Make-up after 50: the must-have product recommended by a make-up artist to rejuvenate the face

After fifty, the face changes and the skin’s needs evolve. Make-up then becomes an invaluable ally in enhancing features without ever weighing them down. One product in particular is unanimously acclaimed by beauty experts: the moisturizing foundation.

Why mature skin requires a different approach

Over time, skin loses elasticity and natural moisture. Expression lines deepen, and pores can become more visible. As a result, formulas used at age 30 may no longer be appropriate two decades later.

Skin dryness often sets in gradually. As a result, textures that are too powdery or mattifying run the risk of further marking fine lines. It’s best to opt for skin care products and bases that nourish deep down while preparing the skin.

Make Up For Ever Hydra Booster is the perfect answer to this need for comfort. This foundation provides intense hydration while creating a smoothing veil on the skin, ideal before applying foundation.

“A well-prepared skin is half the battle for a luminous, natural complexion.

The importance of the right foundation

Foundation acts as a protective shield between skin and make-up. It ensures better hold throughout the day. It also fills in irregularities for a fresh, even finish.

Formulas enriched with hyaluronic acid are particularly recommended. They visibly plump the skin from the very first application. Milani Skin Quench offers just the thirst-quenching action mature skin is looking for, with an immediate plumping effect.

• Apply the base to clean, moisturized skin
• Allow to penetrate for a few seconds before applying foundation.
• Choose creamy textures rather than compact powders
• Choose satin rather than matt finishes
• Avoid products that pull or dry the skin

Essential gestures for a rejuvenated complexion

The secret lies in the lightness of the hand. Too much product weighs down features and accentuates the marks of time. On the other hand, a fine, targeted application naturally illuminates the face.

Milk Hydro Grip Primer features a gel texture that fuses with the skin. It creates a “second-skin” effect much appreciated by women looking for a discreet yet effective result. This base is the ideal preparation for daily make-up.

When it comes to foundation, light versions with adjustable coverage are preferable. Clarins Skin Illusion Full Coverage, available in 36 shades for 54€, combines coverage and comfort. It evens out the complexion without creating a mask effect.

Areas such as the eye contour and nasolabial folds deserve special attention. It’s best to apply less product to these sensitive areas. This prevents pigments from migrating into fine lines.

Radiance, the secret weapon after 50

A luminous face instantly looks younger and more rested. Subtle highlighters catch the light in the right places. Nars Light Reflecting Luminizing Powder deposits a fine pearly veil on cheekbones and Cupid’s bow.

However, beware of coarse glitter that draws the eye to imperfections. Ultra-fine particles are much more effective. They melt into the skin for a natural, almost imperceptible glow.

Adapt your beauty routine to the seasons

In winter, skin needs extra nutrition and protection. Make-up must therefore be accompanied by rich skin care applied beforehand. This preparatory step guarantees impeccable results despite the cold.

In summer, lighter textures take over. Hybrid formulas between skincare and make-up are very popular. They protect and beautify the skin with a minimum of product.

The choice of colors also evolves with the years. Shades that are too bright or too dark can harden features. Softer, warmer shades are better suited to mature skin.

Finally, taking care of your skin is the basis of everything. Proper cleansing every evening preserves the skin’s youthful appearance. Targeted skin care products complete this routine for a radiant complexion every day, with or without beauty products.
