Wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots are some of the common concerns for women over 50. While aging is a graceful process, a bit of makeup would help you put your best look forward. Here are some makeup hacks for aging skin.

Spend time on the prep
In order for your make up to last all day long, it is important you spend the maximum of your makeup time on the primer.

A primer will ensure to even out your skin tone and also reduce the appearance of large pores, fine lines, and the wrinkles. Ensure to use the primer with a hydrating moisturizer. Primer also acts as sun protection and protects from the harmful UVA and UVB rays. Lastly, a primer lets the makeup stay all day long.

Use only the right foundation
The idea is to be graceful – always. The right foundation or BB cream would make a world of difference in your appearance. Remember, a heavy foundation makes you look cakey. Use a damp Beauty Blender or brush and ensure to even it out to get the right amount of coverage.

Use a concealer
As you age, dark circles, age spots, and redness tends to increase too. All you have to do is use a bit of concealer to get it sorted. Ensure to use the concealer right after applying the foundation. Also, ensure to find a shade that matches your foundation properly. Mature skin goes very well with the natural and luminous finish – both for foundation and concealer. Try to avoid heavy shimmers.

Bring in the colors for the cheeks
A subtle hint of color on the cheek is always a wow factor, especially for aging skin. However, you have to factor the shape of your face and apply the right color. Many make a mistake in evenly spreading the color on their cheeks. It’s best to apply the color at the top of the apples of your cheeks. Blend upwards all along your cheekbones to instantly bring life your features. Take a closer look at yourself – you would be carrying a whole new radiance!

Watch those lips
Aging skin develops fine lines around the mouth mostly. There is also the risk of lip color bleeding into these lines. All you have to do is dab just a small amount of the concealer around your lips and then use a pencil lip liner to clearly define them. You may have to go really slow here. This neat hack will help you to get the fullness to your mouth. Ensure to choose a color that goes well with your natural lip color in order to get the best of the results.

In addition, it would be best to stick to lighter shades of lipstick. Lighter shades tend to make the lips look fuller. Stick to a moisturizing lipstick or glosses that do not bleed around the lines of your lips. If you have thin lips, a dark color would only make it look even thinner.
