We know that makeup is a great tool to look better and enhance our facial features. But what we must keep in mind is that over time the skin changes and acquires new needs. Therefore, to achieve a rejuvenating effect on mature skin, you have to have another approach with makeup.
Bet on cream textures, tones that do not harden and of course, know some tricks that will make a difference. In this sense, makeup artist María Borbolla, who shares numerous tips for mature skin through her Instagram account, has highlighted one of the keys to achieving flattering makeup after 60: “To apply makeup for mature skin over 60, these three parts of the face must be enhanced.”
The first step the makeup artist recommends is to focus on highlighting the cheekbones. As we know, over the years this area of the face can lose firmness and definition, so it is important to work on it to visually regain its prominence. To achieve this, he advises applying a little concealer just below the cheekbones. In this way, a play of light and shadow is created that provides contrast and helps highlight the features, achieving an effect of greater definition.
The second area of the face that we should focus on are the eyebrows. “Marking eyebrows on mature skin is essential in three key points,” explains the expert. And the eyebrows act as the frame of the look, so giving them definition and making them look fuller can completely change the expression of the face. To do this, María Borbolla proposes marking three strategic points: the tail, the arch and the beginning of the eyebrow. Next, with the help of a fine-tip marker, the small gaps are filled in with short strokes, thus creating a much more natural hair-by-hair effect.
The last and not least are the lips. As the years go by, they also experience changes such as loss of volume, definition, and small wrinkles may appear around the contour that make their makeup difficult. For this reason, the makeup artist recommends “outlining the lip for longer wear and lift.” For this purpose, we are big fans of marker markers that last for hours and do not migrate due to wrinkles.
