Natural beauty knows no size, age or color. Everyone radiates in his or her own way! To help you be the best version of yourself, we like to give tailored tips. This week we talk about makeup for mature skin

There's no getting around it: at 60, you have more mature skin than at 20. With age, it loses elasticity, becomes a bit drier and thinner and -offcourse- wrinkles appear. Your eyelids droop and your lips become thinner. No big deal: age is just a number! No reason to ban makeup. On the contrary, the right products work wonders.

Foundation for mature skin

- Apply a light primer to prepare your skin for makeup.

- A thick, matte foundation creeps into your skin's fine lines and pores faster, accentuating them and dulling your complexion. No thank you! Do: a light, very fluid formula with a dewy finish (helló healthy glow!) and extra caring ingredients. 

- Choose 👏 the 👏 right 👏 color! With younger skin, you can just about get away with foundation one shade too dark, but that's really a big no-no with mature skin. Too dark foundation makes you look duller, more tired and older.

- The way you apply foundation also makes a difference. Use a small amount and take the time to massage it in with your fingers, a round brush with airy bristles or a beauty blender. That way, the product melts into your skin and doesn't stay on it like a mask. Do you still see imperfections? Then apply a second layer of foundation locally.

Concealer for mature skin

- A light concealer with peach undertone conjures away fatigue for mature skin. Handy!

- Put a dot of concealer in the inner corner of your eye, following the shape of your eye socket to the outer corner. Now gently dab in with your ring finger.

- Again, choose a liquid formula and powder it with a transparent powder To prevent the product from creeping into fine lines.

- Do you have overlying bags under your eyes? We've got you covered: just apply a lighter concealer to the transition between the bulge and your cheek. This way, you optically push the bulge back.

Blush for mature skin

- With mature skin, you prefer to choose a peachy or brownish-pink blush if you suffer from rosacea or get red easily.

- Does your redness show through quickly? No worries: just use that as natural blush, by applying none or less foundation where you would normally put blush

- Cream blush gives a more natural effect than powder blush. Tuck that with your fingertips on the apples of your cheeks and fade diagonally up toward the top of your ears.

Eye makeup for mature skin

- Put a light (shimmery) eyeshadow on your moving eyelid. Preferably choose cream eyeshadow: it stays on better and is less likely to accumulate in the creases of your skin.

- The big ailment of mature skin: overhanging eyelids. The cure: apply eye makeup with your eyes open! Put a darker matte eyeshadow color in your arcade arch while looking straight ahead in the mirror. Now tilt your head back, put a reclining V in the outer corner of your eye and blur the color.

- Always make sure your eye is optically lifted. We don't like droopy eyes 😉 So stay within the imaginary line between your outer corner of your eye and the tip of your eyebrow

- Curl your lashes before applying mascara. This will elevator your eyes.

- Thinning eyebrows look fuller with some brow powder. Fill in empty spots by touching up hairs with an eyebrow pencil.
