Finding a good lipstick is always a challenge but finding one that will flatter you at any age is even more difficult. What I usually look for in a lipstick is something that is not only comfortable, but will flatter my lips and not emphasize fine lines and dryness on my lips.

Laura Mercier’s Velour Seduction Lipstick is definitely one that gives other brands a run for their money when it comes to lipsticks that flatter any woman at any age.

One of the things that you want to stay away from as you age is matte lipsticks. As we age, we tend to lose volume in our lips and fine lines become more visible.

You will need a lipstick with a softer, creamier finish that will make you look more youthful. Matte lipsticks will only emphasize lines and age you even more.

I like that these lipsticks are designed in such a way where a lip liner is not required. The crayon shape allows for you to easily maneuver around the corners and contour of your mouth to give a more precise application and finish.

The consistency of the formula is amazingly creamy, like a soft matte, but does not bleed, which is an important factor to consider when buying lipstick, since we tend to get lines and wrinkles around our mouth as we age.

Red lipsticks are a classic and are definitely flattering at any age and so are those with a rosy-mauve or berry-mauve undertone. You will find that they compliment and enhance your lips not matter what your skin tone or age.

Due to the creamy nature of the formula, the lipstick does transfer so a little retouching is required here and there throughout the day as you eat and drink.

The Laura Mercier Velour Seduction Lipstick is one that will definitely hit all the points whether you’re a 25 or 75 year old woman.
