Mistake 1
You smooth on foundation to even out your complexion, but are left with a too-dark or too-light kabuki-mask effect.
Fix: Splurge on the proper shade of foundation. Base is one of those cosmetics that you have to get exactly right. If your foundation is off at all -- too light, too dark -- the look is obvious and garish. Head to a department store counter to get the right base match. The makeup artist there can try several shades on your skin; you can then excuse yourself and check the colors in natural light. The one that you can barely see, that blends into your skin, is the one you want.
Mistake 2
You wear the same haircut for years at a time. The last time you updated was in the early '90s.
Fix: We're all for sticking to a look that suits you, but with haircuts, what works can quickly become what's outdated (think of the Rachel shag from years ago -- today, it'd look dated). But that doesn't mean you need a complete overhaul; often, a few simple layers or some shaping at the ends can yield a big effect. Pull a few pictures of styles you like from magazines. Take them to your stylist and ask how these looks can work for you; chances are, he or she has been dying to update you for years!
Mistake3
You skip moisturizer. You figure your skin tends to be oily, so why slap on more oil?
Fix: We, too, used to be in the if-my-skin-is-oily, I-don't-need-moisturizer camp. But as we age, our skin naturally becomes more parched, even if we're still showing signs of midday shine. And since moisturizers add water to the skin, not necessarily oil, they're generally safe for oilier skin (especially those marked "oil-free"). Skimping on moisturizer before applying makeup can make your cosmetics look cakey and flaky. Instead, find a moisturizer that's oil-free and wear it under your makeup. Its emollients will help your base and blush go on smoother and last longer.
Mistake 4
Concealer? You say no thanks. The circles under your eyes aren't that dark, are they?
