As we age, we tend to focus our attention on wrinkles and sagging, but there is another factor that greatly influences the appearance of the skin and that often goes unnoticed: the loss of luminosity. This dull appearance can make the face look more tired and aged, taking away its freshness and vitality.
To recover the skin's natural luminosity, it is essential to follow a good skincare routine and incorporate active ingredients that help improve its appearance, such as retinol or vitamin C. However, skin care is not the only way to restore that fresh and radiant appearance. Makeup can also become a great ally to bring light to the face and achieve a more luminous and rejuvenated finish.
Makeup artist Leire Erdociain, from her Instagram account, comments that in order not to lose luminosity, she prefers cream products because they provide luminosity and freshness. On the other hand, powder products will turn off that beautiful light that we achieve with makeup.
Therefore, after applying the makeup base and having corrected the imperfections, the expert recommends using cream products to sculpt the face so that it does not look so flat. “You are going to stop using powder products because it is going to turn off this beautiful light that we are getting,” says Leire.
“Cream products will make your skin continue to have this luminosity and therefore look like you are 10 years younger,” says Erdociain. The luminosity of the skin has become one of the great priorities of many women, to the point that, for some, achieving a radiant and fresh face worries them even more than the wrinkles themselves. “Because you already know that as the years go by, the skin looks more and more dull and we don't want that, we want the skin to look radiant,” says the makeup artist.
And luminous skin conveys a more rested, healthy and youthful appearance, even when expression lines begin to become visible. In the case of using cream products that do not set very well, Leire recommends “applying a thin layer of powder” on those cream products. This way we will set but without losing the juiciness of cream blushes or bronzers.
Furthermore, to achieve an anti-aging and natural finish, the makeup artist recommends applying the bronzer in those areas where the sun hits, and to highlight the cheekbones, you must do it on the bone and not go below so that a sagging face effect is not seen. Next comes the blush and the professional says that “the blush and the bronzer have to be mixed”, which means that the blush It will go on top of the bronzer, but in a more precise area. “To effect liftingwe smile and apply the blush at the highest point of the apple and upward” until the two products are integrated.
