Makeup after 50 that looks younger

Age makeup is a special art. It allows a woman to look beautiful and attractive, visually hiding age-related skin changes through the correct application of cosmetics. Makeup after 50, which is young, is different from the usual make-up and demonstrates the well-groomed woman.

Age makeup needs a special approach to create an elegant and well-groomed look. It's no secret that skin loses elasticity with age. Wrinkles, age spots appear on it, the oval of the face loses its clarity and beauty. The modern cosmetic market offers a lot of cosmetics with which you can diversify the style and demonstrate the youthfulness of the skin of the face.

However, what is good for a young girl looks out of place on a woman over 50. In addition, skin care components are often included in the preparations. Therefore, cosmetics for different ages are different. Cosmetics for aging skin should be gentle so as not to accelerate the aging process.

When performing age-related makeup, it is worth taking naturalness as a basis: whatever the make-up for ladies over 50, the face should look natural, without the effect of a mask.For this, decorative cosmetics alone are not enough: careful and daily work on skin care is needed. It is her condition that will be the decisive factor: the better and younger the skin of the face looks, the more ideal the makeup will turn out.

Being beautiful and fashionable with age is more difficult, but this is a real task that every woman after 50 can cope with. Experienced makeup artists identify a number of rules for youthful makeup for middle-aged ladies:

• careful preparation of the skin of the face and décolleté before makeup;
• the use of a minimum of tinting agents;
• face oval lifting;
• a calm and muted color palette of cosmetics (refusal of blue, purple colors, giving the area around the eyes the appearance of bruises and red, making the eyes sick, tearful and swollen);
• obligatory study of eyebrows (plucking, shaping in order to get rid of the effect of an impending eyelid);
• shadows with a light satin shimmer are allowed, texture with mother-of-pearl and glitter is excluded: such shadows increase the severity of wrinkles (a drop of highlighter under the eyebrow is the maximum that you can afford);
• exclusion of sharp accents (eyeliners, liners) from the cosmetic bag: if it is difficult to refuse them, it is worth replacing the black pencil, shadows and mascara with brown analogs;
• the use of no more than two layers of mascara on the upper eyelashes, followed by combing the eyelashes (getting rid of the untidy effect of stuck together eyelashes);
• one accent on the face (only eyes or exclusively lips);
• taboo on poisonous and catchy tones of lipstick, as well as the greasy sheen of their texture;
• the use of age-appropriate cosmetics, which, in addition to decorative, has a caring function;
• the use of not only brushes and sponges, but also the fingertips (to even out the tone of the face).

Taking into account the knowledge of the rules for performing age-related makeup, the make-up procedure on your own will not take much time.

Women's makeup, regardless of age, has several varieties:

• day;
• everyday;
• evening;
• festive;
• professional.

Daily and daily make-up middle-aged women are considered to be neutral. In this case, a minimum of cosmetics is used in order to emphasize health: a smooth and toned facial skin is distinguished.

Evening and festive make-up allows the use of accents (pencil, more saturated shadows and lipstick), without crossing the line of naturalness. Such an image is intended for a special occasion (wedding, anniversary), it allows some freedom in the choice of cosmetics, allowing shadows of medium and dark tones, black ink, pencil. This makeup should emphasize the sparkle of the eyes and attract all the attention to them.

Professional make-up used for photo shoots. This is a special job of a makeup artist. This look is fundamentally different and aims to make a woman perfect for the camera. It uses special cosmetics marked HD, which creates a natural effect with any layer of application. This is a rich make-up that allows a woman to look her best.

To make the makeup perfect, you first need to prepare the skin. This includes the use of cleansers and a light moisturizer. The most important enemy on the road to success is not age spots or acne: it is skin aging.Sagging eyelids, nasolabial folds, cheeks with the effect of a "bulldog" - this is what cosmetics should distract attention from.

To compensate for age-related changes in the dermis, it is necessary that it be clean and even. To do this, women use cosmetic products with a lifting effect, soothing and moisturizing creams, masks. Skin care is the foundation of the basics at this age. You can prolong the beauty of the oval of the face with the help of a special corset, which is worn at night.

Make-up should not age, lightness and translucency of tones and layers of cosmetics are welcome. This will help create a sense of naturalness and natural female beauty. The step-by-step instruction consists of the following steps:

• A day cream with a moisturizing effect is applied to clean skin, taking quite a bit of the product and distributing it in a thin, almost transparent layer until completely absorbed.
• If the cream does not perform the function of the base, it is applied next, as soon as the cream is absorbed. If you skip this step, the durability of the makeup may suffer.
• After the base, the face is tinted with a light fluid, then dark circles under the eyes are masked with the help of a corrector.
• Use a powder brush to mattify the tone of the face, then with a touch of blush, give the skin a fresh, rested look.
• The base under the shadows is a necessary condition for beautiful eyes. It is applied in a thin layer on the upper eyelid.
• The correct number of shadows is no more than two (light and dark). First, the eyes are accentuated with a light tone (not lighter than the color of the skin), then the outer corner is shaded, hiding the sagging of the eyelids.
• The lips should remain in the shadows, they must not be interrupted by the accent of the eyes. You should not outline them more than a natural contour: it is ugly and can disrupt the correct placement of accents.
• If you do not pay attention to the eyebrows, you can spoil the whole makeup: with age, the eyebrows become thinner and lose their beautiful curve. The ends of the eyebrows should not go beyond the outer corners of the eyes; it is unacceptable that the shape be an senile arch.

Every woman can do age-related makeup in stages. For this, it is not necessary to visit the salon: a fashionable and youthful make-up is feasible at home.

Before applying cosmetics, you need to choose the type of makeup (everyday, business, holiday) and choose a color palette. Often it is necessary to revise the existing arsenal, as it loses its relevance.

