As a professional makeup artist, I inherently look at a face and analyze how I can help someone look their very best. As some women age, I often notice they do not change their makeup routine and can actually appear older when they still apply the products, colors and techniques they used years ago. Working in fashion, my daily routine is to apply trend related techniques that work well on younger faces. However, when working on a mature face, a different set of rules applies.One of the key aspects to truly mastering your craft is having the knowledge and ability to create a younger appearance to the skin. As we age, the face naturally begins to change in both texture as well as elasticity, and it is important to know how to apply makeup with these changes.
Although all face shapes are different, it is important to understand how to adjust your approach. The following makeover may help you to understand how these changes apply.
1.
Following a skin care regimen, apply a filling serum to resurface the areas of change.Apply to areas where wrinkles and lines are present: the orbital cavity, nasolabial folds and any areas of natural recession.
2.
Apply a hydrating mist to the entire face.This adds moisture to the skin and creates an easier blending palette for the next steps.
