After 50, a heavy makeup will make you look tired, even exhausted, instead of giving you a fresh and vibrant appearance. Don't turn your makeup into a fatigue factor! Here are some age appropriate tips on how to use the makeup to enhance your natural beauty.
The base of any makeup is the foundation. Choose a light foundation with a color very close to your skin tone. Use primer foundation if possible, it will cover the wrinkles.
If you like to use eyeliner, do not use it on the lower lash line. It will draw attention to the dark under eye circles and you don't want that. Draw just a thin line on the upper lash line.
Try to use soft, natural colors for your eye line. Black eyeliner is too strident. Use browns or grays, it will make a huge difference.
Hard tip eyeliner doesn't work on soft, aging eyelids. Start using a soft pencil that will stay put until you wash it off. You can also use a gel liner.
Smokey eyes makeup is a no-no. It will not look good on a mature face, as after 50 you really need to brighten up your face. Use cream eyeshadow to brighten up a dark makeup. Use it in the inner corners of your eyes and below your eyebrows.
Be easy with the eyeshadow too. Use translucent powdered shadows, if possible eyelid primers that will smooth-en the fine lines.
Under eyes circles could be very annoying. They can be hidden successfully by concealers, only if the concealer has the right color. Test the concealer on your skin before you buy it.
The eyebrows are very important too. Shade your brows with a brown, natural looking brow pencil.
Using mascara is crucial for a perfect makeup. The focal point of the face is the eyes. The mascara will literally open the eyes. Use at least one coat, every day. For an evening out, use false lashes, they add an instant glamor. Top false lashes with mascara to blend with the rest of your lashes.
After 50 the natural color of your lips fades. No problem, there are so many lipsticks on the market. Choose a soft color that matches your skin tone. Don't use lip liner, unless it is a nude color.
After eyes, brows and lips make up, it's time for the blush. Use discreet blush and don't create high contoured cheekbones. Make it as natural as possible, like you are really blushing. A natural looking blush will instantly make you look younger and fresher. Don't use dark colors. If your skin is light, choose a pink blush, if your skin is dark, use an orange blush. Try to match your blush with the lip color tone, it will make a big difference in the overall look of your face.
Finish your fabulous makeup with a loose powder, using a large blush.
