Modern makeup artists and stylists do not sleep and tirelessly seek out tricks that can prolong the blooming look, and most importantly, they are happy to share them with us.
Creamy textures
With age, you need to change not only your passport, but also the texture of your favorite concealers. When it comes to tones, blush and eyeshadow, go for creamy options. Leave the powder and gel young: on their skin, such things look appropriate and fresh, but they are already contraindicated for mature skin. There is a high risk of turning the face into a mask and emphasizing wrinkles that are invisible even for a picky eye.
Soft eyebrows
Dramatic, as if drawn with a sharpened pencil lead, eyebrows look not only aggressive and unnatural, but also very old-fashioned, making you older. Fortunately, there is a way out. Firstly, for eyebrow makeup, choose not too dark shades - let them be in tone or half a tone darker than your natural shade of hair. Secondly, if you do not know how to carefully handle pencils so that the lines are soft and smooth, pay attention to the shadows. Loose pigments will keep you from drawing graphics to your face.
Brown shades
Makeup artists advise against using black in eye and eyebrow makeup, unless you intend to add yourself a couple of years. Shadows, pencils and kayals of the color of charcoal visually narrow the eyes and, like any aggressive colors, focus on skin imperfections. Instead, opt for chocolate, earthy, and caramel shades to add expression and softness to your makeup. Plum colors are also good: with the right shade, not too red, they refresh the look and bring the necessary accents into the usual beauty mode.
Warm colors
Soft, delicate shades of gold, caramel and peach in foundations are very suitable for mature skin. While whitish and cold tones, on the contrary, will create an overly aggressive image.
Strobing
Illuminated, as if slightly damp skin is the lot of the young and happy. It is important not to confuse this with an oily sheen that has nothing to do with beauty and freshness. When the cells are hydrated, elastic and youthful, the skin looks rested and inviting. Highlighters with a finely ground shimmer will help to achieve this effect, which is barely visible to the eye, but effectively reflects the light, giving the face that very coveted glow. There are two ways to apply such funds. The first, classic: walk the highlighting agent along the nasal bridge and cheekbones. Second, for those who have found the perfect creamy highlighter and have learned how to use it: mix the product with your foundation and spread it all over your face as usual.
Matte colors
When choosing decorative cosmetics, it is important to pay attention not only to soft shades and creamy textures, but also to the presence, or rather, the absence of glitter. This is especially true for products such as shadows. In this case, the shine is unacceptable, especially if it also shimmers like a rainbow shell. Nacre is also best avoided in lipsticks. Look for options where the shine is created by the oils in the composition, rather than the vulgar sparkles.
Blonde hair
Dark hair is not good for mature skin. Bright strands, framing the face, highlight all age-related changes. After 40, it's time to think about changing your hair color. Stylists advise choosing a new shade based on your natural color. Let it be at most two shades lighter than natural.
Glossy Shine Hair
Another trick to help visually make you look younger. Salon vitamin treatments, as well as home rituals such as regular use of moisturizing masks and oil-based products, can help add shine and shine to your hair. The latter are especially good for finishing the styling. Apply a small amount to the palm of your hand and distribute it like a regular hand cream. Now run your fingers through your hair, starting in the middle of the length, paying special attention to the ends.
Roots always stained
It is imperative to monitor the hair roots. Even half a centimeter of overgrown color betrays you with giblets. Do not forget to paint over them regularly, and if you do not have time for one reason or another, use toning powder for hair. They will help you hold out until the next staining, with which, however, we do not recommend delaying.
