What lipstick colors should be avoided by women over 40: they "add" years

The perfect shade of lipstick is determined by a harmonious combination of color and light, but if a certain color boosts your confidence, don't hesitate to use it.

The first step to finding the perfect shade is to consider your natural skin tone, whether warm, cool, or neutral. For example, light shades of lipstick do not enhance or add warmth to your face, they can make you look "sickly and unwell," writes OBOZ.UA.

Women over 40 who want to add "radiance or youthfulness" to their appearance should avoid these colors, as they are taboo at this age, according to experts. Cool undertones are well complemented by plum, light berry, and pink tones.

Lipstick isn't the only thing to consider for those who want to look younger with makeup. With age, lips become thinner, collagen production decreases, and the muscles around the mouth lose a little strength.

But there are several ways to make your lips look better. To make your lips look fuller when applying lipstick, a primer will help stop the product from spreading above the lip line.

Applying concealer around the outer edge of your lips can also help them look less thin - remember to blend it in.

Combining two different shades of lipstick - a little darker on the outer edges and lighter in the center - is a quick way to add depth and volume to aged lips. Adding a little highlighter or gloss in the center creates a fuller look.
