- What your skin really needs at 50 (beyond serum and retinol)
- Makeup. Makeup bases: which one to choose according to your skin type
As time goes by, when it comes to makeup, less is more. And even more so from 50 , the age in which we need to enhance the luminosity and condition of the skin and bet on highlighting the areas of the face that favor us the most. From the eyes with eyeshadows that make us look more open and relaxed, to a lipstick that makes us look our best.
Gisela Bosque , National Makeup Artist at Sephora , gives us some tips so that concealers of dark circles , mascara or eye shadows become your best weapons. For example, when choosing concealer, choose a lighter and more fluid one and apply it to the inner half of the dark circles to cover the darkest part. If you are one of those who make up with eyeshadows, avoid browns and choose grayish, pink, beige and nudes that are more flattering.
Do not forget to highlight or make up your eyebrows to give that feeling of having them thicker because they frame the look and with the passage of time they refine and add years on top. “Always use an eyebrow pencil a shade lighter than the natural color so that they are not too harsh and fill them if necessary with fiber gels to achieve that thick effect”.
Do not forget to make up your eyelashes because the more curly, the more youthful the appearance of your eyes will be. And when it comes to painting with eyeliner , the crow’s feet and the folds do not facilitate the application, but if you do not want to do without it, there is a trick that does not fit to surprise you. The makeup artist recommends “raising the chin and looking down so that the eyelids are semi-closed and then drawing the line with a very fine liquid eyeliner”.
