Makeup for Mature Skin

(Photo from Google Images)

Young skin is very much different from mature skin. The skin show wrinkles and lines. Mature skin is dry and looser. When doing makeup, what you want to do is to bring the youthfulness back to the skin. It should be hydrated and fresh looking. The makeup should look thin and light. You do not want to cake your foundation as it would make the lines and wrinkles more visible. 

Products I recommend  to my clients: 

SKINCARE

For those of you who know me, I spend a lot of time prepping the skin whenever I do makeup on my clients. 

Cleanser:

Always cleanse the face before applying anything on it. It get rids of the clogged pores and removes dirt and small pigments of makeup that were left on the skin. 

• Embryolisse Lotion Micellaire (No rinse Makeup remover)

Moisturizer:

• Embryolisse Lair-Crème Concentrè (24-Hour Miracle Cream)
• Laura Mercier Repair Day Crème SPF 15
• Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream

Toner/Mists:

When using a toner on a mature skin, make sure you are using a hydrating toner and NOT an alcohol based toner as it will make the skin more dry. REMEMBER: You want to hydrate the skin :)

• FRESH Rose Marigold Floral Water
• Kiehl's Ultra Facial Toner
• Evian Mineral Water Spray

MAKEUP

Foundation:

I personally apply it using: clean fingers or beauty blender  or a really good foundation brush.

• Elizabeth Arden Intervene Makeup SPF 15
• Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15
• Estée Lauder Futurist Age Resisting Makeup SPF 15
• Lancôme Absolute BX Makeup SPF 18

Concealer:

Use only if necessary.

• Estée Lauder Double Wear

Powder:

As much as possible use a loose powder as it makes a semi dewy finish. Preferably on the T zone only.

• Laura Mercier Mineral Illuminating Powder

Eyeshadow:

Avoid using eyeshadows that are shimmery or glittery. It would make the lines very visible. Use matte eyeshadows only.

Cheeks:

• NARS Orgasm 

Lipsticks:

Do not use Baby Pink.
