The older we get and depending on skin condition and desired skin goals, you may need to rethink your skin care, the same also applies to makeup. We collected the tips and advice to consider, here is our makeup guide for mature skin.
PRIMER FOR MATURE SKIN
In addition to skin care, a primer is an important foundation before makeup. Perhaps an even more important step for mature skin, which is usually drier. Invest in a primer that provides moisture, No. 28 Primer Serum. The purpose of a primer is to make the makeup adhere, keep it in place and even out the skin texture. The smoothing effect together with a moisturizing property is a perfect foundation for the next step, foundation.
FOUNDATION FOR MATURE SKIN
Opt for a thin and sheer texture with buildable coverage as with the Skin Illusion SPF 15 Hydration Foundation. A clear and natural base does not settle as easily in lines that are otherwise easily highlighted. Just as when choosing a primer, invest in a base with moisturizing properties. Omega Stick Foundation is also a suitable option.
GLOW TIPS!
Take command of what you want to highlight and use glow products. Make the application of a highlighter smooth in the form of a stick or in a unique gel texture, Liquid Light Serum Highlighter. Glowing products like to highlight lines, so if you want to draw attention away from your lines and wrinkles, add glowing products in parts where the skin is smoothest.
BLUSH
Get different results depending on how you apply your blush.
- C-shape – Applying your blush from the cheekbone up to the temple in a c-shape is perfect if you want to give your face a lift.
- O-shape – The classic application in the middle of the apple of the cheek. Also gives nice volume to the face.
EYE MAKEUP
Watch out for glittery and glowing shadows if you don't want to emphasize lines. Invest in matte shades, preferably in several shades that can enhance and create depth to your eyes. Try Laura Mercier's creamy Caviar Stick Eye Colour. Tip! Add shine under the eyebrow instead, it creates a lift!
Eyebrows frame the face nicely. Invest in a shade that you are comfortable with and that gives a natural and soft impression. An eyebrow mascara is a suitable alternative!
Counteract sparse and thin eyelashes, apply an eyeliner on the upper lash line that intensifies and frames the eye nicely. Apply smoothly with a light hand in short strokes. Choose a brown shade if you want a more natural impression.
LIPS
Keep your lipstick and gloss in place and prevent it from flowing. The secret is spelled lip penna! A mature skin has more lines around the lips and contouring with a lip liner helps to keep the lipstick in place.
Applying your makeup in an upward, slanting motion is a super tip if you want to give your face a lift. Take the help of our skin therapists and find the products you are looking for or do our foundation test and get tips and advice on the right product and shade for you.
