On Wednesday night I went along to the natural history museum in South Kensington for the opening night of London Fashion Weekend.We sat down in our front row seats eager to see what the catwalk would offer but of course it was running late, so I found myself looking around at all the guests.
The majority of them were, as you can imagine, wannabe fashionistas wearing all their best clothes for what was probably the highlight of their year. The make-up was thick and plentiful with a variety of different looks available for me to observe.
Sitting across the catwalk from me were a mother and her daughter. The mother looked absolutely fantastic, she must have been in her early fifties and had dramatically dark hair which was elegantly swept back from her face, the face itself was exquisite.
As I sat staring at this wonderful looking woman I decided that she was probably not English, her skin tone was too olive and her fashion sense too continental. She had dark eyes which she had made up using soft browns, black would have been unforgiving on her. Her eyebrows were beautifully shaped and a soft pencil may well have been used for precision.
What really stood out though was the deep shade of red lipstick she was wearing. Her lips were so full and perfect, it reminded me how glamourous women can be at that age and how no woman should ever give up taking pride in their appearance.
To create the Hollywood glamour red lips use a good lip liner for definition and a look that lasts. A matt red is better than a shiny one in this case, Chanel do the best shades. A deep red is better for anyone over fourty, some like to call it blue-red.
GLAMOUR HAS NO AGE LIMIT
