"We all love our moms, but there are always a few things we kind of wish they'd change. So we helped them do that with Edward Tricomi and Joel Warren from the Warren-Tricomi Salon in New York City and Laura Geller who is a celebrity make-up artist," said Alyssa Hertzig, beauty editor, Good Housekeeping.

Nilma Perez’s daughter said her mother had zero time for a beauty routine. "I've been trying to get my mom to do something with her hair, add a little color to her face. She's such a beautiful woman," said Giselle Gonzalez.

Good Housekeeping's experts got to work quickly on a new, more flattering look for Perez. "Nilma had very, very long hair so we cut about four inches off. We added lots of layers, which made it look a lot more beautiful and it just felt so much lighter. You could just tell immediately she felt great with that hair cut," said Hertzig.

Donna Bernesser’s daughter wanted to remove her mother’s dark circles around her eyes. "So Laura Geller used a fantastic concealer. It's called Creaseless Concealer and that took years off right there, which was great. Then we enhanced her eyes with a very thin line of brown liquid liner. One that we really like is Physicians Formula Felt-Tipped Eye Marker, and it's got this kind of little marker end so you can get a really fine tip and go as subtle or dramatic as you want," Hertzig explained.

Too busy to reapply makeup all day long? Good Housekeeping suggests Spackle Under Makeup Primer from Laura Geller. "You put it on before your makeup and it helps form a barrier between your makeup and your skin and lasts hours and hours longer," Hertzig said.

Another tip: Good Housekeeping recommends a bright lipstick for women in their 40s or 50s. That’s because a woman’s skin loses color as she ages, and a subtle lipstick color can give women a washed-out look.
