Regardless of our age – every woman wants to look pretty and as fresh as possible. The most beautifulCompany Christmas party outfitswe have already shown you. To complete your look, festive make-up for women over 50 should not be missing.
There are no rules about how you should wear makeup after a certain age - as long as you feel comfortable in your skin and the makeup fits your style, absolutely anything is allowed.
Prepare the skin
As we age, our skin changes dramatically and loses more and more elasticity and tone. The complexion also becomes uneven and fine lines and wrinkles become more visible. No matter whether for festive make-up or for everyday life - a primer is an absolute must for all women over 50. This evens out the complexion and makes all impurities, shadows and redness visually disappear. So before you start putting on makeup, wear it firsta good baseon. And no, it doesn't necessarily have to be a foundation - light CC or BB creams also even out the complexion and look much more natural.
Subtile Smokey-Eyes
When it comes to a glamorous and elegant appearance, smokey eyes are our undisputed number one! But for festive make-up for women over 50, we prefer a pretty dark or medium brown. Tones that are too dark, such as black, make the eyes appear smaller and are unsuitable for people of a certain age.
Brown tones, on the other hand, make us look younger in no time and make our eyes shine beautifully. However, if you like something a little more dramatic, then go for smokey eyes in black and brown. A little beauty trick - to conceal droopy eyelids, apply the eyeshadow to the movable eyelids. A mascara completes the look perfectly and creates more volume and length.
A touch of glitter
While the nude look is always a good choice for everyday life, around Christmas it can be a little more eye-catching. After all, the turn of the year is always something very special and we all want to start the new year with a glamorous appearance, right? So how about spicing up your festive makeup with a generous dose of glitter?
Shimmering eyeshadows enhance even the simplest make-up and provide an elegant touch. Just remember that too much glitter will accentuate wrinkles, so a touch of shimmer will do the trick. True to the motto “less is more”, it would be best if you only emphasized one part - for example just the complexion or the eyes.
Eyeliner for women over 50
Festive make-up without eyeliner? We can't even imagine! A fine eyeliner emphasizes our eyes and always looks stunning! However, note that ablack eyelinerseems far too hard and often settles in the wrinkles. Shades of brown or even a soft sky blue open the eye and make us look a few years younger. You should also emphasize the line between the eye and eyelashes with light colors. If you are not sure which eyeliner is right for you, remember the following rule of thumb - the lighter the eyes and eyelashes are, the lighter the color should be.
Bright lips for a wow effect
Leave the nude lipstick in the drawer because we're going to brighten up our lips for the holidays. Festive makeup for women over 50 in combination with red lipstick looks really stunning. Red lips are always a great statement and ensure a glamorous appearance in no time.
If you like it a little more reserved, then you are in good hands with soft pastel pink. Lipsticks with a matte, velvety finish in particular feel super festive and are extremely popular this year. A little tip - since bright lips are a great eye-catcher in themselves, we advise you to keep the rest of your make-up subtle.
