Lipstick is one of the quickest ways to change your appearance. More importantly, the older you get, the more color you need. Are you no longer sure whether you are still using the right shade?

How should you care for your lips?
When you're looking for a lipstick, there are two important things to consider: color and texture. The color should match your skin tone and the texture must feel comfortable on your lips and not bleed into the surrounding skin or fine lines.
If you find that your lips are prone to dryness and your lipstick is constantly running, you should make sure you use lipsticks with a creamy texture or tinted lip balms.

We have compiled the best colors for older women and we present them to you. Enjoy perfect lips, regardless of your age or skin type!
With a pink lipstick you are always on the right track
A hydrating shade of pink or coral with medium tint is universally flattering on mature lips and will keep your lips looking fresh and vibrant without being overpowering.
In general, cooler pink tones suit lighter skin, while warmer pink tones suit darker skin better. So if you are fair-skinned, consider pinks and light corals and stay away from browns. Those with medium skin tones can go a little darker. So you can try rose, mauve and berry tones. The dark skinned women look great in red, brown and dark plum.
When can you choose lipstick in neutral tones after 60?
A good lipstick for an older woman can have neutral undertones that enhance her natural lip and skin tones. Soft nude tones and more natural lip colorscan aging lipsMake you look younger because they can give the illusion of a pout.
However, these colors are difficult to wear because nude lipsticks can wash out the lips, or worse, blend them into the cheeks and chin. When it comes to neutrals and nudes, it's always better to choose a shade that's just a little darker than your natural lip color.
Which lipstick to choose after 60? The dark colors are not forbidden after all
Do you think that bold or dark lipsticks are not suitable for you after 60? Then think again.
As long as you choose the right shade (depending on your skin tone) and your lips are not too thin, which would make a dark color make you look severe, you can wear bolder colors.
Bright bold hues are especially stunning when wearing glasses, as a bold lip can offset the heaviness of some frames. Just remember to tone down your eye makeup and blush if you've emphasized your lips.
What can you do about wrinkled lips?
Do you have wrinkled lips? Then avoid matte or shimmery shades as they will only reinforce the lines. Instead, try the same color in a creamy formula or a hydrating sheer texture. Another reason to avoid matte lipsticks for mature lips is that they can be drying and make wrinkles worse.
A thin layer of face primer on dry lips will also keep your lipstick fresh and strong all day and prevent it from seeping into the fine lines around the mouth.
A gloss finish or lip oil can also temporarily “plump” the lips and keep you looking great for the day. However, at night, dab a touch in the center of your lips over your lipstick to make the lips appear fuller, poutier and add a subtle shine. However, the lip gloss tends to slip and can settle into any lines around the lips. And if you have long hair and wear it down, it can be annoying to have your strands constantly sticking to your glossy lips.
