It is not known why, but the fair sex always strives to hide their age: in childhood they want to appear older, and after a certain point they strive to look younger. Makeup is not magic, but a nuance that can radically change the image and even the energy of a person.
The two main tasks of everyday makeup are to refresh and enhance natural beauty. If oversaturation can look excusable on young skin, then an extra gram of cosmetics threatens to worsen the appearance of age.
Let's see how to make anti-aging facial makeup and what secrets and techniques it is based on.
Preparing the face
No matter how skillful your techniques are, you will still fail if you apply makeup on unprepared skin. Do a light peel every other day and deep once a week. Massage your face morning and evening.
Over the years, the skin loses elasticity and moisture, so do not shun face masks and rich nourishing creams at night. Use argan or coconutoil before bed, they will help smooth out wrinkles. Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from within.
Makeup base
The most important thing in anti-aging makeup is the condition of the skin. Before applying all products, the face should be wiped with a damp cloth. Next comes the application of the base.
In the case of anti-aging make-up, it is best to use a serum that will help smooth, refresh and even slightly tighten the skin. This product creates the first floor of the foundation, on which the rest of the funds fall. It is important to make this layer as thin as possible so that the tone is transparent and imperceptible.
The next step is to apply the cream, it gives the skin structure more smoothness and reduces pores. This product should be applied gradually, waiting until it is absorbed. Otherwise, the face can be blotted with a napkin, and dry areas additionally moistened. Care must be taken not to leave excess cream on the skin, otherwise the makeup may leak.
Face tone
If you poll 100 women, at least 50 of them will be convinced that dark tanned skin makes the image look younger. Yes, if it concerns the body, the face of such a shade, on the contrary, ages. Therefore, you need to protect it from the scorching sun, and also use creams that will best suit your skin tone.
The best foundations for anti-aging make-up - for those over 40 and over - are chameleons, that is, they can adapt to any skin color. Fortunately, they are represented by manycosmetic companies. It is better to choose water-based creams than oil-based ones.
Very dark tones add years, but too light tones also age, so the choice of shade should be approached as scrupulously as possible.
As for the texture, it should be as light as possible. This applies not only to age-related makeup. After all, a dense foundation creates wrinkles even when you don’t have them.
The older the skin, the lighter the foundation should be, and more targeted application is required. Do not aim to hide all age changes, it is impossible.
Area around the eyes
Anti-aging makeup at the age of 30 with good heredity can be minimal if the elastic skin around the eyes is preserved.
With age, this delicate area becomes thinner and more vulnerable, bruises appear under the eyes and near the inner corners. Before proceeding with the application of foundation, you need to pre-paint over this area.
If the area around the eyes has a bluish tinge, it must be neutralized with red. Even red lipstick is suitable for this. It must be applied in a very thin layer. This trick will help you avoid layering the concealer in this area. "Red circles" must be covered with a light corrector or foundation.
Important! The number of tonal funds should be minimal. If they are thick, dilute them with moisturizer.
Highlighter game
This product is designed to highlight, highlight,give volume and radiance to certain areas of the skin.
With only highlighter and foundation, you can make your face more textured. To do this, you need to highlight:
- triangles under the eyes and inner corners;
- under the eyebrows;
- back of the nose;
- "bird" above the lip;
- center of the chin.
You can highlight your cheekbones with a highlighter without using a bronzer. To do this, select the line that you would darken at the top and bottom with a light color.
Don't use this product with reflective particles under the brows as the shimmer adds volume and makes the eyelid look heavier and puffy.
In the photo, anti-aging makeup looks most beneficial if you use a highlighter.
Eyebrow secret
Eyebrows are the face of the face. They are able to open the eyes, making it more expressive, so they need to be raised as much as possible.
Long thin eyebrows make a woman look older, you should try on wide natural eyebrows.
As for color, after 30 years it is better to give preference to a natural palette. If you are a burning brunette, choose dark brown shades, if you are a blonde - light brown. Very dark eyebrows make any face heavy and heavy, and even more so if even minimal age-related changes are observed.
In anti-aging make-up, it is better to give preference to shadows, because it is easy to draw a strict line with a pencil that you do not need.
Fluffy eyebrows give youth to the face. When styling them, lift the hairs up.
When modeling eyebrows, try not to make the outer ponytail look down too much.
Eye makeup
When the skin around the eyes is sufficiently loose, you should avoid applying shadows, otherwise they will roll up, gather in folds and lie in spots. Both everyday and festive makeup should be as natural as possible.
It is preferable to use bold shadows. Shades are better to choose soft, not black and not even dark brown, but golden, peach, gray or muted lavender. If the skin of the eyelids is very dry, shadows of this texture can exacerbate the problem.
The product on the movable eyelid is best applied with fingers, so it lays down in an optimal layer and evenly.
As for the mascara, it is better to choose not black, but dark brown, gray or dark blue. It should give volume and curl eyelashes. If this fails with a brasmatic, then use an eyelash curler.
For eyeliner, it is best to use the inter-eyelash technique and not draw the arrow far.
The thickness of the lower eyelid can be painted over with a light beige highlighter to make the eyes visually larger and fresher.
In festive make-up, it makes sense to stick bunched, not very long eyelashes closer to the outer corner of the upper eyelashes. You need to attach them before applying mascara, so they will last as long as possible.
Lips
In anti-aging make-up, the emphasis is more on the eyes. Mattelipsticks or pencils look beautiful only in the photo. In life, this technique often matures. This cosmetic product can be afforded by young girls, but even this nuance can add 10 years to them.
If you are not a fan of gloss, then opt for a moisturizing lipstick in not very bright colors, but at the same time fresh. Avoid beige or nude tones if you want to look younger.
If the corners of the lips are lowered, they can be corrected with a concealer or beige matte highlighter. You need to paint over the center of the lips, so they will seem as voluminous as possible.
If you want to draw a contour, then use the most suitable color for natural lips. It must be well sharpened. Don't aim for too much definition of the lips and don't go all the way to the corner.
Blush
What else can give a fresh and he althy look, if not blush? Applied to the apples of the cheeks, they truly make the look youthful and carefree. To find the right point, just smile and paint over the protruding area.
As for the texture, you need to choose a cream blush. They will add shine and shine. Dry ones can create a mask effect and look unnatural. It is better to apply peach or natural pink blush, you should avoid saturated colors: brown, brick, bright coral.
Highlight your cheekbones better with a highlighter than with a bronzer. The saturation of the blush should be compared with the brightness of the lipstick.
