How to apply makeup

Don't forget to moisturize: Hydration was important for your skin in your twenties, but as skin matures, the importance of hydration increases tenfold. Nobody wants dry, saggy skin that will accentuate wrinkles. Therefore, always moisturize your face properly before applying any type of makeup. The moisture will fill in sagging, dry patches and make your face look fresher and younger.

Choose Moisturizing Makeup Products Since good hydration is an important factor for saggy mature skin, you need to switch your makeup products from matte formulas to moisture-based products. The first important change must be made to the foundation. You should get a moisturizing cream or a gel-based cream. These foundations will give your skin a smooth look and make it look shiny instead of lumpy. Even foundation application needs to be done carefully, focusing more on sagging areas or wrinkles. Powder makeup makes the skin look older.

Choose a golden or yellow foundation:

 An important characteristic of mature, aging and sagging skin is that it turns either red or gray with most makeup products. So to get it all right you need a golden or yellow foundation that will fight gray. This gold-toned foundation will not only act as a color corrector, but it will also add a subtle glow to your complexion. The colour, glow and luster will effectively hide sagging skin on your face and make it look radiant.

Use a creamy concealer:

 Concealer becomes a key ingredient as your skin begins to sag and wrinkle. Concealer can effectively hide all the signs of your age and add luster to your face. However, it is essential to choose a creamy concealer that contains moisture. Avoid powder concealers, as they increase dryness and spots of the skin, making it look older. Therefore, a cream-based concealer for under eyes, wrinkles, dark spots, or sagging skin can be your most effective makeup trick.

Using an eyeliner to wake up your eyes: 

Sometimes, to take the focus off your complexion and create a more youthful look, all you have to do is wake up those eyes and brighten them. You can do this effectively with eye pencils. You need an eyeliner on the inner edge of your eyes to instantly wake up those eyes. To highlight the color of your eyes, you need to apply a dark color line on the upper lash line. Lining your eyes in these two shades will shift the focus to your eyes and instantly camouflage sagging skin for a younger look.

Apply Vaseline or highlighter to the high points: 

As you age and your skin sag, your bone structure becomes more prominent which is a blessing in disguise. You can make the most of this fact by applying shimmer or highlighter to the high points of your face that will take the focus away from sagging. Apply the highlighter pencil with a fine brush to the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, center of the forehead, and cupid's bow. If you don't have a highlighter pen on hand, just use your good quality Vaseline to create the illusion of a totally special face.

Use an eyeshadow base: 

Once your skin ages, you may find it difficult to apply eyeshadow with all the wrinkles that appear. All you have to do is apply a good coat of eye shadow base on your eyelids before wearing the shadow. It will flatten and smooth wrinkles as well as counteract darkness around the eyes. Thus, once you are done applying eyeshadow, your eyes will look younger than ever.

Alternate powder blushes with cream blushes:

 Use peach and pink blushes and blend them well after dotting the apple of the cheeks to add freshness and radiance to the entire look.

Mix a non-comedogenic face oil into your foundation: 

Adding a drop or two of a nourishing face oil (rosehip oil and sweet almond oil for example) helps add an amazing glow and hydration to the entire look.

Filling in the eyebrows:

 Women often do not attach much importance to filling in the eyebrows, but full eyebrows have an equal effect as a facelift. For an anti-aging effect, use a lighter eyebrow pencil, such as taupe or brown.

Opt for a neutral or pink lipstick:

 Soft pink lipstick, coral and neutral shades will look fresh on mature skin.

Use Concealer to Lift Eyes: 

Instead of applying concealer in a triangle shape under the eyes, apply concealer to the inner and outer corners of the eyes, as well as to the corners of the nose and lips.
