These Beauty Rituals Fall Flat on Older Women

5. Too-fake lashes

Fake lashes are so chic, right? Not if they look too fake, they aren't. When too long, too dark, or applied at awkward angles, fake lashes make their wearer look out of tune with the times. If lashes appeal to you and you want to wear them, have them applied by an experienced friend or consider investing in lash extensions that you can keep on for a few weeks at a time. If you have to do lashes on your own, choose your length and style carefully, avoiding the super-long and feathery styles that make you look older or downright comical.
