Makeup for women over 50 should highlight the attributes in a simple way. Choose the right eyeshadow shade based on your complexion and blend it with a lighter shadow and a touch of shimmer. Use a thin line of eyeliner and blur it with a brush. Have full brows that are en vogue and give a youthful look. Use an undereye cream and a color corrector to conceal puffiness and dark circles. Add highlights to a few areas with highlighters and illuminators. Put on eye makeup first and then foundation and then lipstick.
For the most part, if you're doing your own makeup and you're over the age of 50, you want to go for a dewy lightweight formula. "When you're younger your skin is thicker and healthier and it can hold more weight of product, and as you get older, that's just not true," says Linter.
Here are some tips from Bobbi Brown:
- First of all, just put moisturizer on—not just on your face—put it on your neck and put it on your hands.
- Use a concealer that's not too heavy.
- Use a foundation that's sheer.
- Use an eyeliner that's not too harsh.
- Use an eyeshadow that's not too dark.
- Use a blush that's not too bright.
- Use a lipstick that's not too dark or too light.
