Change how you use makeup for your changing skin.
Makeup doesn't work in your 50s the way it did in your 20s and 30s. If there's one word to summarize it all, it's "change." Over the years, your skin's resilience, texture and shape change. The moisture content of your face drops, increasing your need to use moisturizers and exfoliate. Changes in skin tone and evenness are also common in your 50s. These changes mean a new set of guidelines for picking and applying makeup during this decade. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
Selecting Products
1. Pick makeup colors that match your natural skin tone. Use light colors for lipsticks and glosses based on your skin tone.
2. Avoid excessively bright colors and makeup combinations that contrast; these make the wearer look older.
3. Use foundations and concealers with built-in moisturizers to bring vitality to drying skin. Pick creams rather than powders and use products with sun protection.
Applying Products
4. Use foundation and concealer sparingly. Apply these with a brush and address the spots on your face that need it most, such as spots and blemishes. Aim to make your face appear brighter and healthier.
5. Apply one tone of sheer eyeshadow to the upper lid of your eye toward your brow. This provides a look that is less bogged down tan the three-color method. Don't place dark makeup under your eyes, because this gives the appearance of black eyes.
6. Mix concealer with a moisturizer and apply to the area under your eyes. Smile when you apply blush to capture the high points of your cheeks.
