Age-related changes don’t just show up as wrinkles. Women notice flabbiness and, in some cases, sagging after the age of fifty. The complexion has become dull, the features—most notably, the oval itself—have lost their clarity, and the skin has lost its youthful glow. Although makeup cannot totally remove these signs of aging, it can draw attention away from them.

The goal of lifting makeup is to give you a more youthful, refreshed appearance by drawing attention to your best features and gently sculpting your face. You can minimize aging signs, bring out your natural beauty, and look and feel your best with a more radiant, vibrant appearance by using the right products and techniques.

Simple rules for lifting makeup after 50

  • Intensively moisturize your face. This advice only at first glance has nothing to do with makeup. In fact, it is moisturizing that will allow you to overcome dullness. After all, its main cause is dry skin.
  • Add more products with a radiance effect to your makeup bag. Mix foundation with a drop of highlighter or apply it separately on cheekbones, under and above the eyebrow. Also try using a product with a radiance effect to mask dark circles under the eyes. All this will help rid your skin of its “earthy” shade.

  • Use contouring techniques. In particular, highlighting your cheekbones with bronzer. This will visually lift them, thereby returning clarity to the contours of your face.
  • Don"t forget about blush – it will add freshness to your face. Apply it to the “apples” of your cheeks, blending the color towards your temples. It is desirable that the blush is not matte, but with shimmering particles.

  • Skip the lower eyelid liner. It is better to focus on the upper ones. And find a mascara with an extra-long effect, and use a curler before applying.
  • The most advantageous choice for lip makeup is a transparent balm or a radiant gloss. This is necessary, again, in order to eliminate dullness – it is this that makes the signs of age more noticeable.

  • In general, you need to strive to ensure that all lines (whether it is on the eyelids or a sculpture diagonal on the cheekbones) sought up-this provides a lifting effect. This type of makeup, if you master the technique of its application, visually tightens the skin and returns clarity to the "floating" features of the face.

What you need to do lifting makeup at home

A basic set of products is sufficient for lifting makeup; special investments in a cosmetic bag are not necessary. However, textures will require extra attention from you. You’ll require:

  • Foundation. This product is preferable to powder – a matting effect is not needed in anti-aging makeup. On the contrary, you need to give the skin a glow, and only cream will help with this.
  • Blush. Choose with shimmer, shimmering. Another option is to stop at cream blush, which will look natural on the skin and, again, will provide it with a slight glow.
  • Highlighter. It is better if this product is liquid. Add it in small quantities to the foundation to enhance the effect of a healthy glow of the skin.
  • Eyeshadow. Basic palette with beige and brown colors – what needs. True, they should also have shimmer.
  • Pencil. Graphic eye makeup done with liquid black liner usually doesn’t look its best after 50. It would be better to soften the lines and avoid intense dark colors. Use a brown pencil to line your eyes.
  • Curler. This tool is a must have for use in age-related lifting makeup. With age, facial features are “pulled” downwards, and a curler will help to visually counteract this.

  • Mascara. Look for one that lengthens your eyelashes and gives them an elegant curve. It will “open up” your look.
  • Lip balm. Balm or gloss — choose to your taste. The main thing is that the product creates a wet shine effect on the lips.

How is lifting makeup applied? You will be able to comprehend the fundamental ideas and procedure with the aid of our instructions.

Using an angled brush and bronzer, adjust the features of your face by drawing diagonal lines beneath your cheekbones and blending them in seamlessly.

Apply highlights separately; they must be "placed" on the areas of the cheekbones above and below the eyebrows, on the "tick" above the upper lip, and on the upper portions of the cheekbones closer to the temples.

Use a pencil to lightly smoky or draw a line on the upper eyelids and shade it. Apply mascara after using an eyelash curler to curl the lashes.

Step Description
1. Skin Preparation Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply a primer to smooth out the skin and create a base for makeup.
2. Foundation Application Use a lightweight foundation for even coverage. Focus on blending upward to enhance the lifting effect.
3. Highlighting Apply a highlighter to the high points of your face, like the cheekbones and brow bones, to bring light and lift.
4. Contouring Use a contour shade under the cheekbones and along the jawline to define and lift the face.
5. Blush Apply blush slightly above the apples of the cheeks and blend it towards the temples to create a lifting effect.
6. Eye Makeup Focus on lifting the eyes by using lighter shades on the lids and deeper shades in the crease. Finish with upward strokes of mascara.
7. Lips Use a lip liner to slightly overline the lips, especially the upper lip, to give a fuller and lifted appearance.

Enhancing your inherent beauty by giving yourself a more youthful, refreshed look is the main goal of lifting makeup. You can achieve a look that enhances your features and gives you more confidence by using the appropriate techniques and products.

Recall that subtlety is the key to effective lifting makeup. Pay attention to highlighting your features, making sure everything blends together, and brightening your face. Don’t be afraid to try different things until you find what works best for you because practice makes perfect.

Lifting your makeup can be your go-to method for feeling and looking your best, whether you’re getting ready for a special event or just want to feel more put together in your everyday routine.
