Beauty: how to make up well after 60 years old?

Style element made unavoidably, makeup is a brand of coquetry more than anything else. The idea of putting on make-up at 60 is not to camouflage the traces of your history and your career on your face. It is above all to highlight your attributes and not to try to look younger than your age. Here are a few recommendations for applying makeup according to the rules of the art after the age of sixty.

Beauty: how to make up well after 60 years old?

Rule n°1: a flawless complexion

For optimized make-up, the first thing to do after 60 years is obviously to take care of your skin. With time, the skin loses its suppleness and it is important to maintain it in order not to miss your make-up. Moisturizing care is required. The ideal is then to unify your complexion with a foundation that is none other than the base of the make-up.

Favor the fluid foundation of your natural complexion, to apply tone on tone. The idea is to shape a second skin via light and discreet make-up. Think of applying light anti-dark circles with a touch of blush which will illuminate your face. To enhance the cheeks naturally, a matte powder will give back a little freshness to your face.


Rule n°2: the glance highlighted

Second, eye makeup is just another pair of sleeves for the sexagenarians. The golden rule is above all to keep the eyebrows natural for a sparkling look. Concerning the eyes, it should not be forgotten that it is an area particularly affected by wrinkles at this age. Also, forget about anything that can close the eyes, such as pencils or shades that are too dark.

On the contrary, work on what will give radiance to your eyes, to your look. On your drooping eyelids, favor shades that enhance the color of your eyes. A little fantasy is always allowed, avoiding extravagance. Add discreet shades and a touch of mascara to further highlight your look.


Rule #3: redraw the lips

Finally, for the final touch, you will have to work on your mouth. Over time, your lips have lost their volume. More refined and suffering from fine lines, the lips must imperatively be put back in value. For that, redrawing them is essential. Choose a lip pencil of the same color as your lipstick to redraw the contour of your mouth.

However, dark colors should be banned to avoid a too strict look, in addition to further refining the lips. Overly bright colors such as fuchsia are also not appropriate for women over 60. Instead, opt for elegant pink to create the effect of plumped-up lips. A rosewood-colored lipstick is ideal, especially if you have tanned or fair skin.
