Star makeup Lifting effect makeup tricks

Women like Julianne Moore, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Courteney Cox, Demi Moore, Halle Berry or Jennifer Aniston... all over 40 continue to steal the looks of young people and adults. Covering age-related imperfections and illuminating the face without excesses are some makeup keys for a woman over 35.

Skin– Before applying makeup it is essential to have a completely clean face, because cosmetics can clog pores and promote an accumulation of impurities. You have to use a good soap that does not dry the skin and a lotion. To have better effects, you should do a deep skin cleansing once a month and periodically apply nourishing masks.

– Matte foundations make you older. When we have a birthday, the skin becomes drier and therefore matte and opaque. That is why it is necessary to use nutrient makeup funds that give us a fresh, luminous skin appearance. – Foundations have evolved: they not only cover, they treat. «A good option is to choose funds enriched with ingredients such as vitamin C. And, before applying the foundation, we must not forget the serum and cream.– Silicone primers are not recommended for mature faces. They clog the pores. In addition, silicone marks wrinkles more»– Juicy skin: to alleviate the loss of water and thickness in the skin, foundations and even eye shadows must be moisturizing. Better in cream. – The correct tone: The base should never be darker than the skin color; even one more tone gets old.

– IlluminatorWith age, the complexion becomes matte. Solution: use highlighters and primers with illuminating particles. Mattifying powders in the T zone should not be ignored, but always with caution. – Illuminates expression lines: Women believe that applying a lot of foundation in the area where they have wrinkles will hide them, when in fact they generate the opposite effect. If you cover them with a lot of foundation, what you do is generate a thick layer that cracks with the movement of the face and makes the wrinkles look deeper. To avoid this, it is better to illuminate them with a concealer brush in a tone a little lighter than that of the skin. When you do, you will have an automatic fill effect by bouncing light on the face.

Blusher: Great allyBlusher is key because it is capable of reproducing the blush that the skin loses with age. The pink and fruity ones are the most successful because they give a healthy tone. I recommend that when you apply it, it is preferable not to resort to the trick of smiling to find the cheekbone. It is better to first illuminate with pearly textures and using a brush the upper part of the cheekbone. It should not mark the bottom because it subtracts juiciness and roundness. In my mature skin video tutorial, you can see how I do the application.– Color the cheeks with warm tones. You have to use very light pinks or pastels, because they give a youthful touch. The best way to achieve this is to make a smile in the mirror and apply the color to the fullest part of the cheeks – Avoid reds because they accentuate imperfections. Mature skins have to be shown with light and that is achieved with the pink ones.

EyesAt certain ages it is better not to experiment and bet on classic combinations. Especially in the eyeliner, use black and caviar tones. The outlined upper lash line looks good on almost everyone. The lower one is better not to draw from the age of 40, it can cause an undesired effect: dwarf and age the look. The solution is to use a white pencil for the lower one, which enlarges the eyes. – Eye makeup applications should be upwards, to lift the look. – Eye shadows should be matte or slightly iridescent. When they are very shiny or metallic they cause, due to an optical effect, more wrinkles on the eyelid and, therefore, add age. A good layer of mascara is always beneficial.– In order not to accentuate dark circles, your thing is to bet on neutral tones (beige , gray, brown).– The forbidden color is pink. Achieve a tear effect on the white of the eye.– Purple and violet shadows are also prohibited, they intensify tired looks. Make up your eyebrows. They help to keep the look younger, because with age they lose density and color.

Lips– Outline the lips, even in natural tones, for a longer duration of the lipstick and also to draw the mouth that, with age, becomes blurred.– Use rather light lipsticks, which will give your mouth a younger and fresher appearance.-You can also use a semi-transparent wine-colored gloss as a base and place a mother-of-pearl tone on the center of the lips.– Natural and bright colored lipsticks give more volume to the lips, which over time of time tend to get in tune.– Bright tone bars rejuvenate. That is, orange or bright red lipsticks, but nevertheless pale pink, chocolate or violet are prohibited. -Avoid matte tones, and bet on a little shine.
