Makeup for women after 60 years

Make-up after 60 years is a special art that requires certain knowledge and skills from the make-up artist. Skillfully applied decorative cosmetics can "wipe" 10-15 years old from a woman's face, while even one unsuccessfully selected product will nullify all her efforts. Fortunately, we can tell you about the basic nuances of age make-up and teach you a couple of lessons on how to create it.

Before you start working out the correct makeup for women over 60, you should familiarize yourself with the basic principles of its implementation.

• The main changes taking place with the face of older people relate to the loss of its contours. They "float", the clear outlines of the oval of the face and cheekbones disappear. It will be possible to visually correct this area by working out the under-cheek area and the jawline with darker shades of powder, blush or concealer.

• Makeup, which is youthful, and does not "throw" a couple of years on top, begins with well-groomed eyebrows. First of all, you should permanently get rid of the thought of getting a tattoo. It looks terrible on older ladies, and anyone who claims the opposite is deeply mistaken. The best solution would be to tint the eyebrows with shadows and styling them with a special fixing gel.

• Do not give up blush. Here, the only thing that can be recommended is that when choosing them, take into account your color type and do not overdo it with their quantity when applying.And so, emphasizing the "apples" of the cheekbones, you will give the face a sculptural appearance and refresh the image.

• Give preference to matte textures. Forget glitter, shimmer, pearlescent overflows. Contrary to beliefs, they not only do not add charm and beauty, but also emphasize all facial imperfections and age-related changes.

• A nude color palette should be your best friend, as well as high-quality shading. There should be no sharp transitions between shades.

• Forget about crisp lines. You no longer need to draw "sharp" arrows, the contouring in general should only be guessed on your face.

• Many older women love bright lipstick. And for good reason. Expensive complex shades like wine, terracotta, coral, deep red look much more appropriate and spectacular on such ladies than on young girls.

• No need to outline your lips with a pencil a tone or two darker than lipstick.

The most important thing to understand when shopping for decorative makeup is no cheap product! As a rule, budget cosmetics cannot boast of high quality, which means that the shadows will crumble, the mascara will smear or create the effect of "spider legs" on the eyelashes, the foundation will go in lumps and accentuate all existing wrinkles.

Pay attention to the warm color palette. Forget about bright, flashy colors. Shadows are best matched to the color of the eyes:

• brown-eyed ladies can afford to make up their eyelids with light coffee, chocolate, pale lilac and bluish shadows;
• the nutty shade of the cornea can be set off with cosmetics of dark green, sand, beige, lavender colors;
• women with blue eyes are best suited for shades of blue, peach and caramel tones;
• light green, pale pink and pearl will look good on green eyes;
• gray-eyed ladies can opt for light gray, graphite, green.

First, you need to prepare the skin for the application of decorative cosmetics.

• The first step is cleansing. You need to wash your face, wipe your face with a toner, apply a moisturizing anti-age cream.
• The skin of the eyelids should be treated with a special gel, a balm should be applied to the lips or lightly walked over them with hygienic lipstick.
• If there are a lot of wrinkles on the face, you can purchase and use a base for a make-up, which contains silicone.
• Foundations should be lightweight, weightless. You can use BB cream.

Well, now two promised master classes on creating age-related rejuvenating makeup at home.

To begin with, remember: the first and main requirement for a daytime make-up is naturalness.

Step-by-step instruction.

• Mask small imperfections (spider veins, age spots) with concealer. It will need to be applied to the area around the eyes, nasolabial folds and other areas with visual defects.
• Apply foundation or BB cream to your face.
• To prevent the creamy texture from spreading, apply a thin layer of powder on top (you can use a colorless one). Be sure to cover the eyelids, the area under the eyes.
• Tint the eyebrows with shadows of a suitable shade, comb, you can fix the hairs with a transparent gel.
• Moving on to eye makeup. Draw a thin line along the lash line on the upper eyelid with a soft pencil. It is advisable to use a gray or brown product. Slightly "lift" the line at the outer corner of the eye.
• If you wish, you can also draw the lower eyelid with the same pencil, but the line should only reach its middle and be carefully shaded.It is not forbidden to neatly connect the lower and upper "arrows" at the outer edge of the eyes.
• Apply a layer of eyeshadow of the chosen shade to the upper lid. Since we are doing everyday make-up, their color should not be bright. Better to opt for a nude matte palette.
• A drop of pearlescent shadows can be applied to the inner corner of the eye.
• To give expressiveness to the eyes, bring them from below along the mucous membrane with white kayal.
• Emphasize the "apples" of the cheekbones with matte blush, focusing on your color type.
• Contour the face with a slightly darker shade of powder, carefully blending the borders. Go over the forehead, chin, lightly grab the cheekbone area.
• Cover lashes with a layer of lengthening or volumizing mascara. If you find a black product to be too bright, use a dark gray or brown color.
• Apply a natural shade of lipstick to your lips.

The principle of its creation will be the same as in the previous version, but there are a couple of "assumptions" here.

• You can use bright lipstick. It can be matte or glossy, but not pearlescent. Choose expensive, complex colors. Make sure that the product does not run or wrinkle around the lips, otherwise you will look like the Joker.
• If you want to accentuate the eyes, Smokey Ice will help you: applying a darker shade of shadows to the upper eyelid from the outer corner of the eye and carefully shading them.

And now we are training observation, ladies, and we are inspired by our photo selection.

• See how fresh and cute this woman looks. Pay attention to the even tone of her face and expressive eyes. Lips are highlighted with pale pink lipstick. The perfect solution for every day.

• Evening option. The emphasis is on the eyes with smoky ice. Lips are only slightly touched by nude lipstick. A pretty bold move was used: blue mascara.

• Everyday make-up in peach shades. Almost "makeup without makeup", which is so fashionable now. A very well-chosen color palette played an important role here.
