Makeup Tips For Older Women
Admittedly, much of today’s makeup products are designed with younger (18-35) women in mind. But what about makeup products and specifics for older women, particularly women over 50? Here are some tips and suggestions:
- Easy on the eyeliner – as women age, eyeliner can drag down the appearance of the lid, especially if the line is too thick
- Use a water-based liquid foundation – it’s always a good choice for women with normal to dry skin
- Less is always best – as with younger women, too much makeup can make you look fake, and definitely adds years to face
- Try Lauren Hutton’s products. Her special makeup is designed and developed for women over 40
- Protect your skin – as you age, your skin gets drier. So for example, older women switch from powder blush to cream rouge in order to help prevent skin dryness. You should also always use a moisturizer
- Lessen the appearance of jowls – Jowls are those lines that typically run from the edge of the nose to the corner of the mouth. Using a highlighter can help to de-emphasize the shadow created by the jowl, thus making it less noticeable
