Applying makeup on mature skin doesnโt exactly have the same rules as makeup for younger skin. There are a lot of physical changes that women have to consider plus theyโll need the right type of makeup to highlight their features and hide their flaws.
Start with a primer
Using a primer is a must for mature skin because it can help smoothen and hide fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discoloration. A primer will also help the makeup stay on the face.

Build definition at the corner of the eye
Definition is built with small circles and makes sure to blend the colors evenly. Apply only a little at first and use more as you build the definition. Remember to blend the colors.

Add a primer layer
Before applying foundation, apply primer first. Use this product in areas where there are fine lines. The primer will also help keep the foundation in place on top of the primer.

Apply a lighter shade of concealer
When applying concealer, apply it on the high points of the face. Apply it on top of the cheekbones, the corners of the mouth, above the lip, and on the bridge of her nose. Apply concealer with the same shade of the skin under the inner corner of the eyes and blend outward. Keep one part of the cheekbone lighter because it elongates the face and defines the cheekbone.

Always apply setting powder because your makeup is in place. Do you know the areas where it gets too shiny? Apply the powder there.

For a more dramatic look, add fake eyelashes
With mature women, the eyelashes would have become thinner and skimpier. False eyelashes will make it look longer and open up your eyes.
