However, applying lipstick can be challenging for women over 60. If it runs into the lip lines, it can make you look older or just plain bad. We'll explain to you how, with a few simple tricks, you can make up your thin lips perfectly and also prevent your lipstick from settling into the wrinkles around your lips.
How do lip wrinkles occur and what you can do about them
This is not only due to age, but also to lifestyle. If you are or have been a smoker, you definitely have wrinkles around your lips. Other causes include drinking through straws and even excessive sulking. The biggest culprit, however, is smacking or rubbing your lips together, which most women over 50 do after applying lipstick.

Make up your lips over 60 with lip liner
As we age, our lips lose color and volume. A lip liner is an excellent way to define and highlight the shape of your lips. You should not only pay attention to the color you choose, but also the way you apply it.
To make thin lips fuller, apply the lip liner outside the lip contour, not on the inside. This feels a bit “weird” the first few times, but it makes a big difference! Then apply lip liner to your entire mouth before applying lipstick. This improves the longevity of the lipstick.
If you really want to prevent your lipstick from settling into your lines, use a lip liner! It creates a barrier between your lips and the skin around them.
With a transparent lip liner you create an invisible protective line
Don't like colored lip liner? Then use an invisible one! Transparent lip liners have the same effect: the lipstick stays in place and doesn't run into the wrinkles. But the transparent contour pencil also has an additional advantage. Since it's invisible, you can use it above the lip line, which will make your mouth look fuller when you apply lipstick over it. Because it is colorless, it suits all skin tones and is therefore suitable for almost every woman.
Which lipstick color after 60?
Once you've figured out your skin's undertone, you can start searching for the lipstick color that will brighten your complexion, enhance your overall appearance, and potentially become a lifelong favorite or "signature" look.
With so many shades to choose from, make sure you use one that matches your natural lip color. If your natural lip color is on the dark side, you may need to go a shade lighter.
Avoid matte lipsticks and stick to lipsticks with a bit of shine. While matte formulas are long-lasting, they can dry out your lips and make you appear older. However, there is an exception. If you've fallen in love with a matte lipstick color, consider applying a gloss over it to add volume to your lips. You can find out more about thisread in this article.
