“Makeup is an art in skilled hands. The right makeup can show any woman that she is a beauty. An illiterate person can ruin even excellent data. The good news is that this won’t happen to you. “Now we will look at the intricacies of age-related makeup, as well as the mistakes that, if you make them, can turn you into a caricature of yourself.”
1. Ideal base
The first step to perfecting your old makeup is the right foundation. It creates the thinnest layer between the epidermis and the base: it evens out the texture, makes the makeup more durable and protects the pores from the penetration of the tone into them. After applying foundation, the skin looks smoother. Wrinkles become less noticeable.
And this is the case in which there is no need to fear silicones. This base is secure. This is the best option if there are no allergic reactions.
2. The right tone
The color of the foundation should be as close as possible to the natural skin tone. The composition should not be selected based on personal preferences. The reference point is the skin type. Oil-based products are suitable for dry skin and water-based products for oily skin. From the age of 40, it is better to choose products with moisturizing ingredients so as not to dry out the skin.

Miss beauty: tanning base
I do not recommend this beauty product to anyone. Tan tones give yellow color, age and leave the complexion sallow. In combination with light skin, which has not been touched by foundation, the overall appearance is as careless as possible.
3. Healthy glow
It is better to choose a natural blush shade. Maybe with a pink color. It always gives freshness. I recommend the cream blush. They will look more natural.
Beauty fail: excessive contouring
There was a time when contouring was tremendously popular. Nowadays the fashion has receded a bit, but followers can still be found. I want to say that the contour is good for professional sessions and completely unsuitable for everyday life.

4. Focus on the eyes
The concealer will help hide dark circles and give you a fresh look. It should be a couple of shades lighter than the foundation.
Kayal is a soft and hypoallergenic cosmetic pencil. It is intended for mucous eyes. Kayal of white, pearl or pale blue color can visually “whiten” the eyeballs.
Choose neutral pastel shadow shades. Be careful with pink. It gives the eyes a tear stained look.
The eyeliner may well be classic black. Arrows are a great solution. Voluminous and fluffy eyelashes will make your eyes expressive. Choose black or brown mascara and avoid colored options.
Beauty Miss: thick layer of pearlescent shadows
Mother of pearl is only suitable for theatrical performances or thematic evening makeup. And it won’t look good on all women. Pearlescent eyeliners and eyelids lined with them are the apotheosis of vulgarity.

5. Eyebrows: frame for the eyes.
The correct shape can visually change the eye contour and turn the eyebrows into a natural frame for the look. And this is precisely the case when it is best to contact a professional makeup artist or eyebrow artist for the first time.
Miss beauty: eyebrow threads
This is something you should forget about once and for all, regardless of fashion trends. Finely plucked eyebrows do not look good on anyone, they create disproportion and give the face a strange expression.

6. Lip makeup
I recommend a light or nude (shimmer) lipstick shade. The texture is creamy. Moisturizing components are required. Dark shades add age, and matte lipsticks create unnecessary emphasis on wrinkles and dry out the delicate skin of the lips.

This method will not help your lips look fuller unless you are a professional makeup artist. Do you want to visually enlarge your lips, but are against contouring? Buy a shimmering, plumper shine.
7. Fix your makeup
This is the final touch that should not be forgotten. A special spray will help you maintain your perfect look throughout the day.
Age-related makeup is a case where the best is the enemy of the good. Practice moderation, don’t follow trends and remember: natural beauty never goes out of style. She is ageless.
