How should you do your makeup to look younger? What are the tricks to follow to the letter to take years off? We tell you everything you need to know.
Use a light-covering concealer
Opt for very light-covering correctors to hide wrinkles. Professional makeup artist Cristina Lobato recommends using a shade lighter than your own skin. Fill in wrinkles with a small amount of concealer, then blend by blotting with a sponge or your fingertips. It is very important to avoid excess product.
To camouflage dark circles, choose a salmon-colored concealer with light coverage. With mature skin, it is also common to have some redness. These can be hidden with a beige concealer with a yellow undertone, the rest of the blemishes produced by the passage of time are covered with the makeup base itself as one of its main functions is to unify the skin tone .
Light covering anti-aging foundations
The makeup base should have a low coverage to give the skin a juicy and healthy look. The most suitable bases are antiage. These have a firming effect that softens expression lines and helps to even out the skin tone. To achieve a rejuvenating effect, foundations should be lightly opaque so that they have a radiant and healthy appearance. Choose a shade that is as close to your skin tone as possible for a natural effect.
Use a makeup base darker than the rest of the face to hide volume or style the double chin. Apply from the jawline and blend to the décolletage, making sure to mix the product well to avoid a mask effect. Then apply bronzing powder in a natural shade, if possible completely matte.
Eyes makeup
In this case, less is more. Cristina Lobato recommends paying special attention to the eyebrows, the loss of thickness is a clear sign of the passage of time, therefore a well-styled eyebrow rejuvenates a lot. “Fill in and draw in the brows. I recommend using a retractable eyeliner with a very fine tip as it gives more density but gives an extremely natural finish. It is important to choose long-lasting formulas that are resistant against moisture. To finish, apply a light shadow under the brow arch,” he says.
Choose matte eyeshadows in natural colors, beige, pink, light gray, etc. If the eyelid is not very wrinkled, we can use eye pencil, but drawing a very fine line and without any angle. To outline the eyes at a certain age, we ignore the black color, it is better to use brown shades that will soften the look and give freshness.
“Before applying the shadows, it is important to use an eye primer to fill in the creases that form in the lids, I recommend going for the most neutral shades. After a certain age, it is advisable to regularly and continuously waterproof products. If we are going to make up the eye more than usual, we will first apply a few eye drops to moisturize,” Cristina Lobato concludes.
