Before each type of make up, it is essential to start from a cleaning and moisturizingskin, especially after the age of 50; use a good cleansing milk, spending it morning and night on the face and neck, as well as, a tonic, better without alcohol, which should be lightly ironed with a little cotton. Also apply a antiage product on the skin, tapping lightly with your fingertips and then place your moisturizing cream for the favorite face. It is essential to also choose a specific cream for the contour of the eyes and lips that minimizes wrinkles and lines where the skin is more subject to the marks of time.
Start with the application of a liquid or cream base if the skin is quite dry; after the age of 50, it is better to avoid using compact or matte products that could dry out your skin. Use a brush starting from the middle of the face and blend well below the chin and neck; you can even use your fingers but paying attention to applying the foundation evenly.
Then move to liquid Paper, preferring a luminous product that corrects imperfections and enhances the brightness of the face; apply it in the eye contour, below the arch of the eyebrows, on the sides of the nose and mouth, and a tip also on the cupid’s arch to enhance the natural curve of the upper lip. Comb your eyebrows and apply a lapis with light touches to reproduce the hair effect, filling the empty spaces and defining the natural lines; once the application is finished, spend a little liquid Paper with a small brush along the outer line of the eyebrows to clean the outline and leave the drawing defined.
We pass the eyes: apply a liquid concealer or one primer on the eyelid and pass the shadow. Yes the natural colors with opaque finish, avoid pearl and glitter colors that could overwhelm the look. Perfect are the cocoa and caramel colors combined with beige or light brown. Then use a pencil soft and smudge-free, best if used only on the top of the eye and smudged with a flat brush (in most stores you will find it together with the pencil).
Finally, use a black or brown mascara with a stretching effect and apply more product to the final part of the lashes to open the look. It is best not to use mascara on the lower lashes to ensure a more rested and stretched effect.
A little color is enough on the cheeks bonne mine effect; yes to silky and natural blush of the pink and peach tones, good are also the creamy texture that are applied lightly with the fingers smudging upwards. Not recommended are shiny pigments or pearls, better leave them to the new generations!
For the mouth the watchword is reset: use a opaque and long-lasting pencil following the natural line of the lips, which over time loses its definition; the pencil will give a defined and sensual effect.
Apply a lipstick very moisturizing and a full and vivid color. We recommend silky lipsticks, which are not too matte, drying your lips a lot, better use bright products but not too glossy. If you want a voluminous effect, apply a little transparent gloss in the middle of the lower lip, this will make the lips fuller.
It is base makeup, very simple but at the same time very elegant, can and should be adapted to each woman; the important thing is to know and value the strength points, highlighting and showing your own unique characteristics.
