Top 3 makeup tips for women over 50: secrets from a makeup artist

It's an axiom that self-care and makeup should change with age to ensure the best possible appearance. Mature skin has different needs than young skin, and you need to consider this.

Bobbi Brown, a celebrity makeup artist and founder of her luxury cosmetics brand, shared on her TikTok how to quickly give your skin a healthy glow at age 50. According to her, you can quickly fix yourself up in just three simple steps. They don't require a lot of decorative products, but they will help to visibly refresh your face.

Step 1. Moisturize

Moisturizer should be applied as regularly as possible – it should become a mandatory care ritual every morning. You can also repeat the procedure every time you are going out.

Apply the moisturizer you choose not only to your face but also to your neck and hands. Moisturizing your skin becomes more and more important as you age, so you shouldn't skip this step.

When it comes to choosing the best, most effective anti-aging creams and moisturizers for mature skin, experts recommend looking for products with certain ingredients. For example, peptides help to repair skin damage, and hyaluronic acid helps to retain moisture inside.

Step 2. Masking redness

With age, the skin of the face appears noticeable redness, which is caused by age-related changes in blood vessels. And for a better look, these areas need to be covered with appropriate products. It doesn't have to be a thick layer of foundation or concealer; you can use a special concealing pencil that neutralizes redness.

Usually, redness occurs where small vessels are closest to the skin surface – near the nose and around the mouth. You should also take care of the area under the eyes, where dark circles appear.

Step 3. Light glow

Over the years, facial skin becomes duller, and to give it a fresher look, you should use a product with a light shimmering effect. This can be a balm or other similar product. Make sure that it does not provide shine, but rather a light glow.

Brown advises choosing a product that not only suits your skin but also contains additional care ingredients. For example, it may contain valuable oils such as jojoba or argan, vitamin E, etc. A balm with a similar composition will enhance the effect of a skin moisturizer.
