Make People Seem Older Than They Are With 40 Fashion Mistakes

Goth Lips

As soon as fall and winter come around, we can expect to see more people sporting dark, bold lipstick shades. That’s undeniably chic, but it may not be advisable for certain older women. You see, aging not only affects our skin but our lips as well. As we grow older, our lips tend to become paler and thinner, making them more vulnerable to the harsh effects of dark-colored lipsticks.

As much as we want to join in on the seasonal trend, we have to consider the possible consequences. Dark lipsticks tend to dry out the lips, making them look chapped and flaky. And for those with fine lines and wrinkles on their lips, these dark shades can emphasize these imperfections even more.
