Maturity is trending today. This term is used by women and men 40+ who work, rise in price, are socially active, engage in enormous activities and beneficence, and do whatever they want.

A real woman cares about her health, eats properly, goes in for sports, and even beauty begins with that. How do you want a woman to look after 40? Looked up!

Therefore, I would like to focus on the basic rules of anti-aging makeup, which I recommend that makeup artists follow when working with women 40+.

• Cosmetics have not only the finest quality, but also a small visual function. The innovation is mineral decorative cosmetics, which means continued care of the skin.
• The brightest and most important items in a makeup artist's case are cosmetics that have direct contact with the skin: base, primer, eye cream, foundation, concealer. It’s great that there are additional ways to look: patches, express masks, serums and other things that girls over 40 love so much.
• Kindly respect the client! As a rule, women know what's in store for them. It is important to listen, and you will definitely understand what is coming to you.
• The less cosmetics, the better! All clients unanimously affirm that they want to look like this, there is no makeup on their face, but the look is fresh, healthy, and respectable. In 2021, we are talking more and more about natural beauty.

Revealing makeup

Hello, darling skin!

With age, the oval of the face loses its clarity, the curls of the eyes and lips droop, it is necessary to visually raise the contours of the face, all the lines are drawn straight up.

Mature skin is most often dry and dehydrated. Therefore, maximum concentration, primer with a shimmer effect, blur, light foundation, light-colored.

I recommend adding a little highlighter to the base or tone for a subtle effect. A primer with a color correction effect will help neutralize the dullness and grayness of the skin. All these steps are aimed at giving the skin a healthy look! We remember that you should use cosmetics at their finest and to a minimum.

It is best to set the tone with a thin ball of HD powder, or you can not apply it beforehand or use it in sprays.

The concealer is applied to correct short patches of skin in the eye area and locally on pigmented spots, sagging skin, etc. For the orbital zone, the color is chosen based on the principle of neutralization (for example, on a blue-green wreath - a rye-peach color), so that with age the color nuances in this zone become even brighter, and the neutral beige concealer does not prevail problem. The texture of the concealer is light and creamy, and does not accentuate the texture of the thin skin around the eyes.

Sculptor, blush, highlighter - features that give the appearance of relief, freshness and shine. In this world, my favorite is the blush. Even natural blush itself is associated with youth and youth. Rosé-peach blush is applied to the cheek area as high as possible, maybe to the highlighter area! What's more - this is the best lifting!

The sculptor and bronzer are extremely minimal. The highlighter fades, preference is given to rare and creamy textures, and the smell does not aggravate dry skin. The color and thickness of the application may resemble the natural shine of the skin.

Main benefits:

• Use color primers without focusing on how to neutralize the colors themselves.
• Apply a thick tone that perfectly matches the color, but also enhances the dryness of the skin and looks like a mask.
• Highlight the orbital zone, which has a pandy effect, or use the wrong concealer, causing wrinkles.
• Apply the sculptor as a general option, thereby enhancing natural shades, nasolabial folds, etc.
• Thickly applied highlighter that can be seen in space. Everyone knew that he was in the clear.

Brow Makeup

Eyebrows are the most important line in anti-age makeup. The correct straightening of the eyebrows sets the linear rhythm of all makeup. Abi eyebrows looked easy and natural, choosing the color, focus on the tone of the hair. Choose the lightest shades possible: light brown, gray-beige, shades of brown. The truth for brunettes is that it is not black, but a gray shade.

Give preference to thin pencils, which can be used to create a light shadow or paint over hairs, if necessary.

Fashionable eyebrow makeup is impossible without styling: wax, milo, gel, mascara - everything to enhance the texture.

Benefits:

• A tribute to fashion - wide eyebrows - add importance and exposure to the eyelid. If the thin ones look old-fashioned (not sadly), that is guaranteed to add a dozen fatalities. Delicate classics will be perfect.
• Highlighter under the eyebrow is not relevant in 2021.

Rejuvenating eye makeup

The skin around the eyes is very thin, so the first wrinkles appear in this area. Therefore, vicoristic creamy mousse and satin shades and waxy olives do not enhance the texture of the skin. Colors: peach-russet, powdery-gray-russet, burgundy-wine, beige-brown, caramel, champagne color, kemel. It's not the bright colors, but the folding colors.

Most often, there are two methods for vikoryst: darkening over the fold of the curtain to visually enlarge and open the eyes with a shaded arrow, or vikoryt coloring in shades of bronze, khaki, wine and gray.

Nutritional rejuvenation in eye makeup is most effective. Twisted and garnished or overlaid bundles of minimal dimensions.

Benefits:

• Shiny, pearlescent textures on the eyes enhance the texture of the skin.
• Waterproof eyeliners are important for their texture, so they will tighten the thin skin around the edges.
• Dark highlights and shades of shadow accentuate the look on the lower eyelids, thereby enhancing the underdeveloped area and lowering the eyes.

Gubi

Lips can become a color accent in anti-aging makeup. Over time, lips lose their color, so you can see them as a substitute for olive, lipstick, and shade. All cosmetics seem to look like they are tanning your lips. Look for rye-peach, red colors and glossy, satin, non-pearl textures.