In order to properly apply makeup, you need to use special brushes:

• big round (for powder);
• small with beveled edge (for eyebrow shaping);
• small round (for shading shadows);
• small narrow (to emphasize the ciliary line).

Eye makeup is performed in the direction from the inner eye to the outer edge. In this case, sharp transitions of tone or lack of shading are unacceptable. If there is too much cosmetics, it will fill in the folds of wrinkles.

To make age-related makeup, you need to take into account the peculiarities of the color of the skin, eyes, hair. If brunettes have a more varied color palette at this age, it is advisable for blondes to stick to light and natural tones of cosmetics in order to look appropriate.

It is easier for dark-haired women to make perfect age-related makeup. What seems catchy on blondes looks more natural on brunettes.However, if the color of the shadows matches the color of the eyes, such makeup is doomed to failure. The eyelids will appear heavier, the look tired and dull.

When doing make-up, you need to remember: the color of the eyebrows of brunettes is always a tone lighter than the natural color of the hair. Be sure to stain the empty areas of the eyebrows, if the eyebrows are rare. Otherwise, the eyes will look sharp, and the overall image will be unfinished.

Age makeup of brunettes is performed as follows:

• after a visual “lift” of the face with a foundation and powder, a base is applied under the shadows on the upper eyelids;
• to make the eye color bright, a thin, dim line is drawn along the border of the upper eyelid, without drawing an arrow, but slightly raising the line at the outer corner upwards;
• taking as a basis two tones of the same color, contrasting with the color of the eyes, first a light tone is applied, then (closer to the base of eyelash growth) a dark one, combining the colors according to the principle of the ombre effect;
• it is undesirable to paint the eyelids completely to the lower border of the eyebrows: this is not fashionable, and the view will be terrifying;
• if after shading the makeup seems pale, you can slightly increase the accent of the outer corner with a pencil so that it does not stand out;
• taking mascara, paint and comb the upper eyelashes, bringing them to perfection;
• to hide wrinkles in the outer corner of the eye, in addition to shadows, you can slightly tint the lower eyelashes from below (exactly in the corner).
• choosing a nude tone of lipstick to emphasize the eyes, it is applied to the center of the lips and shaded with a brush, slightly lifting the edges of the lips up.

Blondes need to pay special attention to the choice of color and not oversaturate the image with cosmetics. After leveling the tone of the face, the eyes are accentuated:

• shade of beige color cover the upper eyelid, not forgetting about shading;
• if there are no dark spots under the eyes, you can slightly emphasize the lower eyelid with the same shade of shadow;
• darker tone accentuate the outer corner, smoothly connecting the two shades;
• along the ciliary line of the moving eyelid, a contour is drawn with a pencil, then it is shaded;
• using a flat brush, slightly highlight the border of the lower eyelid;
• brown mascara in one or two layers on the upper lashes will complete the accent of the eyes.

A light dark contour will visually make the color of the eyes brighter. So that the makeup does not lose its beauty, you need to emphasize the line of the eyebrows from below with light shadows. The tone of the eyebrows of blondes should be slightly darker than the color of the hair. You should not paint your eyebrows brightly: it is enough to darken them by a tone or two. For daytime makeup, it is desirable to observe the natural color range of eye shadows and eyebrows: this will enhance the effect of naturalness.

Since the contour of the lips becomes blurred with age, a correction is needed: a pencil of the color of the chosen lipstick. The line should be clear, but invisible against the background of lipstick. The tone of lipstick should be chosen light, as close to natural as possible: it is this shade that will emphasize the beauty and charm of age-related makeup.

The correct correction of the face through decorative cosmetics is achieved taking into account the simple techniques of makeup artists:

• smoothing the tone of the face (with dense pigmentation) allows a translucent layer of foundation, which is driven into the skin with your fingertips (so the layer will be minimal and will not accentuate wrinkles);
• to divert attention from age spots, wrinkles, dark circles around the eyes, you can use a foundation of a warm shade to match the skin tone;
• loose powder creates a translucent, natural complexion, mattifying the skin;
• ideally, the powder is applied to the T-shaped area, eliminating gloss;
• to make the skin look younger, the shade of the blush is preferably light, as close as possible to the natural blush;
• the shape of the eyebrows matters: the outer end of the eyebrow should be higher than the inner one, powder and a couple of strokes with shadows will help to give them volume;
• the rejuvenating effect of wet, fresh lips is created by applying gloss to the center of the lower lip, followed by shading;
• the ideal tone of lipstick - nude, natural and without mother-of-pearl;
• in order not to accentuate wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes and not to make the eyes smaller, it is better to use a pencil instead of eyeliner.

When performing an age-related make-up, we must not forget that the ascending lines of the eyebrows, eyes and lips create a feeling of tightened skin. The downward strokes add a few years to the existing age.

Often the created image does not match the intended one. The reason for unsuccessful makeup, when it does not look young, but ages a woman, is inept work with cosmetics. Makeup artists have identified mistakes that are quite common in age-related makeup:

• dense and uneven layer of foundation (mask effect);
• too light foundation (creating an accent on wrinkles and highlighting any, even minor imperfections of the skin of the face);
• an abundance of powder on the face (the effect of theatrical makeup);
• applying powder to the cheeks and around the eyes (dry skin effect);
• pink, red, orange or brown blush (Marfushi effect and visual aging of the face);
• a thin line of eyebrows without filling them with shadows and drawing a shape;
• liquid lipstick, lack of lip contour or too pronounced contour (untidiness);
• mascara on the lower eyelashes (effect of "panda" and fatigue);
• eyeliner arrows, especially on a fixed eyelid (the prerogative of the young, eye reduction);

Age makeup is the right makeup. The flawlessness of her image will depend on how accurately a woman uses the techniques of makeup artists.
