Makeup up to 20 years

The complexion at this age itself radiates the radiance of youth and freshness, so the first priority for makeup in this group is to skillfully disguise existing problem areas of the skin and focus on a good complexion. To do this, a dense foundation is applied to the T-zone and existing rashes, which evens out the tone, but does not weigh it down.

• If the rashes are rare, we can use correctors precisely so as not to overload the face.
• If the skin is clean, we use a very thin foundation, fluid or foundation in the form of a mousse, which has the lightest consistency.
• If the skin is oily, then apply a special mattifying base to the entire face.

We use peach or soft pink blush to highlight the natural blush. It would be appropriate to use highlighters. And remember, makeup should not be aggressive and catch your eye.

Instead of lipstick, it is better to use a light and transparent gloss and not to weigh down the makeup with dark or red shades, which look out of place on a young face and bring disharmony to the image.

But eye makeup can be more intense, which will make the look more expressive, but you should avoid clear lines - only soft shading. We paint the eyelashes well.

Makeup after 20 years

At this age anything is possible! Bright shadows, long eyelashes, bright lips, all kinds of makeup techniques, a riot of colors and makeup styles! Sometimes it seems that all cosmetics, bright and daring, are produced specifically for this age. An age where there are no boundaries, but there is dynamics, self-confidence and the brightness of life!

However, it is important to keep style and circumstances in mind. If you have a classic style and an important event is coming up, then bright makeup will not be very appropriate. But your extravagance can be emphasized by eye makeup done using fundamentally different colors. Or lips painted with extremely bright lipstick. But still, closer to 30 years, color experiments should become more and more careful.

Features of makeup after 30 years

If everything is forgiven for a 20-year-old girl and attributed to the mistakes of youth, then a woman after 30 is already a blossoming bud. And they judge her appearance much more strictly.

After 30 years, makeup for women begins with high-quality moisturizing of the skin: applying a day cream with SPF filters to the face, and a special cream for the skin around the eyes is a must.

Skin correction, age spots, wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes - all these problems are carefully hidden. Therefore, concealer is always used in the makeup of 30-year-olds. The most important thing is not to darken your face by using foundation that is too dark or has a tan effect. These shades make you look old.

We use powder with reflective particles. We choose the blush tone based on the woman’s color type. Contouring the face will make the oval clearer. Blush will add freshness.

Using shadows we add more expressiveness to the eyes, correct their shape and make the face clearer. After all, with age, the corners of the eyes begin to droop, so facial features look somewhat swollen. We choose natural and not too dark shades of shadows. Optimal colors: brown, gray, beige, golden, peach.

We choose shades of lipstick or lip gloss based on the general makeup concept. Don't ignore red, wine, marsala lipstick - shades that are very popular now. But neon pink tones should already be abandoned. To add volume to the lips, we can apply transparent gloss over the lipstick.

Makeup for women over 30 should be as thoughtful and complete as possible, but at the same time moderate.
