Hydrating moisturizer and primer
When looking for creams, be sure to look for products like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and collagen, which will really help your skin look hydrated and moisturized. If you want your makeup to look perfect, you need to use a primer. It evens out the pigmentation of the skin, makes the foundation easier to apply and delays the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Primers are also available for lips and eyelids to prevent lipstick from running and eyeshadow from fading.
When choosing a primer, you should do your research because they are available for every skin type. Products that target dry skin or those that reduce the appearance of pores may be useful to you. Remember that your skin changes with age and menopause. If you're unsure about your skin type, head to your local department store's beauty counters for advice (and, of course, request free samples).
Day make-up from 50 – suitable foundation for mature skin
Applying foundation is the next step after prepping your skin. A dewy complexion can be achieved with a light foundation, BB or CC cream. However, a foundation that lasts all day can be a savior for those suffering from menopausal sweats.
Emphasize eyebrows
Well-groomed eyebrows can actually make you look younger - they accentuate your best features and draw attentionon your eyes. Take a brush and draw on your eyebrows. Afterwards you can fill them up. Finally, dab a little brow gel on each brow to keep everything in place.
Mascara is a must
Get the best mascara. Applying mascara is a must if you want your eye makeup to look well-groomed. Any dark mascara is suitable for casual daytime make-up. The type of mascara depends on the effect you want to achieve. Look for mascaras with less densely packed bristles if you're going for a more volumizing effect. Closely spaced bristles and smaller brushes provide greater separation.

Instead of powdered blush that clings to dry patches or causes wrinkles, cream blush is a godsend for older skin. Just put a dot on your grin lines, blend it over the apples and smile! Caution: You want a healthy blush, so don't apply too much.
Highlighter as desired
Lightly dust a highlighter stick over your cheekbones, where the light naturally reflects off your face, to enhance the illusion of high cheekbones (or to accentuate your naturally prominent cheekbones, if you're so blessed!) The skin looks like Application radiant and healthy and receives a subtle shimmer. The versatility and ease of use of a highlighter pen make it ideal for this task.
Lipliner and gloss for your lips
Use a lip liner and a plumping gloss to keep your lips looking their best. Lip liner is back and better than ever. Use a lip liner that exactly matches your lip tone to enhance your natural lip color. You can then apply a plumping gloss, which not only gives your lips more volume but also a beautiful shade.
