It seems that SJP is reluctant to act her age. I'm not talking about her style - this dress is goregous and she's got the body of a 15-year-old, she can wear anything she wants! No ladies, it's more about the makeup.
When one reaches a certain age, it's important to change your look in a different direction so that it continues to be flattering. To suit you. To project an image that is softer, that doesn't age and isn't too harsh. It's extremely hard to break a lifetime of beauty habits - always painting your face in the same way is both easy and addictive, so I understand for SJP that switching makeup is a big call. But it can end up taking years off your face.
Lesson # 1: Dark eyeshadow ages you. The more you apply, the more visible the lines around your eyes, the more you look like you're trying to hold onto your youth when clearly that was long ago.
SJP hasn't learned this yet. But guess who has?
Kylie, of course. Look how young and fresh-faced she looks with her barely-there makeup - yes, you can bet she's wearing some, we just can't see it. The ultimate trick in looking younger. All you need is a good base, some mascara, a rosy cheek and slick of lipgloss. The proof is in the pudding!
Kylie never fails, she's always streets ahead of other celebrities when it comes to beauty (remember that green eyeshadow in her Light Years days) and literally zooms past the competition when it comes to fashion. This outfit is a prime example: young and fresh, but somehow mature enough for a 40-year-old. Sophisticated with the satin peep toe, but on-trend with the roll up jean. Relaxed and dressy at the same time. I dare say this is the perfect outfit.
Oh Kylie, we do love you!
