I'm good with not looking like an extra from a "Hunger Games" movie.

Women of color don’t age the same way white women do, so when we are 40, we don’t typically look like we are 40. There are obviously exceptions, such as people who work outside or with their hands a lot. Hair is not really a concern for Black women and Latinas as we age. Black women continue to do cool protective styles or whatever they want and it isn’t shamed. Latinas typically have long hair forever, and it looks great.

OP here. I’m black. While black women age differently than white women, we still age. There are many common mistakes that are relevant across race like not changing ones hairstyle. Box braids down the back may look good on a 20 year old.... but not so much on most 50 year olds. Changing our markup and skincare routine is relevant also.

The only beauty mistake I see 40+ women making is forgetting themselves and self care! They are taking care of everyone else and not themselves. Other than that, who TF cares if you have grays and a few extra pounds and wear keens? I think my friends look lovely and that is because they still find clothing that makes them feel good and like to express themselves and have fulfilling jobs and lives. Happiness is the best look.

Ummmm.....black, brown, Asian, bi-racial women can wear too much make-up, not just white woman. Actually, women of all colors/races can wear too much make-up. Same with hair, outdated hair styles aren’t color/race specific. Nor or outfits. The last time I checked Botox and other cosmetic procedures aren't race specific either.

I would have to disagree there. Black and hispanic women are not getting Botox and fillers in any significant numbers unless they are celebrities. Our skin doesn't age as fast and it's just not something we worry about.

I mean, it can still be right for you. The mistake is not re-evaluating to check.

I agree with this. I think the same goes for makeup. Getting stuck on a look and not evaulating if it continues to work for you and flatter as your age. One of the worst makeup offenders:

She’s also example of the mistake of making yourself too thin. Lack of fat in your face makes you look haggard. It also really brings out wrinkles.

I agree. Me and my runner friends have great calves, but it is so hard on our faces!

[b]Running wrecks your skin worse than the sun. I don't get why women do it,

Wait, why is running itself bad for skin (aside from the sun damage from being outside)?

same question

Some people are convinced the impact and pounding from running causes facial skin to droop or look hollow. I think it’s a combo of sun and some female runners being too thin.

What’s wrong with this?

It makes your skin look monotone, older, and accentuates wrinkles and pores. Whether you use Armani or cover girl, doesn’t matter. Up close in person it doesn’t look natural or flattering but especially on older skin

NP. I don’t know this. What should we do then?

NP. Just use concealer where you need it

This is not good advice. One can use all-over foundation and it won't look monotone when properly blended and primed. Add a bit of bronzer and highlighter.

So more makeup on top of a face covered in makeup. Unless you are on stage, no or instagram modeling, no.

Hey, if you don’t know how to put on make-up, that’s cool.

Makeup all over topped with more makeup to give dimension still looks like you are covered in makeup. It doesn’t look natural to anyone within 10 feet of you and it ages you, but maybe it is a better look than your natural skin if you don’t have good skin In the first place. Not everyone does, but if you do, you will look better And younger without a full face of it.
