Aging is inevitable. And even with advancements in medicine, we are still no closer to creating the elixir of youth to make everyone look ageless and flawless. Despite the best skin care routines, maintaining that flawless look takes more than just cleansing and scrubbing. Here are a few simple makeup tips for women with mature skin to help rejuvenate that glow.

Hydrate the skin
Beauty experts suggest a rigorous skin care routine before you apply makeup. Cleansing, moisturizing, and exfoliating all help the skin hydrate and remain fresh. You can use a quick-absorbing primer so that the foundation does not mix with the moisturizer base and target only the areas where you see fine lines and wrinkles. Understand that there is no need for a lot of makeup to cover the blemishes and dry patches. You can also use a smooth gel-like or a hydrating foundation to conceal the fine lines lightly. Note that it is not possible to completely hide wrinkles unless you apply a heavy layer of makeup.

Use a concealer
The next step is to conceal. Use a quality concealer that blends in with the foundation layer to correct those dark circles. Concealers are excellent in hiding those under-eye bags and dark circles. But don’t go overboard with its application and try to maintain an even tone so that the makeup does not look heavy. There are several different shades you can experiment with depending on your skin tone. Also, after applying a concealer, use a makeup blender to spread the product evenly.

Accentuate the cheeks
The next step in makeup hacks for aging skin is adding some color back to balance the layers. Applying a rosy red color to the cheeks can bring back that youthful look and restore that radiant glow with a small but sufficient dab. Makeup helps mature skin look younger. Using a satin blush can help even out the color. Ensure that your strokes are outward, blending into the cheeks so that the color does not stand out from the rest of the foundation.

Highlight, line, and color
Concealers have another useful application in highlighting key spots of mature skin to bring back that youthful glow. Using a concealer that is a few shades lighter than your skin tone will easily help highlight a few spots to make the skin glow. You can then line your lips with a smooth application lip liner for the finishing touches and apply a decent layer of lipstick to color the pout. Check out different types of shades for these finishing touches to get the best results while applying makeup.

Lashing look!
Your makeup is incomplete without the final touch of mascara to really pump up the eyelashes’ volume. And for mature skin, purchase mascara formulated with essential oils and conditioning serum to soften and moisturize the eyelashes to get that voluminous, shiny look.
