Interview any glamorous female celebrity over 40 and she will almost invariably give the same beauty tip – avoid powder in later life. It ages you, she’ll say. Looks dull, settles into wrinkles. I’m 48 and admittedly less glamorous, but I still call hogwash.
For me, powder is an essential, and shine in the wrong place can be particularly ageing. It’s all about proper placement (use a medium brush and stay away from the cheeks – some light here looks healthful) and choosing the right product.
