Ask the Beauty Experts: Hollywood Pro Linda Tical on Lashes, Skin, and Hair Advice For Midlifers

Linda Tical wants you to lash out.

This doesn't mean you need to have a heated argument with someone who crowds your space at yoga.

By lashing out, this Master Lash Artist wants women to know that beautiful lashes are one of your best beauty accessories. That's why she founded Goddess Lashes, turning lashes into an art form.

Italian born, she has lived in the US for nine years and has spent 12 years in the beauty industry. Her celebrity clients have included Kim Kardashian, Ciera, Nicki Minaj, Blake Lively and Star Jones.

Linda is the kind of beauty expert who has great advice in all areas of going glam including hair, skin and diet.

I asked her to share her best tips for Midlifers who need a pre-spring season pick-me-up.

Q: What is your best skin care advice for ladies over 40?

A: Cleanse daily and exfoliate twice a week. Use your favorite anti- aging cream or moisturizer both a.m. and p.m.  Also, get professional peels 1 time a month to refine and renew the skin."

Q: Let's say your make-up routine is tired. What's a great perk-me-up?

A: "Illuminate the inner eye with Goddess Mineral Illuminator which not only conceals dark circles but smoothes wrinkles away and brightens up the eye area which is the focal point of the face. Also applying white liner in the inner rim of the eye will instantly brighten up the eyes.  Bold colored lipstick such as red or fuscia will do the trick, too."

Q: Any trends for women over 40 that we should really pay attention to in 2012?

A: "Lashes will continue to trend and get even bigger as the year goes on and instantly lift the eye without painful injections. Nothing de-ages like lashes.

Q:What is a fresh spring make-up look for women over 40?

A: "Think fresh face with rosy checks and lips. Use a pastel nail polish."

Q: Any advice for someone with a round face?

Get a good brow shaping from a pro and learn how to fill them to create an arch.  Use blush/ bronzer on cheeks and move up covering the area by the hair-line to give the illusion of a slimmer face. And also apply blush/bronzer on jaw area."

Q:  Any advice for someone who is over 40 who wants to minimize the lines and wrinkles?

A: "Get professional peels once a month and use retinol based products to fight wrinkles (p.m.) and a stem cell serum a few times a week. Drink collagen ampoules every other month to boost collagen production."

Q:What are your best hair care tips?

A: "Wash your hair every 2^nd or 3rd day with a good quality shampoo, use hair mask two times a week and a high quality argan oil serums on the ends before and after blow dying.

Q:What are your eating well tips?

A: "Drink lots of water, eat plenty organic fruits and veggies, drink green tea and limit sweets, processed and fast foods."
