To stay young and fresh after 50 years, makeup becomes an essential ally. The skin evolves, the features are sagging, hence the importance of adapting its beauty routine. A professional makeup artist has also revealed her secret for an immediate stroke of young people: a very specific pencil.
Aging is a natural process, but unsuitable makeup can also serve you. According to Saffron Hughes, professional makeup artist, the key lies in the choice of good products and a very specific application. First of all, among the errors to avoid, it cites the use of eyeliner. “An too thick or too dark line will tend to shrink the eye and create shadows, accentuating fatigue”, explains the specialist. It recommends avoiding dark colors around the eyes, and favoring lighter colors, such as a nude or beige liner. Applied to the mucous membrane of the eye, he will instantly “wake up” the gaze and accentuate the white of the eyes. This will also provide an effect of freshness and vitality, without weighing down the look.
Another tip for lightening the look after 50 years: choose neutral and bright eyeshadows. The smoked brown or the taupe are perfect colors to structure the eyes at this age. Applied with a brush, this type of eyeshadow will gently delimit the eye line while bringing depth. Saffron Hughes advises to avoid bright or too intense colors, risking highlighting wrinkles. Moreover, “Regarding the camouflage of dark circles, be sure to avoid thick layers of material”, she says. The objective is to illuminate the area. For this, the expert advocates light and moisturizing anti-concealers. Opt for slightly luminous formulas, which will enhance your natural shine without creating a demarcation.
In addition to these different tips, there is a makeup gesture that is undoubtedly rejuvenating: the eyebrow pencil. “A simple fine pencil, applied with precision, is enough to restore shape and volume to the eyebrows”underlines the makeup artist. By drawing small lines, you will create the illusion of eyebrows more supplied and better defined, immediately restructuring your face. In addition to giving it harmony, you will benefit from a natural lifting effect.
As you can see, the idea is to enhance the natural changes of the skin with light products and suitable techniques rather than hiding its imperfections under a thickness of materials. Test and you will see!
