Makeup for mature skin: ideas, tips and photos to inspire

It is not true that, as the years go by, it is necessary to apply more and more makeup to cover the expression marks of age. On the contrary! Much better is to learn to value the face in every period of life.

The secret to making perfect makeup on mature skin is not to overdo it. The balance between the products used and the softness of the colors create a harmonic effect and do not leave the skin marked or too cracked.

With a little care and attention to your own features and the particular details of your face, you can be sure that makeup will be able to make you even more beautiful, regardless of age!

5 tips from an expert to follow without fear

No more doubts when applying makeup on mature skin! Makeup artist Carolina Machado explains some tricks to get right when putting on makeup:

1. The choice of products is very important. With age, the skin tends to get a little drier than it used to be, so investing in makeup that has the moisturizing factor is ideal. Avoid powders and foundations with dry coverage.
2. Also look for products that offer a natural or illuminating effect, to smooth and brighten the face and minimize the appearance of deep lines and creases.
3. At any age, the eye area is the thinnest region of the face, and deserves extra attention! Therefore, the makeup artist strongly recommends the use of a primer or moisturizer in this area, always using it before applying the concealer.
4. Regarding the eyeshadow, prefer to use the satin eyeshadows that do not mark as much. The shimmery and opaque ones can have a not-so-nice effect on mature skins, as they draw too much attention and mark the creases too much.
5. And, if you like dark lipstick, there is no such thing as not being able to use it! Carolina Machado says that it is a myth that he makes women look older. “If included within a light, harmonic and well-built composition, it will look elegant with a bolder touch!”

Step by step: neutral makeup for mature skin

Following makeup artist Carolina Machado’s tips, learn how to make the perfect make-up for mature skin:

1. First step, always: clean and moisturize! Wash your face well, pat dry and apply a face moisturizer. Tap into the eye area.
2. After the moisturizer, it is still important to apply a primer, which leaves the skin smoother and softens the appearance of pores.
3. Base time! Opt for one with a light and smooth finish – liquids usually have these characteristics. Some foundations also have sunscreen and anti-aging factor, and are even more suitable! Apply without applying pressure with a brush.
4. For the concealer, apply small amounts to the skin and spread with light taps with your fingers. This leaves the finish smoother and the skin even.[aoacabamentomaissuaveeapeleuniforme
5. On lashes, a layer of mascara is always welcome! Choose a mascara that highlights what you prefer (more volume, longer lashes) and apply to the upper lashes.
6. Don’t forget the lips! As the eye makeup was once soft, you can choose the color you like the most for the mouth. Pink and coral shades look great and are always a great option.
7. Finally, why not a little color in the cheeks? Choose a blush in shades of pink or peach and dab a little on your cheekbones. Your makeup is ready!
