8 Makeup Products Older Women Need
8 Makeup Products Older Women Need
Tricia shares her 8 must-have makeup products for older women. She selects 3 face, 3 eye and 2 lip products which conceal, correct, add colour, luminosity and interest to older faces...
Why?
- As we get older we develop more blemishes, age spots and often have a slightly more uneven skin tone
- These areas need a little more help than a base foundation alone
How?
- Take a No.4 Concealer Brush and gently buff the concealer into your problem areas
- Then press the concealer with the warmth of your fingertips to melt it into the skin
Why?
- Fresh, dewy looks are very flattering, particularly on older faces
- Highlighter adds coveted luminosity
How?
- You can't really go wrong with the highlighter: simply brush it onto the areas you would like to add a glow to, such as your cheekbones and brow bones
- Blend in using your fingertips
Why?
- Blusher is essential to counteract the colour-loss we suffer as we get older
- It makes us look healthy and brings our faces to life
How?
- Swirl your fingers in the blush and then pat it onto the centre of your cheeks and upwards towards your temples
- Take a No.2 Blusher Brush and buff it all in
Why?
- Eyebrows frame the face and give it balance and structure
- Brow Shape also adds definition and colour to sparse or very light brows
How?
- Use the integrated brush and apply the Brow Shape to your eyebrows in light, feathery strokes
- Lengthen the tail of your brow if you feel they stop before they naturally should
- Brush through with a Spoolie Brush to soften and tidy up the brows
Why?
- A strong eye look will make your eyes look bigger, brighter and better
- The Eye Shade Trio contains complementary colours which can create an entire eye look from one palette
How?
- Take a No.7 Shadow Blending Brush and buff the lightest colour over your entire lid as a base
- Then take the middle shade and define your socket line using 'windscreen wiper' motions
- Finally, take a No.8 Wedge Brush and your darkest colour and line your upper and lower lashes, particularly in the outer corners to create a 'cat eye'
Why?
- Mascara makes such a huge difference to older faces that if you only have time for one thing, you should make it your mascara!
- It really opens up the eyes and makes them pop
How?
- Gently sweep the mascara onto your top lashes in mutliple coats
- Add one coat onto your bottom lashes to keep the eyes looking balanced
- If you apply primarily to the lashes on your outer eye you can achieve the 'cat eye effect'
Why?
- Older women face a pesky problem of lipstick feathering and bleeding into the lines around the mouth
- Never Feather Lip Prime stops this from happening competely by sealing the outer edges of the lips
How?
- Start with clean, makeup free lips and apply the Lip Prime only to the outer edges of your lips
- Allow to dry a little before applying your lipstick
Why?
- Tricia would not go anywhere without lipstick!
- Lipstick is the perfect finishing touch to maintain equilibrium in the face and brighten your overall look
How?
- Apply the Lipstick straight from the bullet or using a No.5 Lip Brush
- Precisely line your lips with the Lipstick before filling in to the centre
