Makeup For Grey Hair

Sally, a makeup artist with over 35 years of experience, applies makeup for customer Barbara and shares the best makeup tips and tricks for women with grey hair, including the most flattering shades and application techniques...


1. Face Prime

Apply 2 pumps of Smooth Like Silk Face Prime to the back of your hand and then use your fingertips to smooth it over your entire face

2. Beauty Balm or Foundation

Apply your Light Look Beauty Balm or Continuous Cover Foundation to your face and blend it out using a Foundation Brush

3. Concealer

Touch up any discoloured areas of your face with a little Cover to Cover Concealer, using a Concealer Brush

4. Powder

Sweep a dusting of Translucent Powder over your face to set your base with a Powder Brush. Use a Small Eyeshadow Blending Brush to apply Powder to areas where you have concealed

5. Eye Prime

Apply Eye Prime to your eyelids using the Concealer Brush and blend all over your eyelids. You only need a tiny amount of this product as a little goes a long way

6. Lip Prime

Apply Lip Prime to the outer edges of your lips. Applying this a few steps before Lipstick allows the product to sink in

6. Eye Shadow

Our Soft Purples No Shimmer Eye Shade Trio is perfect for women with grey hair. Apply the lightest shade all over your eyelids with Brush No.7. Next, apply the middle shade to your crease and outer corner with Brush No.9. Finally, blend the shades together to ensure there are no harsh lines

7. Eyeliner

Apply a thin stroke of Eyeliner along your upper and lower lash line, starting at the centre of your iris and working outwards to the outer corner

8. Mascara

Coat your top and bottom lashes with Mascara to open up your eyes.

9. Highlighter

Sweep some Instant Bright Highlight onto your cheek and brow bones using the integrated brush

10. Eyebrows

Tame your eyebrows with an Eyebrow Brush. Use Bring Back Brow Shape to fill in brows with feathery, hairlike strokes

11. Blusher

Using your fingers, apply Real Radiance Blush just above the apples of your cheeks and bring it up towards your temples. Blend the edges using a Blusher Brush

12. Lip Liner

Apply Lip Liner around the edges of your lips, following your natural lip line. Fill in your lips with the Lip Liner to help your Lipstick last longer. Plumberry is a great colour to use with grey hair

13. Lipstick

Finally, apply your Lipstick! Our Very Berry shade will complement your grey hair
