It is not known why, but the fair sex always seeks to hide their age: in childhood they want to seem older, and after a certain moment they tend 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 emphasize the natural beauty. If on a young skin oversaturation can look excusable, then on an extra gram of makeup threatens to worsen the appearance.
Let's see how to do anti-aging face makeup and what secrets and tricks it is based on.
Face preparation
Whatever masterly techniques you use, still fail if you apply makeup on unprepared skin. Do a light peeling every other day and deep once a week. In the morning and evening, massage your face.
Over the years, the skin loses its elasticity and hydration, so you should not shun face masks and oily nourishing creams at night. Use argan or coconut oil before bedtime, they will help smooth out wrinkles. Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from the inside out.
Makeup base
The most important thing in anti-aging makeup is the condition of the skin. Before applying all funds, the face must be wiped with a damp cloth. Next is the application of the base.
In the case of anti-aging makeup, 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 base, 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 invisible.
The next step is applying the cream, it gives the skin structure more smoothness and reduces pores. This product must be applied gradually, waiting until it is absorbed. Otherwise, the face can be wet with a napkin, and dry areas additionally moisturize. It is necessary to ensure that there is no excess cream on the skin, otherwise makeup may leak.
Skin tone
If you interview 100 women, at least 50 of them will be convinced that dark-skinned tanned skin makes the image more youthful. Yes, if it concerns the body, the face is such a shade, on the contrary, is aging. Therefore, you need to protect it from the scorching sun, and also use creams that will best suit your skin tone.
The best tonal products for anti-aging makeup - those over 40 or more - are chameleons, that is, those who know how to adapt to any skin color. Fortunately, they are represented by many cosmetic companies. It is better to choose water-based creams than oil-based creams.
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 must be as light as possible. This applies not only to age-related makeup. After all, a dense foundation creates wrinkles even when you do not have them.
The older the skin, the lighter the base should be, and more precise application is required. Do not set as your goal to hide all age-related changes, this is impossible.
Eye area
A rejuvenating make-up of 30 years with good heredity can be minimal if the elastic skin around the eyes is preserved.
With age, this delicate zone becomes thinner and more vulnerable, bruises appear under the eyes and near the inner corners. Before you start applying tonal products, you need to pre-paint this area.
If the area around the eyes has a bluish tint, it must be neutralized in red. For this, even red lipstick is suitable. It must be applied in a very thin layer. This trick will help to avoid the concealer in this area. "Red circles" must be covered with a light corrector or foundation.
Important! The amount of tonal means should be minimal. If they are thick, dilute them with a moisturizer.
Highlighter game
This product is designed to brighten, emphasize, give volume and radiance to certain areas of the skin.
Having only highlighter and foundation, you can make your face more textured. To do this, clarify:
- triangles under the eyes and inner corners;
- the area under the eyebrows;
- the back of the nose;
- "bird" above the lip;
- center of the chin.
You can highlight cheekbones with a highlighter without using a bronzer. To do this, highlight the line that you would darken with light color at the top and bottom.
It is undesirable to use this product with the content of reflective particles in the area under the eyebrows, because the shimmer gives volume, which makes the eyelid appear heavier and swollen.
In the photo, anti-aging makeup looks most beneficial if you use highlighter.
Eyebrow secret
Eyebrows are the face of the face. They are able to open their eyes, making them more expressive, so they need to be raised as much as possible.
Long thin eyebrows visually make a woman older, it is worth trying 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 a blonde is 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 makeup, it is better to give preference to shadows, because with a pencil it is easy to draw a strict line that you do not need.
Fluffy eyebrows give youth to the face. When laying them, raise the hairs up.
When modeling eyebrows, make sure that the outer tail does not look down strongly.
Eye makeup
When the skin around the eyes is quite loose, you need to avoid applying shadows, otherwise they will roll up, gather in folds and lay down spots. Both everyday and holiday makeup should be as natural as possible.
Greasy shadows are preferred. Shades are better to choose soft, not black and not even dark brown, but golden, peach, gray or muffled lavender. If the skin of the eyelids is very dry, the shadows of such a texture can exacerbate the problem.
It is best to apply the product on the moving eyelid with your fingers, so it lays down with the optimal layer and evenly.
As for the carcass, it is better to choose not black, but dark brown, gray or dark blue. She should give volume and curl eyelashes. If this does not succeed with the help of brasmatik, then use eyelash curlers.
For eyeliner, it is best to use the inter-ciliary technique and not bring out the far arrow.
The thickness of the lower eyelid can be dyed with a light beige highlighter to make the eyes visually larger and fresher.
In holiday makeup, it makes sense to stick bundle, not very long eyelashes closer to the outer corner of the upper eyelashes. They need to be fixed before applying the carcass, so they will last as long as possible.
Lips
In anti-aging makeup, the emphasis is more on the eyes. Matte lipsticks or pencils look beautiful only in the photo. In life, this technique often grows up. Young women can afford this cosmetic product, but even they can add this nuance to 10 years.
If you are not a fan of shine, then opt for a moisturizing lipstick that is not very bright colors, but at the same time fresh. Do not use beige or nude tones if you want to appear younger.
If the corners of the lips are lowered, they can be adjusted with concealer or a 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 pencil most suitable for the color of natural lips. It should be well sharpened. Do not strive for excessive clarity of lips and do not reach the very corner.
Blush
What else can give freshness and a healthy look, if not blush? Applied to the apples of the cheeks, they truly make the image youthful and carefree. To find that very point you need, just smile and paint over the protruding area.
As for the texture, you need to choose cream blush. They will give 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 cheekbones better game highlighter than bronzator. The saturation of the blush should be compared with the brightness of the lipstick.
