Decreased production of collagen and elastin leads to a decrease in skin density, the appearance of wrinkles and increased dryness of the epidermis. Even those women who, at a young age, had oily skin, after a certain age notice that it has become drier and care products must be selected taking into account new features.

Any make-up is a load on the skin of the face and neck, even the highest-quality cosmetics create a fairly dense layer on the surface of the epidermis. Therefore, daily skin care is necessary for women over 50 who want to maintain their beauty and look younger than their age for as long as possible.

• Increased pigmentation is one of the markers of mature skin; to combat it, it is necessary to use creams with whitening properties.

• It is necessary to pay special attention to the selection sunscreen, since the aggressive influence of ultraviolet radiation has an extremely negative effect on the condition of the skin, activating and accelerating photo-aging. It is optimal to choose a day cream with an SPF factor of at least 20-25, and on the days of being under the scorching sun, you should use products with a higher level of protection.
• In order to look younger, regular special procedures are necessary: \u200b\u200bapplication of masks, non-abrasive peeling and lifting. Some procedures can be performed at home, while for others it is worth contacting cosmetologists (for example, mesotherapy or facial contouring).

• You can complete your makeup with a light mineral powder; the brush should barely touch the leaf to avoid the effect of a porcelain mask.

A rare modern girl is ready to leave the house without creating an improved version of herself with makeup. Although young women may neglect full-fledged makeup due to age (eyebrow correction and lip tinting may be quite sufficient). But who should pay special attention to this topic - older ladies. After all, improperly applied makeup after 40 years (especially after 50), and even more so its absence is completely unacceptable. Therefore, in this article we suggest that you familiarize yourself with all the intricacies of age-related makeup at home.

What is the peculiarity of age-related makeup?

Undoubtedly, it is impossible to look at the age of 50 by 20, but it is in your power to achieve a youthful and attractive appearance. Cosmetology does not stand still, and therefore, with proper and systematic care, you can delay the appearance of wrinkles for a fairly decent period. A healthy complexion and the absence of age spots are an added bonus.

However, there is one problem, which can only be eliminated temporarily and thanks to drastic measures such as plastic. This problem - loss of skin firmness persons with age. Sagging eyelids, drooping corners of the mouth, nasolabial folds - all these are unpleasant consequences of this problem. And it is at this moment that age-related makeup enters the scene, which is able to hide these imperfections.

The main principles of applying cosmetics

Below we suggest that you familiarize yourself with all the nuances of age-related makeup after 40 and 50 years, which you can use even at home.

The most important principle of this makeup is moderation... Failure to comply with this rule will negate all of the following, so always make sure to follow it. For example, opting for the wrong shade of shadows, or overdoing it with their application, you will add an extra ten years to your look.

It is also worth being more critical to quality purchased cosmetics. The opinion that the contents of jars of luxury brands are no different from the mass market is fundamentally wrong. Cheap shadows will never lay on the eyelid in a dense and even layer, plus they all love to crumble, creating multi-colored "bruises" under the eyes. You should also not expect a perfect alignment of complexion and a natural look from a foundation bought at your nearest household chemicals store. You will most likely only get a mask effect.

If among the decorative cosmetics of the mass market there can be a “good man”, then the care cosmetics does not tolerate compromises. Do you want to see the effect? Forget saving! After all, only expensive and high-quality components connected in a unique formula can work wonders.

Please note that all colors used in makeup should be warm shades, as with age, the face can take on a more grayish color, and warm tones will help hide this.

Base

Skin at this age is prone to dryness, therefore, before applying the toner, it is necessary prepare skinmoisturizing it. It can be like an ordinary day cream, which will be "friends" with further layers of cosmetics, or a special professional makeup base that will not only take care of your face skin, but also hide some imperfections from prying eyes.

Tonal basis

Choose a tone that is as close to your skin tone as possible. In no case do not opt \u200b\u200bfor too dark or light shades, they will only highlight all the flaws.

It is necessary to apply the foundation in a thin layer using a special brush or sponge, which will cope with the task as evenly as possible.

In addition, purchase special products for correcting the face contour - concealers, correctors... Using them correctly will help to hide flaws and focus on your strengths. For example, using green pigment will mask the capillary mesh. Try to avoid dark lines, this correction is only available for young girls.

Eyebrows

Don't underestimate the importance of eyebrows. Their appearance can radically change the impression of your image. Unfortunately, this detail is a real disaster; women over 50 are too often on the street who rush to 2 extremes. The first category of ladies does not pay attention to eyebrows at all, but at the same time dyes their hair in rich tones, which makes the face completely lost against their background. And the second category, which plucks the eyebrows very thinly and paints them with a bright pencil, which also spoils the appearance and makes them very old.

Therefore, dear ladies, never repeat such mistakes. The eyebrows should match the hair color or be only a tone lighter in the case of brunettes. Moreover, it is recommended to stick to natural shape, giving it a cleaner look with light corrections.

Eyes

When choosing shadows, you should forget about the so beloved mother-of-pearls and shimmer. You should only use matte shades... Choose light and muted tones, never apply bright and dark shadows. Have you ever seen a woman in her 50s with bright blue eyelids? Doubt. Remember the main rule - moderation. It will not allow you to choose something that will only age you.

Ascending lines should prevail in eye makeup, they visually make the look more open and fresh.

Arrows, the tip of which is directed upward, and a highlighter, applied under the eyebrow line and on the inner corner of the eye, have the same functions.

Lips

First of all, be sure to use a lip liner to adjust the shape of your lips and make them more defined.

When choosing colors, the same rule applies here as with shadows - refrain from overly bright and dark lipsticks. They will give the impression of being too strict. The ideal solution would be nude shades, such as beige, pink, peach. You should also refrain from sparkles, you should not expect charm from them.

Blush

Remember, ladies after 50 are strictly required to use blush. They help refresh and rejuvenate the face. In no case do not use bronzers as blush, it spoils even young girls. Choose colors natural blush - pink and peach. Properly applied blush will correct the shape of your face, so do it according to your face type. The diagram is shown in the photo below.
