''Beautiful young people are accidents of
nature, but beautiful old people are works of art'', said E.Roosevelt and I
can not agree more.
Grey hair can be youthfully gorgeous when
paired with the right makeup choices and there is no reason to panic or
give up on make-up and style after 50. Some of us go grey around 25, some even earlier and some very late around 50. It takes some time to accept this transformation and to go from colored hair to grey/silver hair. Most of us don't even like the idea of getting grey and I have to admit I am one of these persons. I am 31 and 40% of my hair is grey but I keep coloring and hiding it. As a make-up artist I get in contact also with mature women, and some of them have embraced completely the grey/silver hairstyle and this is why I decided to write about this subject. I have seen amazing, gorgeous, stylish grey hair ladies and each of them proved me that you can still be beautiful, delicate and stunning no matter your hair color or age.
In the picture you can see one of the
most beautiful and famous models ever, Carmen Dell'Orefice. The world's
oldest working model as of the Spring/Summer 2012 season.
How stunning and fabulous she looks with her grey/white hair!
Mature women can still wear make-up and color!
Make-up
is a must for grey hair, as skin is in fact also paler and lighter with age.
Grey
hair tends to drain color from the face, and your old shade may no longer work.

Silk
Effect Loose Powder is a loose, semi-transparent, face powder... a
make-up product combined with a beauty treatment. This extraordinary
loose powder is made with extremely fine ultra-micronised powders
enriched with vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and a UV filter, moisturizes
the skin and makes it extraordinarily smooth and silky. Comes in a
classy opaline box with golden lid and a great quality powder puff. My first Collistar
product and I think not the last one. This time the Italians did a great
job!
I love the box and I also love the powder, it's so soft and so
easy to work with it. If you want a natural glow and softness, this
product is divine.
Unlike
in Paris, Amsterdam shows are usually not followed by sales in
showrooms. Many clothes by Dutch designers are not even produced, but
regularly borrowed by actresses and described only in fashion magazines. Amsterdam
Fashion Week is the only fashion event that is not exclusively open to professionals, and I am so extremely happy and content with this fact as I could enjoy one of my most amazing Friday nights between amazing models, make-up artists, brilliant Dutch artists and beautiful artistic people.
Another highlight of the Fashion-Week in Amsterdam was the show of Aziz
Bekkaoui, his models down the runway wearing all black, exposing his collection of beautifully made lace dresses and
sweaters with leather lace-up sleeves, from high quality fabrics.
He is one of the Dutch designers who has at his shows and presentations, in the front row, the royal dutch family : King
Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. In other words the Dutch-Moroccan artist Aziz
Bekkaoui is the fame of the Dutch designers, and despite of all his talents and international fame he remained modest. Bekkaoui has been active in fashion for almost 20 years and he won the Amsterdam Price of Arts, which he truly deserved. Artist of the year in 2007 for innovative design, he created and designed for stage, opera and dance performances. You could
admire his creations in various museums in the inland and abroad in New York.
