Anti-aging Makeup: The Secrets Of The Cannes Lionesses

Of course, makeup at absolutely any age is created first of all, taking into account the individual characteristics of the appearance. However, there are general guidelines that you shouldn't follow - it's more expensive for yourself. So, for example, with age, you should gradually get used to do without contouring (while sculpting should still take place - at least due to competent delicate strobing). Other unconditional taboos are pearlescent shadows and any creamy textures that give a glossy finish. But, of course, that's not all. We are going to tell you more about the intricacies of age-related makeup below:

Tone and blush

As we age, we should choose a foundation for ourselves more scrupulously. In no case should it be dense, otherwise it will highlight all skin irregularities and focus attention even on subtle wrinkles. As Kirill Shabalin rightly claims, the main thing in this matter is to give the face freshness and radiance. So, in Julianne Moore's make-up from the opening ceremony in Cannes, this is achieved through a light tone, soft correction and peach blush, combined with hair color and freckles.

After completing the tone stage, use a highlighter concealer to visually bring a fresh look to the under eye area. In addition, reflective particles visually "smooth" the skin - making wrinkles less noticeable. Their dense textures will only emphasize them.

For blush, choose natural shades - preferably peach or cool muted pink. These, by the way, are colors accompanying not only youth, as many mistakenly believe. As proof - Nicole Kidman's make-up on the 5th day of the Cannes Film Festival.

Eyebrows

According to the national makeup artist YSL Beauty, Nadia Swarovski's eyebrow makeup at the opening ceremony of the film festival will serve as a reference option in this matter.

When working with your eyebrows, try to avoid crisp, sharp contours - just walk around with eyebrow mascara and fill the gaps with appropriate products. In general, an eyebrow tool for age-related makeup is a must-have in 100% of cases.

Eye makeup

As a rule, saturated color prevails in eye makeup less often. Most often, age-related makeup uses brown, peach, bronze or gray-black shades. If you don't have a drooping eyelid and your eyes are open enough, then try repeating Julianne Moore's arrows from the image for the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.

If your eyelid is heavy, it is better to use the shading technique and lift all the lines up. For example, Charlize Theron make-up artists gently blend a black pencil along the eyelash contour, which made the look expressive and made the eyelashes visually thicker.

As a final touch, add a warm peach to the crease of the eyelid (the makeup artists of Laetitia Casta did the same, collecting her on the red carpet of the 5th day). This technique is especially useful when the skin has a golden undertone.

Eyelashes

As Kirill Shabalin notes, the eyelashes should be dyed as densely as possible along the entire length. Often in makeup, eyelashes or tufts are glued to the red carpet.

In age-related makeup it is better to use bundles, and not too long, so that it looks natural and does not go off. The lower eyelid can sometimes not be painted over, but then it must be emphasized with the same shadows as in the crease of the eyelid, as makeup artists Robin Wright and, again, Charlize Theron did.

Bright lipsticks will always refresh the face, as this is the only color accent that is most often used in age-related makeup. The bet is often made on peach, coral and pale pink shades, which have something in common with blush in color. In this case, eye makeup can be natural, but with elaborate eyebrows, as, for example, in the image of Laetitia Casta from the red carpet of the 7th day of the film festival.

However, experiments with bright red or rich wine lipsticks are not uncommon for age-related makeup. The age does not impose a ban on them - in confirmation of this we present the image of Nicole Kidman from the 8th day in Cannes.

If you have smoky eyes on your eyes (like Marion Cotillard, day 7), you should make natural lips (using the perfect nude shade) or use a transparent gloss - to create the effect of "wet" lips (for inspiration - beauty images of Nadia Sworovski, Diane Kruger and Robin Wright).
