Aging has a wonderful beauty and we should have respect for that.

–Eartha Kitt

Let’s face it: the aging process can impact your self-esteem and compromise your ability to put your best face forward. As women age, they look for help in applying makeup to achieve a more natural and bright look. Mature Makeup Applications Made Simple is specially written for the women who want to transform their appearance and enhance their innate beauty.

By understanding how years of experience and wisdom is reflected in our face, Jennifer Stepanik teaches us how to embrace those memories, appreciate the life we’ve lived, and learn how to accentuate our finest facial features, while hiding the illusive passage of time. It’s the right application of makeup–not simply the uses of anti-aging skincare–that will help you look your youthful best.

This step-by-step, easy to understand guide is filled with numerous, complementary images and visuals. Stepanik gives you a fundamental course in all things makeup–from preparing your skin to the final application. It’s an all-inclusive book designed to help you achieve whatever look you are going for–fresh, original or iconic. There is even a short, yet fascinating, history of makeup.

In Mature Makeup Applications Made Simple, a few of the things you will learn about are:

• Toning, cleansing, moisturizing and exfoliation

• Makeup shelf life, ingredients, and types of bristles and brushes

• Makeup application sequencing, with before and after examples

• The application of foundation, types of foundations, concealer, and blush

• The tools and application of contouring

• Lipstick, preparing lips, and using skin tone palettes to pick the right colour

• Everything for the eyes: mascara, false eyelashes, eyelash extensions, eye shadow, eyeliner, and eyebrows

• And so much more …

If you’ve been hiding in the shadows, it’s time to make your debut and do it right with Stepanik’s flawless makeup methods. This is the one book that every mature woman needs to have in order to be the most attractive best self that they can be.

Stepanik’s gift lies in providing spot-on techniques, tips and tutorials, with supporting visuals that will enable anyone to transform their appearance, while emphasizing and enhancing the inner and outer beauty they already possess.

Your makeup should never precede you, but walk with you.
