As beauty director for Glamour and senior editor at Instyle, she’s had demonstrations on more than 100 fashion and beauty segments on NBC’s Today Show. Her new book just out the beginning of this new year How Not to Look Old is chock full of wonderful beauty and fashion tips. So if your other new year resolutions have faltered it’s not too late to read on this gal’s experiences. Here are some of Charla’s tips: It’s always important for women to pay attention to the way they look. Looking good gives women confidence. Face it, if you look gray and dated, if you don’t feel good about yourself, it will affect your personal as well as your professional life. This book helps women over 40 find their own personal style. Some of the most common traps women over 40 fall into is wearing lipstick that is too dark. Lip liner that is darker than the lip color has to go. Also, heavy dark eyeliner, acrylic nails, and dressing like you’re a teenager are definite no-nos. The one thing a woman could do today to look younger is have her eyebrows shaped. It lifts up your entire face and can make such a difference. It’s like an instant face lift. That gal has some great ideas. As for personalizing your face care and make-up routine, go visit Paula as A Matter of Face, right here in the North End, 425 Hanover St. Her next Beauty Brunch will be Sunday, February 10, from 11-12.
