5 Makeup Tips for Older Women
How to bring out your natural beauty at 50, 60, 70 and beyond
-
1. Use Cream-based Cosmetics on your face (not powder-based).
Powder adds texture to skin that already has developed texture.
-
2. Find a tone of lipstick that matches your inner lip or gums.
-
3. Don’t recreate the brows you had in your 20s.
Women older than 50 tend to lose definition in their eyebrows. Just go with that.
-
4. Do not wear any eyeshadow at all.
Especially no contour in the crease because it gives the appearance of deepening the crease. A little bit of mascara is OK.
-
5. Tinted Moisturizers don’t work.
If you’re going to use a foundation to even out skin tone, find one that gives coverage but doesn’t add texture. Be willing to spend money on a foundation and take your time to experiment and find the exact right shade. Matching your skin tone exactly is critical.
