Guide: Makeup for mature skin
We share tips and tricks for applying the most beautiful makeup to mature skin while celebrating your age.
With age comes more mature skin, which is important to care for and protect. Time leaves its marks on the face - on the eyes, skin and lips - but fortunately, makeup can help improve minor imperfections. We share tips and tricks for applying the most beautiful makeup on mature skin while celebrating your age.
How to apply the perfect makeup on mature skin
A beautiful makeup look starts with thoroughly moisturised and well-cared-for skin, and that's important. Exfoliate your skin at least once a week to remove dead skin cells. Also take preventive care daily with serum and cream to look after your skin.
Step 1. Primer for mature skin
First, use a Primer. The primer smooths the skin and fills in fine lines and wrinkles, so makeup is distributed evenly and smoothly across the whole face.
Step 2. Foundation for mature skin
Next, apply a light Foundation. Consider choosing a shade slightly lighter than your own skin tone, as this will make your skin look fresh and visually blur fine wrinkles. Choose a Foundation with SPF to care for and protect your skin from further damage.
ECOOKING Foundation has SPF 15 and also contains hyaluronic acid, which keeps the skin moisturised and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. This makes it an obvious choice as a foundation for mature skin.
Step 3. Concealer for mature skin
Add Concealer under the eyes and on uneven areas such as pigmentation and broken capillaries. Use a creamy, caring concealer that does not dry out the skin.
ECOOKING Concealer is a creamy mix of vitamin E and jojoba oil that protects, soothes and moisturises the skin. Its texture is light and absorbs easily into the skin without settling into lines.
Step 4. Powder and blush for mature skin
Apply a little Mineral Powder to set your Foundation and Concealer. Too much powder will settle into wrinkles. Only powder where your skin is shiny.
Then add Blush. Choose a creamy blush without glitter or shine. Dab a little blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend – take care not to be too generous to maintain the natural look.
Step 5. Perfect makeup for eyes and lips
Define your eyes with an Eyeliner. Avoid black, liquid eyeliner, as it can look too harsh. Instead, apply a soft eyeliner in blue, green or brown.
Apply a lighter eyeshadow over the entire eyelid and blend with a darker eyeshadow in the crease. Choose a matte one rather than one with glitter. You can also add Mascara to your lashes.
Fill in your brows. Brows thin with age, so you may benefit from defining them with an Eyebrow Pencil. Let the eyebrow pencil do the work for the most natural look and brush through your brows afterwards. If your brows are very thin, it may be a good idea to go a shade or two lighter.
Finish by adding a little colour to your lips. Dab on a lipstick and top the look with a little Lip Gloss that makes lips appear fuller and is rich in moisture and care in the form of hyaluronic acid and vitamin E.
