Makeup Ideas for Women over 50
Being over 50 does not mean that you
cannot look and feel your very best at any time. As we age our faces
change.
Our eyes become a little droopy and our skin dries out a little
bit but these issues can easily be disguised with the right makeup. All
you need is some good makeup and the right technique.

There are two rules you have to remember.
Healthy skin is beautiful skin and you can work with what you got. A
lot of women make the mistake of thinking that because they have a few
things different with their skin.
You can improve on what you got.
Start with a clean palette. Clean your
skin thoroughly every day but not with harsh soaps. Instead use a
moisturizing cleanser. Be sure to moisturize your skin day and night.
You also want to use an eye lift serum as well. In most cases it is not
the makeup but what you do to your skin before the makeup.
You should also be using a skin
brightener to give your skin a bit of a glow.
You can make dry dull skin
look brighter and healthier with a quality skin brightening cream. If
you use the skin brightener you may be able to forgo the foundation.
The goal at any age is to use less makeup
and still look great. Apply highlighter right above your eyebrows
because it will give your eyes a lift. Add some highlighter right under
your eyes. This will give your eyes a more wide open look.
Trick With Mascara
To give your eyes a fresh young look
apply mascara to the outer lashes of your eyes first and work your way
in using less mascara toward your inner eye.
You can lengthen the outer
lashes just a little more than the inner lashes to give the effect of
pulling up your eye lid.
Contouring With Just Blush
You do not need an elaborate system to
contour your face. Use your highlighter right under your cheek bone and
blend well.
Than use a light blush right on your cheek bones. This will
lift your cheeks and give you a younger appearance.
