Makeup application for mature skin requires specific techniques to enhance natural beauty while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. One essential tip from makeup artists is to always use a damp sponge when applying foundation.
The hydration provided by the damp sponge ensures a smooth application, preventing the makeup from settling into wrinkles. Unlike a makeup brush, which may glide product over the skin, a damp sponge seamlessly blends the foundation, delivering a flawless and long-lasting finish. To incorporate this technique, wet the sponge, gently squeeze out excess water, and lightly press it into the foundation, then bounce it across the face for an even application.
Defining your brows plays a crucial role in framing your face and adding structure. Using a brow pencil and gel, gradually build a naturally-defined brow that complements your features. Avoid going too dark, as an overly pronounced brow can appear severe. Take your time during the process, stepping back to assess and add more as needed. For a polished look, set your brows in place with a clear brow gel.
Highlighter can be a game-changer for mature skin, creating dimension and a youthful glow. Opt for a clear, moisturizing highlighter to avoid emphasizing fine lines and wrinkles.
Apply a small amount using a makeup sponge or fingertips, focusing on the tops of your cheekbones where natural light reflects. Steer clear of glittery or sparkly highlighters, as they may accentuate imperfections. This subtle highlighting technique adds a natural radiance to your overall look while saving you money on unnecessary products.
