How do you apply make-up after 60?
How to apply make-up to mature skin to restore its radiance and reduce signs of fatigue? It’s possible. For this, choosing light-finish corrective make-up will enhance your complexion and rejuvenate your facial features through the right application methods. Follow the guide!
The signs of time can appear on your skin. Some wrinkles and brown spots are more visible while the epidermis becomes even drier. The result is a dull complexion. Moisturising is therefore an essential prerequisite for any make-up, for a successful rejuvenating effect. Adding a serum before your moisturiser all year round, morning and night, will increase the luminosity of your complexion even before you apply make-up.
It's not just your complexion that shows the signs of the years: your eyes may be more pronounced, your dark circles deeper and your eyelids may have lost some of their elasticity. Eye make-up therefore deserves your full attention. Not to mention the eyebrows, which are less full, with a shorter length and less emphasis on your eyes.
Your eyebrows tend to thin and shorten, they no longer play their role as the "eye frame" and your eyes seem less bright. To rejuvenate your brows, do not hesitate to reshape them. How do we keep them from becoming too heavy? Take care to lengthen the tail of the eyebrows starting from the arch. This is the highest point of your eyebrows, the one that lies on the diagonal of the outside of the nose and the pupil. Here are some other tips for rejuvenating your eyes:
Since I was advised to be very light on eyeshadow and to use eyebrow make-up to lift my eyes, I find I look less tired
If your lips are dry, start by softening them with a moisturising stick. This will make it easier to apply your lipstick. Choose slightly shiny lipsticks over matte versions, which harden the features. If you wish to rejuvenate your lips, brighten around the edges with the Beige Concealer Brush and don’t forget to line the cupid's bow: this gesture is important because the crisp edge that surrounds the lips tends to fade with age. Also remember to lightly powder over the top to prevent the lipstick from bleeding into the fine lines around the mouth.
Finally, the make-up should have a nice finish and long-lasting hold. For this, a veil of brightening mosaic powder will provide the necessary luminosity and will make it possible to preserve enough brightness in the centre of the face. If you want to add even more volume to your face by sculpting it, apply the brightening mosaic powder with a smaller brush on certain high points of the face. More specifically, to restore the youthfulness of your complexion, rely on the lifting effect of Sun or Healthy Glow Mosaic Powder, depending on your skin tone. To do this, apply the powder to the top of the cheekbone and to the temples. Due to sagging skin, applying it to the apples of the cheeks (which is recommended in your 20s) now risks making you look tired.
All that remains is to set everything with a fine spray of Avène Thermal Water 20 cm from the face.
