I love the 1940s, where the style for women was a red lip, classic twirl hairdo, Mary Janes, skirts, and tidy jackets. Red lipstick, though, is more a challenge to pull off as you get older because it can easily make you look like a garish tramp…

She’s 72, loves a smokey eye, and has her own TV show. I’ve been doing her makeup for 10 years and she’s fabulous. What this shows is no matter what your age, you can wear this look. It can be a tad scary I’ll grant, but in the vein of the perpetual cheerleader…
