Clients after 50 years - what are they?

Ladies of elegant age make up a special category of clients. During menopause (namely, at this time women begin to be considered age-related), a lot of changes occur in a woman's body, which are associated with changes in hormonal levels.

What physiological and morphological changes occur with the skin during this period?

All metabolic processes in a woman's body gradually slow down with age, this reduces the ability to retain fluid, the skin loses moisture. The elasticity of the skin is lost, it is worse restored. As a result, this leads to age-related changes. When the skin loses elasticity, facial features cease to be clearly defined and begin to blur, asymmetry appears on the face. The eyelids and corners of the lips droop, and the first wrinkles gather in these areas.

The skin becomes thinner, the vessels are located closer to its surface, a bluish tint appears. Lips become pale as pigmentation is lost over time, and eyebrows and eyelashes lose density and also gradually fade.

All these changes can be corrected and made invisible with the right permanent makeup.

Eyes. To make the eyelashes look thicker, offer the client a tattoo of the space between the eyelashes. Is the client ready to move on? The right shape of the arrows will be able to “raise” the drooping corners and switch attention from wrinkles in the corners of the eyes. Properly carried out permanent makeup can give the effect of lifting the eyelid and rejuvenate the face as a whole.

Lips. Permanent lip makeup will return a clear shape and color.

Brows. For older women, among the eyebrow tattoo techniques, it is best to give preference to hairs or the soft shading method. It will look very natural, especially if you choose a harmonious color and a shape that suits your face.

But for high-quality procedures, the master must have a sufficiently high level of professionalism, because tattooing on aging skin has its own characteristics.

Practical tips for the master

Age clients are a very difficult category for a PM specialist, which requires special attention. Some permanent makeup specialists are afraid to work with aging skin. What should a specialist take into account during age-related permanent makeup?

Psychological aspects : not every person in adulthood can easily agree to a change in appearance. Deciding on a tattoo is even more scary. If a woman has already entrusted you as a master, pay special attention to her and show the delicacy that you are only capable of. Be polite, tolerant and affectionate. Create maximum comfort for the client during the procedure, anaesthetize with high quality, calm down in the process.

Features of the permanent makeup procedure for women 50+ are also due to the changed properties of the skin . It requires a more careful attitude, as it becomes dry and thinned. And aging skin reacts to tattooing a little differently than young skin. Thus, dry skin is less sensitive and does not bleed as much; The tattoo goes on more evenly and lasts longer. But you must be prepared for any unexpected and unpredictable reactions to coloring pigments, choose shades more carefully. Since the ability to regenerate decreases with age, the healing process may be delayed. In general, the master himself must initially understand that slow metabolic processes in the body will affect both the healing period and the manifestation of the pigment in the skin, and the time the pigment leaves the skin. And, of course, warn your client about it.

The most important thing in age makeup is naturalness. The master must choose only natural colors and draw the correct forms. When choosing pigments, it must be taken into account that the vessels after 50 years are very close to the surface, and this leads to a colder skin tone. Accordingly, stop your choice of color a few tones warmer.

You need to work very carefully and more superficially in order to protect yourself from a deeper introduction of the pigment. This way you will avoid the appearance of a darker color after healing. In this case, the phrase is more relevant than ever: it is better to underdo it than to redo it!

Anti-age make-up does not tolerate sharp, bright and dark lines! This is the main law of make-up for age clients. If possible, avoid sharp lines so as not to make facial features sharper and emphasize asymmetry, which increases with age. Refuse in the sketch from absolutely symmetrical eyebrows - this will only emphasize the asymmetry of the rest of the face.

In the continuation of the material, we will consider the nuances of working on different areas of the face of clients of elegant age.
