How to paint after 40: 4 important rules for me

Do you want to look great? Then…

Start using the professional basics

If in 20 you can ignore the primer and foundation, then in adulthood, you can not do without these tools: they smooth out the relief and fine wrinkles, minimize pores, hide pigmentation and vascular redness. Choose liquid products with a light powdery texture and reflective particles - they eliminate a dull tone and gently illuminate the face.

Make makeup as easy as possible

Do not use dense products - prefer cream and mousse bases, blushes and bronzers. Apply them with the finest layers and carefully shade - so you can avoid the effect of a "mask" that emphasizes age changes. Give up dark, shiny, too bright lipsticks and shadows, intense stroking and clear arrows - a pastel coral-beige palette will allow you to look younger.

Learn contouring

Easy contouring can make the oval face more clear, raise the "floating" contours of the cheeks, eyelids and chin. You will need two shades of correctors - darker and lighter than your skin for 2 tones. Use light for the orbital zone, the center of the forehead, the back of the nose, the notch above the lip, and the dark one for the line of the chin and cheekbones. The rule is the same: apply a thin layer and carefully shade the boundaries.

Pay special attention to the eyebrows and eyelashes

They give the person a "complete" look and grooming. Black eyeliner, liner and ink leave for evening images, for everyday makeup it is necessary to have in a cosmetic bag a brown (gray) pencil, ink and matte shadows. They can not only decorate your eyebrows, but also refresh your eye makeup.
