Although age is just a number, your skin conditions might make you feel blue once you cross over the age limit of 60. The first thing which you need to realise now is that the makeup tricks which served wonders back in your 20s, might not suffice you any further. As a matter of fact, you need to exercise greater precision while proceeding with makeup for women over 60 as the ‘less is more’ rule starts applying from now onwards.
Makeup primer is the first step of applying flawless makeup as it allows your foundation and eyeshadow to glide along smoothly. Ideally, you need to apply the primer after applying moisturizer and before applying foundation for best results.
An attention-grabbing eye makeup can make you forget all forms of fine lines and wrinkles. For this, you can opt for an eyeshadow shade which will make your eyes pop while enhancing your eye color. Gold and brown shades look excellent on women having hazel or brown eyes whereas blue eyed ladies look alluring in shades of copper, blue-grey, brown and gold.
Under the contouring technique, you can use blush and bronzers for imparting greater definition to your face. The ultimate aim here is to draw attention towards your best features like the jaw and cheekbone. You can also camouflage problem areas like double chin, thin lips and big nose. Highlighters on the other hand, can instantly impart a face lift by scraping years off your face. This is why it is considered as an essential component of makeup for women over 60.
Makeup for women over 60 lays special emphasis on plumping up the thinning lips for tagging a younger look and feel. Lip gloss can serve as your perfect choice in such a scenario to make your lips look fuller and more hydrated. For this, you will have to primarily line your lips and fill it using a lipstick shade which is two tones darker than your natural lip color.
