written by Sumona BoseJul 01, 2020
We are big believers of bending makeup rules to suit our needs! With social media opening up a world of trendy makeup looks for women of all ages, we are seeing more women crushing makeup norms and doing their own thing. Women are more open and experimental to trying out makeup looks that would have previously been deemed ‘inappropriate’ for anyone over 40. So, if you’re someone who doesn’t like to play by the rules (makeup-wise), here are five makeup looks you shouldn’t shy away from trying.
Nobody serves internet-breaking quirky beauty looks like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! Remember her purple pout from Cannes 2016? This beauty icon is not afraid to experiment and her go-to statement-making look is a bright pop of colour on the lips.
The narrative that makeup for women over 40 should be subtle and muted does not sit well with us. We say go all out, especially with glitter. Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s glam goddess look is drop-dead gorgeous! Agree?
Matte eyeshadows are usually avoided on mature skin as they can settle in the fine lines and enhance their appearance. But switch to shocking hues of neon, candy or fruity hues for a drool-worthy look. A major trend of 2020, the shock shadows will be perfect to wear on days when you need to amp up your look.
From cat-eye to double winged and extended liners, quirky eyeliners do not need to be off the table after 40. They are a fun way of showcasing your creativity and bound to extract a compliment or two.
05. Vibrant underliners
Vibrant underliners add depth to your eye makeup, make you look more bright-eyed and make a statement by themselves.
