Many women over 50 notice that their skin becomes paler and looks somewhat dull or pale. With the right makeup products andsome beauty tricksHowever, it is easy to put on make-up properly after 60 and give your skin back its fresh, youthful appearance. We'll tell you how blush and bronzer can be used together to restore radiance to your tired and dull looking skin and add a touch of color to your complexion.
Make-up properly after 60: apply bronzer like a professional
A light bronzer works wonders against dull skin and creates a healthy, shimmering complexion. The important thing is: don't overdo it.
Women often tend tovery large powder brushUse for bronzer. That's not a good idea. A large brush distributes the bronzer all over the face and does not allow for precision when applying it. Instead, go for a smaller blush brush or a slanted contour brush. This way you have more control over where you apply the product.
Pick up a little bronzer with the brush and tap off the excess. Then apply the bronzer to your forehead using circular movements along the hairline. Add a little more bronzer to the jawline to emphasize the jawline. Don't forget to apply some bronzer to your neck too to even out any color differences! After framing the face, bring the cheekbones to the forefront. To do this, apply the bronzer exactly below the cheekbones.
Bonus tip – you can also use cream bronzer!
If you are not a fan of powder products, you can also opt for a cream version. To make your own cream bronzer, mix some bronzing powder with your primer or foundation. Then you can use a foundation brush or your fingertips to spread the bronzer evenly over the forehead, nose, under the cheekbones and on the chin.
Blush provides a fresh look
After applying bronzer, you have already created a beautiful glow and revived your tired, dull skin. But bronzer alone isn't enough to add some color to your cheeks. For this you need blush.
For many women over 60, powder blush is simply no longer the right choice. In fact, powder can make your skin look dry and make you appear older. So avoid powder blush and instead choose a cream blush.
Correct application is the be-all and end-all. Apply a dab of cream blusher to the apples of your cheeks and smudge it outward in a circular motion with your finger. Then apply a light powder. This way you maintain the beautiful shine of the cream and the longevity of the powder. A cream blush usually doesn't last long, but the powder sets it.
