We often say that aging gracefully is a woman's lifelong pursuit, but this does not mean that we should deliberately avoid the traces left by the years, but accept it calmly and live in harmony with it.
However, some women will gradually give up self-management because of age, and feel that they don't need to bother to dress up when they get older, and this laissez-faire attitude will not only aggravate the sense of age, but also lose that unique temperament and charm.
Time does not only bring about the aging of the face, it also gives us maturity and wisdom, and if used properly, we can taste the beauty beyond age.
Just like the 85-year-old grandmother Wu Yanshu, although she can see the traces of the years on her body, what is shown in her body is the elegance after the precipitation of the years.
1. Wu Yanshu's beauty is not affected by age, and her elegance is amazing
>> Young vs Old
It is said that appearance is innate, and temperament depends on cultivation, which also shows to a certain extent that the face is fleeting, and the focus of the real "hardcore" anti-aging is temperament.
Just like Wu Yanshu, her appearance when she was young was not top-notch, she looked delicate and introverted, and she had the temperament of a lady. And when she is old, although her face is full of wrinkles and silver hair replaces black hair, her temperament of not being surprised and acting in a measured manner has made her a real "beauty of the years"~
>> Wu Yanshu, who has aged gracefully, has an amazing temperament
Although we cannot control how we age, it is our own choice to age. Even in her old age, Wu Yanshu will still dress herself neatly, whether it is dressing or makeup and hair, she is very generous, intellectual and elegant. does not let go of old age, nor deliberately pretends to be tender, decent dressing and delicate hairstyle dressing rules are also the key to her elegance.
2. Wu Yanshu's elegant secret has two points, which middle-aged and elderly women can learn
Tip 1: Hair is always coiled up, and it is elegant even when you are old
[1] Don't underestimate "coiled hair", a woman's spiritual outlook is hidden in the hairstyle
Hair hair vs hair dispersion contrast
I don't know if you have noticed that many middle-aged women with temperament, they look younger than their peers, and in addition to dressing, you will find that their hairstyles are also very particular, and they are basically short hair.
This is because as we age, our facial skin becomes looser, and our long hair lowers our visual center of gravity, making our whole person look more tired and tired.
Looking at Lin Fangbing and Wang Fuli, who are 16 years apart in age, it is obvious that the latter is younger:
Especially in middle age, everyone's hair is thin, the hair quality deteriorates, and it is easy to look old. In addition, the hair is gray, and if the hair is loose, it will look haggard and unfocused. Therefore, if you want to look young and temperamental, try to choose short hair, or coil up your hair like Wu Yanshu, and the whole person will look a lot more energetic.
[b] Wrap your hair up to make you even more stunningly beautiful
(1) Expose the forehead and enhance the spirit
Coiled hair, like short hair, will make the whole face look clean and neat, and look very energetic. Compared with short hair, the style of coiled hair is also more extensive, and it is actually easier to take care of on a daily basis, as long as you keep the overall neat and tidy.
It should be noted that when curling hair, try to show the contours of the face and forehead, which will look more dignified and generous, of course, if the face is rugged and not good-looking, you can also leave some broken hair on both sides to cover and modify.
(2) The top of the head is fluffy, and the lining of the face is small
At this time, don't choose Qi bangs that will aggravate the fleshiness of the lower half of the face, and the face will appear rounder after covering the forehead, such as the gills, short neck, and round face will be completely exposed. Even light air bangs will make the face look dull/dull and more likely to aggravate aging.
At this time, if you want to modify your face, you should choose this kind of side-parted bangs, which has the effect of elongating the face shape and will not look crowded.
Whether it is coiled hair or draped hair, if you want to show a small face, avoid the shape that is close to the scalp, which will not only make the head and face look unsightly, but also make the amount of hair appear small, directly exposing the old state.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the fluffier the top of the head, the better, too fluffy will look exaggerated, like Wu Yanshu, it is enough to maintain a slight slack.
(3) Coiled hair + earrings
Styling the hair in a coil will make the face look more energetic, but if it is paired with a pair of earrings, it will look elegant and sophisticated. For example, if you choose delicate and small pearl stud earrings, a touch of shine can enhance the complexion of the face and make the overall look more perfect. In addition, accessories such as brooches, necklaces, silk scarves and other accessories can also be easily controlled with hair!
Tip 2: Don't wear old clothes, be decent and elegant
<01> is old≠ old-fashioned, and he also has the same temperament when he wears the right one
When a woman is old, she looks old and has little to do with age, and the two most important reasons are that she either doesn't dress up or dresses up randomly. Looking at Wu Yanshu, even though she is 85 years old, it is difficult to see a sense of old age in her, just because her clothes are very decent, simple and exquisite.
She likes Chinese clothing very much, especially in some important events, and basically chooses classic and charming items such as cheongsam and tunic. The black/blue cheongsam, the classic style, plus the slightly loose style, not only retains the elegance of the cheongsam, but also combines the body shape, truly achieving the "unity of human clothes".
And I think that cheongsam or Chinese clothing, the older you wear, the stronger the charm of wearing, you don't need to be particularly gorgeous or bright colors, simple design in a special style, you can look very "fashionable".
<02> young ≠ fancy, simple and generous can refuse to be old-fashioned
In the past, the fear of age was because of the fear of showing people in an old state, so some people want to desperately retain their youth, and they will dress in a young direction or choose fancy and gorgeous clothes, which gives people a sense of powerlessness against age.
But in fact, the real anti-aging is not because of the young dress, but the mentality. When you're young, wearing simple clothes won't look old-fashioned, and you'll look younger naturally than you do when you're deliberately young.
<03> simple ≠ monotonous, choose the right color to be more brilliant
Of course, simple clothing is not something that can be worn casually, and the selection and matching are very important. For example, in terms of color, if your skin tone is yellow or dull, it is best to avoid black, khaki and dull colors in the color of the clothing, which will make your face look more haggard and dull.
Looking at this set of contrasts, the khaki color is consistent with the skin tone, and the whole face seems to be unrefreshed. The contrast between the blue and the skin tone will make the face look more translucent and radiant. However, after the color is bright, remember to choose a simple and basic style. ↓
At the same time, for basic clothing, you must know how to use accessories to enhance the sense of detail and durability of wearing. Like Wu Yanshu's grandmother's two bodies, the silk scarf is used to embellish and transition, making the whole look more textured.
3. Wu Yanshu's beauty is not limited by age, and her elegance is amazing
》》Dignified manners, everywhere you go is the focus
When a woman gets older, it is difficult to maintain her appearance and figure, and no matter how much she maintains it, she still can't resist the traces portrayed by the years. But there is one thing that we can control, and which has a huge impact on temperament, and that is demeanor. It can be said that 80% of a woman's temperament is in her demeanor.
Like Grandma Wu Yanshu, whether standing or sitting, she will not let her demeanor collapse, her back is straight, her posture is elegant, even if she is dressed simply, she is also the focus.
》》Open-mindedness, women's self-confidence is the most elegant
Elegance is not only from the external dress and grooming, but also from the inner calmness and confidence, when the heart is firm, no matter in the face of age, or in what kind of environment, can maintain inner peace and confidence. This calm and calm temperament can make you more elegant and charming in the long river of years.
Beauty is not just the patent of young people, but the right that women of every age should enjoy, we must take care of our face with love, so that we can truly age gracefully. Okay, that's all for this issue, we'll see you next time~yz
