Learn about makeup tips for women over 50
At 50, the skin and features are not the same as a few years ago, but that does not mean that we cannot beautify ourselves, so it is best to know these makeup tips for women over 50.
The years do not pass in vain, and it is that with the appearance of wrinkles, the dryness of the skin and the fall of this in some areas, the products that you apply may not be able to generate the effect you want.
But, to obtain a bright, fresh and cheerful face, without denying your maturity, I recommend that you write down each of these tips prepared for you.
Makeup tips for women over 50: Day makeup
For you to understand each of these tips, it is best to put it into practice, thus generating a day makeup, in which you look radiant. In addition, this is a makeup that you can wear in your routine and adapt it for festive occasions.
1. Hydrate your face
Although this is a step and tip that we should try since we started in the world of makeup, more emphasis is required when reaching 50.
This is because already at this point, the skin is more affected by the effects of age, strong products and the effects of factors such as the sun. The accumulation of this over a long time, leads to dry skin, with spots, dull and flaccid.
However, there's nothing that a few beauty products and makeup techniques for women over 50 can't fix. And for this the most basic thing you should apply is the following.
Moisturizing cream: This restores moisture to your skin and progressively improves its appearance. Those that have a sunscreen effect and vitamins are recommended.
Eye Contour: This is a protector and moisturizer for the area around the eye. It is more effective for that area, improving its appearance and texture. It also progressively reduces puffiness and dark circles.
These products are a base that you must implement to improve your skin and at the same time protect it.
First apply the eye contour under the eyes and above them, without reaching the mobile eyelid. Then apply the moisturizer to the rest of the face and neck, working your way up.
Let your skin absorb them well, and wait until it is cool and dry to apply the other makeup products.
Although these are the most basic products to hydrate and improve the appearance of the skin, another option that you can include in this step is facial serums.
These are products that are applied before the moisturizing cream, being a concentrate of active ingredients that repair and rejuvenate the skin. They are absorbed quickly and give a light and smooth texture, which with the moisturizer applied alone, you will not be able to have.
2. Light foundations
Something that you want to hide with makeup are wrinkles and blemishes, and for this reason, many choose to use foundation on a large scale. They build layers upon layers of this product to hide these features, but in their attempt, they end up stiffening the skin.
The idea is that it looks light, very natural, and it is that with only applying a layer and with the progress that you will have with the moisturizing products, the spots or wrinkles will not be noticeable.
To achieve this, you must opt for a soft base, of your exact skin color. Apply it on your face, but with a small amount and in small touches that cover the entire face and neck.
Apply a cream base, depending on your skin type, that is, if it is oily or dry, and you can distribute it with makeup sponges or a brush.
3. Well blended concealer
Dark circles are one of the most obvious negative points of our face, and although we use creams and other products, with a bad night's sleep they will be accentuated and therefore the corrector is used.
In a makeup for women of 50, care must be taken with this product. The reason is because by making a bad application, certain wrinkles can be accentuated and look stiff.
To avoid this, apply a small amount near the tear duct and up between the lower lid and cheekbone in an upward horizontal line.
Spread it with your fingers in the area of the dark circles in the shape of an inverted triangle, and then upwards on the line already marked. In this , let the product dry a little and blend well with a small sponge, making small touches.
4. Blush, contours and illuminators in small quantities
In general, with these types of products it is often abused and for the makeup of women over 50 it is a big mistake that adds years and a forced appearance.
To avoid this, the first thing you should consider are products with creamy textures, with them you have control over what you will apply, by placing it in the direct area and the amount you want.
Apply very little product and blend it well on the correct areas, with a sponge, brush or fingers.
5. Creamy lipsticks
For makeup for women over 50, matte and pasty lipsticks are not the most recommended. This is because at this age, the lips have small wrinkles, which with these lipsticks are accentuated, looking dry.
To do this, opt better for creamy lipsticks, there are many with intense colors, but for day makeup, the gloss ones with soft tones will highlight your lips. In this way they will be hydrated, fleshy and full of life.
6. Eyes with light eyeliner and mascara
The eyes are the focus of attention, but that is why we should not exaggerate with makeup and glitter, or leave it without makeup. For makeup for women over 50, it is best to highlight the attributes in a simple way.
To do this, start by placing a base for thin shadows, on the mobile eyelid apply a shadow of the color of your choice, being preferably something warm and natural during the day.
In the basin, blend a lighter shadow to the previous one, and if you wish, apply a touch of shimmer shadows on the mobile eyelid, all blurred.
On the lashes place a thin line of eyeliner, with an eye pencil preferably brown. Do not create the cat eyeliner, reach the culmination of your eye and blur with a brush, lengthening the line.
Finish off with a coat of mascara, but to ensure lifted lashes, use an eyelash curler first.
