Makeup tips for mature skin

Skin care routine is important, but it's not the only thing you need to do to have flawless skin even at an older age. Think again if you believe that having beautiful, radiant makeup is only for the young. Makeup can make you look gorgeous and give a glowing complexion at any age if product selection and makeup application methods are taken into account.

Here are some tips to help you do flawless makeup on mature skin:

  • Create a glowing base

    : Maintaining a consistent skin-care regimen that includes cleansing, moisturising, and exfoliating is important for developing a healthy complexion, especially over time. Apply a thin layer of a lightweight, moisturising moisturiser on clean skin before wearing makeup. After the moisturiser absorbs, you can use a quick-absorbing primer, such as Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Face Primer with its smoothing gel texture, to target areas with fine lines or dry patches.
  • Cover up Conservatively :

    Apply a sheer hydrating foundation and do not try to hide wrinkles because you will end up drawing more attention to them. Wrinkles are natural on mature skin so let them be. Then use a lightweight creamy concealer to hide hyperpigmented areas.
  • Warm up the skin :

    One can be tempted to hunt for an exact match when picking a foundation or concealer shade, but it is advised going one or two shades warmer to avoid looking washed out. "It can age you if it's too matchy-matchy,". The bronzer works very well on mature skin not just on the cheeks but also under the cheekbone, down the sides of the nose, across the forehead, and under the jawline for a radiant glow.
  • Give the subtle lift :

    Apply blush on top of the cheekbone and blend inward. First use the cream formula and then finish with powder. The setting powder however, is not necessary.
  • A good eye makeup :

    A good mascara and neatly done liner works best on mature eyes. Eyeshadow can be used in certain cases but must be done carefully. Start working from the outer corner and slowly work towards the inside.
  • Do not over do the brows :

    Focus on keeping the brows natural. Instead of tossing n tugging on the eyebrows with a tweezer try n trim them. Use fine eyebrow fillers if the eyebrows are too thin or light.
  • Pay attention to the lips :

    As one ages, the lips can become asymmetrical and lose shape. Use a lip pencil to balance out lips. Better to stick to the matte finish lipsticks rather than over the top shiny, glossy ones.

Conclusion

Mature makeup if done professionally can really provide that lift and glow that mature skin needs and can definitely help a person look good and raise their self esteem.
