Makeup for Mature Skin

Age brings about several changes to our skin, including the development of wrinkles and other senile blemishes, such as loss of elasticity, a shift in tone and texture, and more. Your makeup's adhesion to your skin will also evolve. 

So, even if you have applied your makeup the same way since college, there are a few things to be mindful of as you age. And no matter your age, these tips and our recommended beauty products will help you feel confident and beautiful.

Keep Your Skin Well-Hydrated First

Most makeup artists will agree that a good skincare routine is vital to putting on makeup perfectly. And the best way to maintain the look, feel, and overall health of your skin as you age is to keep it well-hydrated.

As you age, your skin's capacity to retain moisture diminishes; therefore, a thick moisturizer before applying makeup is ideal. It will assist in maintaining the fullness of your skin and prevent your skincare products from becoming caked in fine wrinkles.

Vital-C Moisturizer SPF 30 is a great moisturizer to use as a base for makeup. It has aloe vera and shea butter, providing light, soothing moisture that won't clog your pores. Furthermore, it contains sun protection factor (SPF), an absolute must for anyone with skin of any age.

Regular Exfoliation is the Key to a Flawless Application

When it comes to exfoliating, you can use both physical and chemical scrubs on mature skin, but you should be careful. The top layer of the skin of women over 50 gets thinner and more fragile. To avoid irritation, don't do too much physical exfoliation, which can lead to tiny tears in the epidermis if you're not careful.

Use a gentle scrub like Rose Glow Scrub & Mask to get safely rid of dead skin cells. With soothing ingredients like aloe vera and witch hazel extract, this scrub makes you look healthier, brighter, and more youthful.

The Importance of Removing Makeup

One of the key points to remember when caring for your skin is that proper cleansing is essential for the effectiveness of subsequent treatments like anti-aging creams and moisturizing lotions. 

When you wash your face, you get rid of oil, dirt, and other impurities on the surface of your skin before they can clog your pores.

Since dry skin can make wrinkles look worse, you should ensure that your cleanser doesn't take away your skin's natural oils. The Rose Glow Cleansing Gel cleans your skin well without making it uncomfortable. Natural ingredients like Papaya fruit extract and Orange peel oil help bring back the skin's natural glow.

Preparing the Skin for Makeup is the First Step in Creating a Flawless Face

Anti-aging serums are a non-invasive method of reducing the visible effects of aging. And that means fighting wrinkles and fine lines and treating other problems like hyperpigmentation, inflammation, dryness, and more.

Face serums contain hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and ferulic acid, which are necessary for the skin to retain moisture. They go deeper than a facial oil or moisturizer and are essential for keeping the skin healthy, bright, and young.

Before you put on your foundation or tinted moisturizer, use a good serum like Triple Threat Serum or Rose Gold Rx Serum to plump up your skin and smooth out any fine lines you can see.

Emphasize the Eyes

Opening up the eyes will make them appear more noticeable and more youthful. But as we age, the delicate skin around our eyes begins to sag and show the first signs of wrinkle formation. On the other hand, applying eyeshadowcan give the impression that your eyes are bright and alert.

Pep-Tired Eye Boost is safe for all skin types and starts to soothe tired, puffy eyes as soon as you put it on. The brightener's formula contains powerful plant-based ingredients like Aloe vera, Jojoba seed oil, cucumber water, and periwinkle extract, which start to work immediately.

You can choose not to put eyeliner on the bottom lash line, but it can be a powerful tool to make your eyes look bigger and more awake when used correctly on the upper lash line. Draw the liner a little longer at the outer corners of your eyes to bring out the shape of your eyes.

Don't Be Shy About Using Powder

Fine lines and wrinkles may become more noticeable as the powder settles. Use a light touch when applying powder to help. Just dab the powder on your nose, laugh lines, and T-zone (the middle of your forehead, nose, and chin). 

Loose powder is great, but be sure to get one that won't clog your pores and is gentle enough to use with liquid and cream treatments. Powders in pressed form should work just as well. You may achieve a natural, dewy finish with just a tiny dusting of Translucent Pressed Powder in the T-zone. The best part is that you won't notice that you're wearing makeup.

Boost With Some Bronzer

Bronzer can be a great pick-me-up when you feel "blah." Use bolder colors and elaborate patterns on your cheekbones, chin, and forehead, and keep the rest of your makeup plain. Then, stick with a matte bronzer for the most natural look.

Instead of traditional bronzers, use a warmer foundation shade as a bronzer to create a natural-looking effect. Applying a moisturizing, illuminating cream two shades darker than your skin will give you a healthy glow without making you look cakey.

Sun Kissed Bronzer Compact is a lightweight, easy-to-blend bronzer with a radiant finish that brings out your natural beauty. Plus, it has no parabens or fragrances and is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.

Make Sure You Give Your Lips Lots Of TLC

Keep your lips moist and exfoliate your body and face regularly. Use a gentle scrub or a toothbrush to remove dead skin cells from your lips. Add a balm on top to set it and add more moisture. 

Next, use a hydrating lip liner before applying lip products to keep them from feathering or bleeding.

Finish it Off With Some Amazing Eyebrows

With age, body hair becomes lighter and thinner. Therefore, if your eyebrows are not as full and defined as they used to be, use brow-defining products to make them look fuller and better immediately.

You'll need a product with an excellent tip for thin and light eyebrows. With this microfine brow pencil, you can make light, delicate flicks that look like natural brow hairs.

To fill in arches, use Precision Brow Pencil to make strokes that look like hair. It's thin enough that you can draw hair here and there without making it look too fake.

Beauty Knows No Bounds

The aspiration to look and feel young is a sentiment that never fades away. Thankfully, the makeup world has evolved so much that it allows women of all ages to reveal their dazzling best. Plus, cosmetics give us a chance to get back some energy, vivacity, and confidence that come with youthfulness!
