As we get older, it’s important to understand how we can best adjust our makeup routine to suit our ever changing skin… After all, it’s about embracing our skin.
Although aging is inevitable, there are a variety of measures that we can put in place to leave our skin glowing and looking younger. Do you find yourself wondering how to do makeup for mature skin? Follow along for our top makeup tips for older women.Step 1: It’s all about prepping & priming the skin accordingly
There are a lot of commonly made beauty mistakes when it comes to makeup for older women. The most common mistake that we can make when applying makeup to mature skin is applying too much.. After all, less truly is more! Instead we should focus on promoting our skin health to create a hydrated base for application, allowing our makeup to appear smoother.Incorporating face oils into your beauty routine allows your makeup to appear lighter, while giving you a dewy finish. We recommend initially priming the skin, then opting for a foundation that promotes a dewy finish. Additionally, you may combine your foundation with a few drops of your favourite face oil to give you that extra glow.

Step 2: Switch the matte makeup for dewy formulas
There are many reasons why we should swap our mattifying makeup products out for dewy formulas for mature skin.. Including the beautiful glow that it gives your skin! Aging skin is commonly prone to dryness, irritation and redness as a result of hormonal shifts in our body. A liquid foundation works to glide over the skin, without settling in your fine lines and wrinkles. Dewy formulas tend to include hydrating properties which in turn work to improve your skin health throughout the day.Thinking it’s time for you to make the switch and experience glowing skin?

Powder blush, contour and highlighting products tend to dry the skin out while contributing to a cakey application. Cream blush and contouring products work to bring warmth and radiance back to the face, without sacrificing your skin's hydration levels.

Lip definition often reduces with age, which can lead to your lip makeup bleeding into the skin around the lips. To achieve sharp lip application we suggest first applying a hydrating lip liner to the lips, working to create a sharp outline for your lip lipstick and preventing product from going outside your lip area.It is important to use products that have been formulated with ingredients that will promote your lip health, such as collagen to improve skin elasticity and Q10 to help firm and tone the lips.
