5 Makeup Tips for Older Women - 2023

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.
