Starting with a moisturizer for your skin type hydrates and prepares your skin for makeup.
Use a primer:
Primer before foundation reduces fine wrinkles, pores, and makeup wear.
Lighten up foundation:
Choose a transparent foundation or tinted moisturizer that complements your skin. Avoid thick, cakey formulations that settle into creases.
Conceal dark circles and blemishes:
Hide dark circles, age spots, and discolouration with a creamy concealer. Brush or fingers it.
Focus on the eyes:
Taupe, brown, and light gray eyeshadows define your eyes. Avoid sparkly shadows since they accentuate delicate wrinkles. Curl and apply mascara to open your eyes.
Define your brows:
Fill sparse brows with a pencil or powder to frame your face and look younger. Natural-looking strokes are short and airy.
Choose flattering blush:
To brighten your cheeks, use a peach or rose blush. Blend it on your cheekbones.
Soften lip lines:
Choose creamy lipsticks or lip stains that match your skin tone as lips lose volume with aging. Avoid matte or drying formulations that accentuate lip lines.
Highlight strategically:
Apply a faint highlighter to your cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid's bow. This enhances youth without highlighting texture.
Set with powder sparingly:
Set your makeup with a lightweight translucent powder, concentrating on the T-zone to control shine. Excess powder can settle into fine lines.
