As women age, our skin changes, and as our skin changes, our makeup routine should change. Women typically make these 5 makeup mistakes as we age. In this post, I will share with you some ways to help change your makeup routine for your beautiful and aging skin.

5 Makeup Mistakes We Make as we Age

As women age, it’s natural for their skin and features to change, so their makeup routine should also evolve to match these changes. Here is a list of makeup mistakes we make as we age

1. Wearing heavy or cakey foundation: This can make the skin look older and accentuate fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Overuse of powder: Too much powder can settle into fine lines and wrinkles, making them more noticeable.
3. Using the wrong shade of concealer: It is important to choose a concealer that matches your skin tone, as mismatched shades can make dark circles and other imperfections more noticeable.
4. Applying too much blush: Over-applying blush can make the skin look rough and unnaturally red.
5. Not using a lip liner: As the lips thin with age, using a lip liner can help define the lips and prevent lipstick from feathering.

Here Are Some Ways to Change Your Makeup Routine as we Age

As a rule of the thumb, when you apply makeup, the closer you get to your eyes, the less makeup you should be applying.

1. Choose a foundation shade that is darker. This helps with texture and reduce look of pores. I can absolutely help you figure this out!
2. Color correct dark colors first then brighten in strategic places to lift. This might take a personal consult by me.
3. Place contour higher above cheek bones for a lift
4. Place blush higher on cheekbones for a lifted look
5. Use feather like strokes, brushing upwards on your eyebrows.

Remember to use a light-handed approach when applying the products. Less is more!
