post-its work just as well as blotting papers for when you get a little too much glow during the day. and they don't leave any gunky powder on your face.
My favourite.........those cheap brown paper towels in most public restrooms! They work great and we all have an endless supply of them.
Makeup, less is more, but for most of us, a good foundation is a miracle worker. High priced beauty products are NOT that much better than less expensive. Ask a good makeup artist. I dated a model for years, all the makeup people I met had mostly drug store brands in their cases.
For skin care, I ONLY use Isomers products. I know the woman that created the company and it's products. I've been using their products for over 5 years and my skin looks better than it did twenty years ago. I get complimented on my skin all the time.
Water, water water. Drink it. Smoking, don't do it. Sugar, eat less of it. Fresh produce and raw nuts, eat alot of them. You really are what you eat and it shows on your face dramatically.
Avoid the sun period. Big brimmed hats, long sleeves when possible, sun screen. I buy alot of men's, long sleeved white cotton dress shirts in sizes far bigger. They protect and keep me cool.
My biggest pet peeve. Women, as we age, we need to constantly assess and occasionally change our hair and makeup styles. Nothing is more pathetic than seeing a 40something woman, with long permed hair, fluffy curling ironed bangs, and blue eye shadow.........all from the 80's! What was hot and cool when we were in high school does not stay hot and cool decades later on an older body.
Hair colouring........if it doesn't show up naturally on someone's head, and your not into the goth look or trailer trash hooker playboy bunny thing....probably not a good idea. Blonde hair with dark roots, always yuck. Hair that is primarily gray, cheaply dyed red, usually ends up some odd shade of peach or pink. Spend the extra money for a professional. Really black hair looks good on very few people.
Last but not least............Low slung jeans and tight t-shirts, only look good on VERY fit bodies. On the rest of us.....yuck.

Just because you are well educated, articulate, and can use big, fancy words, properly........does not mean you are right!
