5 Beauty Lessons All Women Over 60 Can Learn from Demi Moore

Although I wasn’t alive when Ghost came out (and I’m pretty sure I only saw it once), I distinctly remember her iconic pixie cut. Moore has sported many hair looks over the last four decades—even going as far as shaving her head for G.I. Jane. But nowadays, the actress has been rocking longer locks. “After I shaved my head, I think I just started to let my hair grow with the idea that you can have long hair if that’s what you want,” she told CBS. “Who says that it’s not okay? And I’ve heard it many times. If I didn’t think I liked how I looked, then I would cut it.” 

But aside from her gorgeous straight hair, a hint of gray is starting to peek through. Although Moore admitted to coloring her hair back in 2020, she’s recently been seen rocking her gray roots more and more. And she’s definitely in good company in terms of the movement to embrace the gray (just look at this recent pic of Salma Hayek). So consider this your sign to show off your natural color moving forward. 

Whether she’s hitting the red carpet or doing a press run, Moore is always sporting rosy cheeks, which helps brighten up her complexion and define her distinct cheekbones. I love this approach for all women, but particularly for the 50+ set, since it provides an instant lift and complements gray hair. I've also noticed that the Empire star often opts for creamy formulas, in order to avoid accentuating fine lines, wrinkles and overall textured skin.

In countless interviews, Moore has expressed her minimal approach to makeup and one look that has stayed consistent is her soft smokey eye. Although she prefers just a dab of color on her lids to accentuate her hazel eyes, she's not afraid to go all in with shimmers. And if you're wondering how to pull it off in your 60s, a makeup artist previously told PureWow, it's all about being strategic with your eyeshadow. She shared, "Rather than sweeping a shimmery shadow all over your lids, stick to applying it on the smooth surfaces only—such as along the tear ducts or inner corners of your eyes or directly on the center of the lid. Use a matte shadow everywhere else to draw less attention to any fine lines around your eyes." Want further proof that it works? Just admire Moore's eye look at the 2025 Golden Globes above.

“I think my biggest thing is really that less is more, as it’s much easier to keep a routine going if we keep it simple, so it’s doable,” Moore said at the 2019 Goop Health Summit. 

And in a video for Harper’s Bazaar, she even shared her favorite clean and minimal products. She gave thanks to a makeup remover cloth, which she says ‘saved her skin.’ She then moves on to a serum to tighten her skin and a moisturizer, which she massages on her hands before working it all over her face, neck and chest. “I always put it on my hands first. It allows you to be much more gentle with your face and your skin,” she adds. When she has long work days filled with a full face of makeup, she sometimes mixes multiple moisturizers to really replenish her skin.
