[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot wear foundation; it makes me look like a clown. At 45, I have good skin and high coloring, but I do look best with lip stick (or tinted balm) and my eyelashes curled with a little mascara. [/quote]

22:22 here.  Although I'm older than you, I have no doubt we were both taught to apply foundation the same way and, yes, we look like clowns now.  TikTok has taught me so much about makeup for older women.  
-We usually need a shade darker than what we wore in our youth or even what currently 'matches' our jaw/neck/etc.  
-We shouldn't apply the same color all over our faces - our skin tone is supposed to vary and different parts of the face need a different 'treatment'.
-Blush/contour, if you wear it, needs to go higher on our cheeks than it used to
-Undereye concealer shouldn't be as light as it used to be (draws more attention to the bags/circles)
-Application of products is SO much different know. I never used a brush or sponge in my youth!

It's no wonder I always thought I looked artificial wearing makeup.  I pick and choose where on my face I apply foundation and like how it looks a lot better now.
