Makeup tips

It\'s not just your hair that loses its pigment as you age, your face does too, which can leave you looking washed out, drained and older. Liven up your look with these tips from makeup guru, Bobbi Brown

Eyebrows

Match your brows to your hair colour, or the contrast will accentuate the grey. Choose a slate or taupe brow pencil

Eyes

Grey hair can drain colour from the complexion so give it a lift with make-up in cool tones. For blue eyes, use white and grey eyeshadows; for brown or green eyes, stick to neutral shades such as Bobbi Brown Metallic\'s Eye Shadow Palette
