Makeup Tips to Make 60-Year-Olds Look 40
A supportive makeup routine starts and stays with good hydration. It’s an inside and outside job. Drink enough water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated to support your skin health.
Using a primer in your makeup routine helps ease the appearance of wrinkles and those pesky finer lines, smoothing your complexion. There is a difference between primers for younger skin versus older skin.
It’s important to lay the right foundations. Some can make your skin appear drier and accentuate wrinkles. Experts even suggest that you don’t need it.
Or it can certainly feel like it! The under-eye area is a soft spot for most women, literally and figuratively, from dark circles to droopy skin. It can be all you notice about your skin, leaving you feeling like a mess.
Some experts advise you don’t need a powder because it can highlight wrinkles. If you prefer to use it, try a lighter translucent powder. This reflects light compared to a pigmented powder that absorbs light.
Recommended blushes for older skin are liquid and cream based. They ensure easy blending into the skin compared to powder blushes that show the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Soft pencils, compared to gel or liquid eyeliners, can work best for older skin. Ensure the tip is always sharpened for a detailed application. A magnification mirror also helps get an even line.
