Marianne Butler, 42: Photo editor

What was bothering her: "My ruddy complexion and the marionette lines around my oral fissure."

Bobbi's no-surgery solution: "Women in their 40s often complain most their peel—that it'southward looking ruddy or sallow. I tell them, 'Even if you lot've always resisted foundation, kickoff wearing it now.' Use an especially hydrating moisturizer every 24-hour interval, because it plumps upwardly the skin, so whatever lines are starting to grade volition wait less obvious. I applied a corrector under Marianne'south optics, shut to her lashes, considering at that place were some majestic shadows there, and as well around her nose, where she is especially red. And then I applied foundation over her whole face up to even out her complexion. Toning downwardly the redness around her olfactory organ and mouth definitely diminished the expect of her marionette lines. On Marianne'southward eyes, I used a sandy, neutral eyeshadow over the top lid right upwardly to the brow and a sparse application of mahogany liner on her upper chapeau. Blackness mascara adds definition to her eyes and draws attention up and away from the lines around her mouth. I used a taupe shadow to accentuate her gorgeous brows and a raspberry pink foam blush on the apples of her cheeks."

Age Spots

How to Embrace Age Spots

Bridget Thexton, 52: Senior vice president at a financial institution

What was bothering her: "The age spots on my cheeks. And the area below my brows is sagging, which is dragging down my eyes."

Bobbi'southward no-surgery solution: "Age spots are the 1 thing that you can cover with makeup, and it's a cinch. First, use a flossy corrector a little lighter than your skin tone. Over that, dot a touch of stick foundation in the same color as your peel tone. The spot volition completely disappear.

"I used a light eyeshadow in a nude color all over Bridget's lids to open up her optics. Then I practical a gel liner in indigo to bring out their beautiful color. Bridget said she never wore liner on her upper lid, only on her lower chapeau, which is the opposite of what she should be doing. Lining the upper lid will bring the focus up when you look at her; lining only the lower chapeau brings the focus down. In the crease, I used a slightly deeper shadow, a shade darker than the nude, and blended that well. I lifted the arch of her eyebrows and extended them slightly toward her temples with a taupe eyeshadow. Black mascara adds more than definition; I gave her 2 coats, starting close to the lashline and pulling out to the sides. A cream blush in powder pink gives her cheekbones a natural flush."

"I lightened up the expanse nether Avis's eyes and at the inner corners almost her nose with a cream corrector in a peach tone; on acme of that, I practical concealer in a color one shade lighter than her skin tone, and extended it a bit onto her upper lid. I used a tawny eyeshadow to brighten the upper lid fifty-fifty more, and in the crease, a brown shadow with a hint of shimmer to really bring the focus to her eyes. Though I used a black gel eyeliner, I kept the line very minimal and then that it only added definition.

A tawny cream blush placed high on the apples of her cheeks emphasizes her cheekbones, and a sheer, soft lipcolor doesn't distract attention from her eyes and cheeks equally a darker color would.

"Kathryn could effort a very light dusting of bronzer on her lower jaw and cervix in club to play down the slight sagging there. She should be sure to use a big, fluffy brush, which will diffuse the pulverization; if it seems difficult to blend, she'll know that she'due south using too much."
