Mature Make-Up Makeovers!

Primers are mature skin’s best friend. They fill in fine lines, brighten skin and diffuse small imperfections. A lid primer can hold shadow on loose lids and fight oils that build up in the folds of crepey lids. I recommend both a foundation primer and a lid primer as great skin prep.

Mature skin tends to be drier and appears less vibrant. Get that youthful glow back with a luminizer. Whether you choose a powder or liquid, a luminizer placed on the cheekbones, bridge of nose and temples adds a glow that looks natural and fresh.

While shimmer looks great on the skin, it can be very unflattering on a mature eye, drawing attention to crepey lids. Opt instead for sheen in the inner corners of the eyes and a satin or matte shade on the lids.

The lip area also shows signs of age, with the corners sagging a bit due to loss of volume and environmental factors (sun exposure and -- the worst culprit of all -- smoking), creating fine lines that can make stay-put lip color a challenge. To counter this, lightly brush a translucent powder over and just around your lips to fill in any lines. Then apply a lip liner in a shade that matches your lipstick. The wax in the pencil forms a border that will help keep your lipstick from sliding out of bounds.

The important thing about a mature makeup makeover is to stay fresh! Give the latest trends a try - just be mindful of the textures and prep that your skin needs to look its loveliest.

I always use primer, I currently am using Face Of Australia’s it’s good.

I bought the FOA primer because it was highly recommended. Either i didn’t apply it properly or the product didn’t live up to my expectations. I suspect it was my error. I have seen the difference using a primer. i don’t buy an eye primer, i just use the face one to prime my eyelids.
