YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Beauty My beauty secret weapon By Alice Robertson - February 13, 2022 They’re smart, glamorous– and 50-plus. Nine women reveal their simple tips for looking great at any age. There are some women who never look less than impeccable, no matter their age. It’s not abouta full face of make-up, good genes or expensive treatments. It’s that enigmatic glamour you can’t pinpoint– why does she look so good? Their secret weapons are simple tips we can all use, and they are more down-to-earth than you might expect… GLOSSY NAILS Ruby Hammer, 60, make-up artist ‘I regularly treat myself to a manicure and pedicure. I work with my hands, so the regular practice of a mani makes me feel groomed, polished and ready for anything. Lots of people neglect their feet in the winter but I love to get pedicures all year round and it means my feet require less maintenance come sandal season. A mani/pedi with my tools, handled by a professional, is the ultimate treat for me. A deep ruby red is my signature polish.’ GROOMED BROWS Liz Earle, 58, beauty entrepreneur ‘Brows and lashes make all the difference. I’m never without a jet-black mascara and I tint my eyebrows using a dark brown moustache dye to hide the greys.’ A ROOT TOUCH-UP Bobbi Brown, 64, founder of Jones Road ‘Dyeing my hair is my beauty non-negotiable. I’ve been grey since I was 25, so I colour it every two weeks at a local salon. I wash it almost every day, too, because I exercise. Then I get it blow-dried probably three times a week and I always feel so much better after that. I would love to be able to curl my own hair, though, to get a wave. I just can’t figure it out!’ A SLICK OF LIPSTICK Janet Ellis, 66, television presenter and author ‘In the novel I’m writing, one of the characters is asked what she never leaves home without. “Lipstick,” she replies. They say you should write what you know– and that’s me right there. Sometimes I don’t even leave a room without a slick of lipstick. Always an orange-pink red, and no particular brand – I’m easily seduced. It is an essential, mood-boosting finishing touch.’ GREAT MOISTURISER Linda Wright, 73, model ‘I am a no-make-up kind of girl. On the other hand, I am guilty of spending far too much on creams, oils, serums and masks. It boils down to feeling good. If my skin feels healthy and I have a moisturised glow about me, then I’m ready to go. I have consistently moisturised my skin since early adulthood. I may have age spots from the no-sunscreen approach of my youth in the harsh Texas sun, but I’ve warded off the deep wrinkles that come with weather exposure simply by regularly moisturising. The one and only feel-good item that I’ve never swayed from is Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey Body Crème. It makes me feel my day can’t go wrong as soon as I slather it on.’ WEEKLY BLOW-DRIES Barbara Taylor Bradford OBE, 88, novelist ‘The state of my hair affects my entire psyche. If it is perfect, I am lifted, confident and content. If it just doesn’t look right, I can get quite irritable. Our hair is an instant statement of who we are and how we care about ourselves. I go twice a week to the hairdresser. It has always CLEVER CONCEALER Jane Seymour, 70, actress ‘Along with a good moisturiser, my must-have is Clé de PeauBeauté concealer. I’m a long-time fan of the product and using it makes me look less tired, plus it covers the flaws in my complexion.’ A CLEANSING HAMMAM Alex Bruni, 64, model ‘I regard regular visits to a hammam – once or twice a month – as essential. It’s deep cleansing and good for the face as well as the entire body. I like going alone for a meditative experience. I scrub myself of all my impurities but I also leave behind my worries and any unpleasantness I might have been experiencing. I come out of there ready to start anew. Sheer bliss!’ FRESH HAIR Kelly Hoppen, 62, interior designer ‘Taking care of my hair is a priority – it has to feel freshly washed. And getting my nails done every ten days keeps them looking neat. Product-wise, I can’t live without Rodial Diamond Concealer; it’s the perfect base and isn’t too heavy.’ RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR You could get paid to test Liberty’ s Beauty Advent Calendar People are obsessed with this Revlon hair drying tool A new drop of Boots Star Gifts has landed for Christmas 2022 Popular in Beauty People are seriously impressed with Primark’ s £8 skinny curling tongs December 16, 2019 Boots is giving away free lipsticks to celebrate the launch of January 23, 2020 This long-lasting eyebrow product is getting rave reviews and is just June 21, 2021 These Liz Earle gift sets are on sale just in time March 5, 2020 WIN A Kiehl’ s skincare heroes bundle worth £104 July 24, 2020 Cult skincare brand Sunday Riley is branching out into hair products April 24, 2020 Superdrug is holding a huge BOGOF sale on all cosmetics for May 28, 2020 Your salon could charge you extra for overgrown roots and bad June 25, 2020 Facial steamers Why searches for this beauty gadget were up 400 July 10, 2020 Lush subscription boxes have arrived and they contain exclusive new products August 3, 2020 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
