How to Apply Makeup on an Aging Skin

Aging and its resultant effect on the skin has become a source of
worry and depression to people to the extent that some are ready to do
anything necessary to make them look younger than their age. Some even
go for surgeries which is expensive and dangerous. We want to present
to you some tips that can help you lift your looks and erase years
from your face, yet will not cost you much nor endanger your health.
Step 1: wash your face thoroughly to dampen it, after which you apply
moisturiser on your face. This will enable any makeup that will be
applied later to gel. Applying sunscreen after the moisturiser will
help to slow down the progression of any other further signs of aging.
Once the sunscreen has had a bit of a chance to sink into the skin,
take a makeup primer and apply it to your face. Primer is important
for aging skin as it helps fill in those wrinkles and other fine lines
that reveal our age.

Step 2: Conceal. Do not make the mistake of packing the concealer
around your eyes, as this will make your eye area to look cakey,
thereby highlighting the wrinkles and fine lines. You can slip the
skin-toned concealer if you have noticeable veins or red marks on your
face, jump straight to the green
concealer. Dab a bit of concealer on your fingers and the blend the
green concealer right onto the affected skin.
Now take a concealer that matches your skin tone and use it
to conceal any dark liver or age spot that is visible on areas like
the face, arm, chest etc.
Step 3: Apply Foundation.
Using a foundation makeup brush or sponge, dab the foundation on your
face, placing dots at different points such as the chin, the nose, the
forehead and the cheeks. Use the brush to then evenly sweep the
foundation over your face.
Warm colours are ideal for dull skins. Experts suggest using colours
that are half-shade lighter than your skin tone.
Step 4: Glow
Illuminators and bronzers has light reflecting particles that can give
your skin a sun-kissed glow, and make you look younger. Blend a
liquid highlighter into your cheekbones and along the bridge of your
nose. It is pertinent that you concentrate on your face bone structure
to lift the face while applying the highlighter. You can blend the
bronzer with moisturizer or foundation and apply it evenly on your
face to get a more natural glow.
Step 5: Cream blush is ideal for older skin as it helps to hydrate
the skin, accentuate wrinkles and give you a younger looking skin. Use
your hand to apply the cream blush into the apples of your cheek and
carefully blend it until your skin absorbs it completely.
You skin is worth taking care of at any age. Though, the makeup that
you used 10-20 years ago may not work for you later. The only
challenge you have to face is that of modifying your makeup to suit
your current age and situation. Brighter colours may not go down well
with aging skin as this will draw unwarranted attention of people to
your skin.
