Women will go the extra mile to look good. It just so happens that makeup can help enhance your looks and that is why more women are investing in makeup these days. It\u2019s one thing to buy makeup but it\u2019s another to know how to wear it. For older women, in particular, changes to the skin are inevitable and sometimes it becomes hard to achieve your desired look. So here are a few makeup tips for older women.<\/p>\n

1. Fill in your brows<\/h2>\n

The days when skinny brows were a thing are long gone. Aging makes the eyebrows grow slower after waxing or tweezing and at some point, they just tend to stop growing altogether. They also start to become grey. So a good way to go about it is to fill them in using brow gel in an upward and outward motion to get the best look.<\/p>\n

2. Prime your eyelids<\/h2>\n

Most of the time, women with oily skin are the ones who will use a primer but as you get older, even if your skin is not oily, a primer will help in reducing some signs of aging. As we age, the eyelids become thinner, slightly transparent and could result in uneven skin tone so the primer will help. It will even out the lids to a neutral color.<\/p>\n

3. Use a primer for the rest of your face<\/h2>\n

As you age, you tend to get fine lines and large pores on your face. This is where it becomes necessary to get yourself a thick primer, that is if you want to hide those. That primer will smooth your skin texture and reduce the appearance of large pores as well as the unwanted fine lines, which will make your foundation glide easily.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Change up how you use your eyeliner<\/h2>\n

Instead of just dragging your pencil across your lid like you did when you were younger, dot the pencil along your upper lash line. After that, smudge it using a pencil sponge. This is useful especially because the eyelids tend to be more wrinkly with age making it harder to drag your pencil smoothly across.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Avoid matte looks<\/h2>\n

Investing in products that give you shine will draw too much attention towards you but that does not mean you invest more in mattifying products either. You do not want to have more attention on your fine lines or the wrinkles. The best thing is to invest in products that give you sheen. That natural glow is all you need so keep away from light-reflecting products.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. Always use a setting spray<\/h2>\n

Aging, unfortunately, makes your makeup fade faster. The good thing is that nowadays, you can use a good setting spray to ensure your makeup holds on much longer. A setting spray will keep your face looking radiant all day and if you are after a dewy look, a moisturizing setting spray will do the trick.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Skip the powder<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s some good news. For older women, touching up your face with face powder is not necessary. Your make up will look better without the powder. Using powder will just make your skin appear dry. The worst part is that it will be noticeable because it will sit on the fine lines and facial hairs that you\u2019ll develop as you age.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. Go for a cream blush<\/h2>\n

A cream blush comes in handy when you are trying to get a more youthful look. Using it over powder will make your face come together so beautifully. Using a cream blush will give you a very natural, dewy flush. You will look more put together and your skin will look even healthier.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. If you have textured skin, avoid shimmer<\/h2>\n

Using shimmer on skin that is textured will end up making you look older than you actually are. Surely, no woman in her right mind wants that. Textured skin could be as a result of scarring, acne or wrinkles. The goal is to make this less visible but shimmer does the opposite. It accentuates them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. Skip the purple tones<\/h2>\n

As we age the skin tends to discolor around some areas. Many women like having that beautiful plum tone on their eyes but unfortunately, it won\u2019t work well for skin that is discolored in some areas. Instead, it will just end up making one look like they have a bruise and will make dark circles more visible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

11. Go for shades that are more natural<\/h2>\n

Dramatic is not necessarily gorgeous. Sometimes, simple works best. This is the case if you are an older woman. Go for shades like taupe on the shadows. You will be amazed at just how great a nude lip will work for you. Keeping make up neutral is definitely something to consider.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

12. Try lining your waterline<\/h2>\n

Lining your waterline will make your eyes look bigger and also brighter. It is advisable to use either a nude shadow or nude liner to do this. Having bigger, brighter looking eyes makes you look more awake. Remember, the goal is to see the effect and not the product so apply the products while standing back from the mirror.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

13. Go for a simple eye shadow<\/h2>\n

As you mature, less becomes more. This is where classic makeup becomes the best. Instead of going for trendy eye shadow colors that scream, use softer colors like peach, mauve or violet. It will have you looking classy and age appropriate. You really don\u2019t want to look like you are stuck in your teenage years or twenties when you are in your forties.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

14. Your lip liner is your friend<\/h2>\n

It gets to a point whereby lipstick starts to settle in places it shouldn\u2019t. This is as a result of aging which makes lines around the mouth more noticeable. Subsequently, the lip line becomes less defined. A lip liner comes in handy because it defines your lips and keeps them looking the way they should, giving you a youthful appearance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

15. Always use your lip balm<\/h2>\n

Lip balm sure is a very simple and basic product to have, but it goes a long way in ensuring that your lips look fuller and more youthful. It is very common among young girls, who are still in school but also works wonders for a grown woman and they are so easy to find. So invest in them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
