Changes after 50
Changes after 50
The skin is not the same at 30 as at 50. It is from this moment when we have to start making changes when applying makeup and that is when the skin begins to have different characteristics that make the The usual tricks are no longer useful and we have to put others into practice, more appropriate to the age. We propose you no less than 12 so you can transform your look in a moment.
Follow your routine

Before putting your new makeup routine into practice, you have to carry out the usual cleansing and hydration. It is essential to start with a good base because, if your skin is not hydrated, the result of your makeup will leave a lot to be desired. Use a light moisturizer for the day, always with sunscreen, and leave the nutritious and denser texture for the night.

If moisturizing is essential, the primer is no less so. At 50 it is normal that we have wrinkles and perhaps also marked pores. Therefore, a product like this, which helps to blur these imperfections, can also be of great help to set makeup.

Light base
Light base
Can you use makeup base? Well of course! But you have to choose a very light one so that it does not mark the wrinkles more. What does not change is that we must choose one that is the same tone as our skin because whether it is too light or too dark, it will add years.

Although until now you have applied the makeup base directly with your fingers, it may be time to use the appropriate 'instruments' to achieve a more natural result, which is key right now. One of our favorite tools is makeup sponges, but they have to be moistened first. Another option is to use a brush but, in both cases, the most important thing is to blend the base well.

Using concealer to cover dark circles is a very good idea, but you have to take two aspects into account. The first is that you do not have to rush until you reach the lower lash line, because that is where we tend to have more wrinkles. You have to stick ONLY to the dark circles. You also have to pay attention to the area inside the eye, the tear duct, because in many cases it is also darkened. Take a look at the best concealers on Amazon, which cost less than $ 8!

Beware of powders
Beware of powders
Do you like to use translucent powders to set your makeup? Okay, it's perfect, BUT don't go overboard with them because if you put more than necessary, they can give your skin a stiff and too matte look. With a very thin layer is more than enough and, if you fear going overboard, try this fixative that will make your makeup last all day and, in addition, it will prevent your face from shining.

Nothing makes you look younger than natural, well-made eyebrows. If in your youth you went over the line with the tweezers - calm, it has happened to all of us -, it is convenient to fill and shape with a specific pencil.

The curler and mascara are going to become your best friends (if they aren't already). Opening your gaze, making your eyes appear bigger and more alive, is a priority after 50.

When you apply eyeshadows, they better not be pearly. Do it from the outside of the eye to the inside, blending well. And to make it look better, nothing like using specific brushes for shadows. But first take a look at our makeup brush usage manual. Primer is also a good idea to prevent them from cracking over time.

What do we do with the lips?
What do we do with the lips?
Use the color and finish that you want, your age is not relevant in this case. You just have to have a couple of precautions. The first is to outline first to equalize possible asymmetries and prevent the color from shifting; the second is to blur the contours afterwards so that the so-called barcode (the vertical wrinkles on the upper lip) is not marked.
