They themselves don’t notice how they are aging themselves: 3 makeup moments that add 5 years after 50

Hi all! Today I want to talk about some makeup techniques that may not look very flattering on the skin of mature women. They can highlight age-related changes such as wrinkles and loss of skin firmness, and can also rob the face of its freshness. In this review, we will discuss why some methods should be used with caution or adapted to suit your needs.

The first thing worth noting is that many ladies choose dark foundations, hoping to achieve the effect of tanned skin, and complement the look with dark blush. However, if the tone is too dark, it only highlights all the imperfections of the skin, and the wrong shade of blush can look unnatural on the face.

Solution: Choose a foundation that matches your natural skin tone, and if you want to add a healthy complexion, apply a little bronzer.

The second point concerns the use of dark lipsticks, especially if they are applied in a thick layer to lips with pronounced wrinkles around them. This type of makeup can emphasize age-related changes.

Solution: If you like dark shades of lipstick, apply them in a thin layer and use a contour pencil to precisely correct the shape of your lips. You can also add a little light lipstick to the center of your lips for a visual increase in volume and a neat blur.

The third point is related to the use of powder, especially in large quantities. Powder can accentuate wrinkles if applied excessively and carelessly.
