Leather

First of all, you need to prepare the skin and give it fresh and healthy look... Charlotte usually applies her “Magic Cream” to her face, neck and even décolleté, which has an anti-aging and lifting effect. You can also use your favorite moisturizer. And do not forget to monitor the water balance of the body, because you can fill the skin with moisture from the inside.

If the skin has redness or dark spots, then you cannot do without foundation and primer. Choose a cream that is lighter than your skin tone (this is youthful!) And apply it in a thin layer using your fingers or a brush. When the skin is well hydrated and nourished, the cream lays down very easily, and the primer will prevent it from clogging up pores and wrinkles. Eye circles and imperfections on the skin are additionally masked with a concealer. Fixing the creamy textures of foundations will help compact powder. Uniform application a special domed brush will provide.

Eyes

For the eyes, you need to create a decent frame, but since the skin of the eyelids after 40 years loses its elasticity and becomes a little flabby, then about sophisticated techniques better to forget. Our main task is to open our eyes and give it a natural expressiveness. Charlotte suggests curling your eyelashes first and then applying smokey ice makeup using delicately shimmery shadows. natural shades... After that, line the upper and lower eyelids with a soft pencil and paint over the lashes with black mascara.

Face

Use a bronzer or sculpting blush to work on the line of the cheekbones and chin. For a youthful glow, apply the highlighter to the most high points cheekbones. In addition to a seductive shine, it will also allow you to achieve the visual effect of a face lift.

Do not forget about the blush. With age, the apples of the cheeks do not lose volume, and blush of any shade looks good on the face. For this image choose sand shade blush.

Lips

Since lips become thinner with age, lip liner to match the lipstick will help give them a plump look and shape. Apply it with soft, abrupt lines around the outline. Then use the brush to paint over the lips with a soft natural shade and gloss for a volume effect.

What will help a woman to disguise her age without resorting to injections, plastics and expensive cosmetic procedures? Makeup done right, of course. Often mature ladies, having crossed the border of 40 years, make the mistake of continuing to paint in the same way as a dozen years ago. With age, makeup acquires features that must be taken into account in order not only to visually lose years, but also not to look funny.

Features of makeup in adulthood

After 40, the skin begins to dull and lose elasticity. Closer to age 50, it becomes more and more difficult to hide. Therefore, in order to stop the fading of beauty, it is necessary to use high-quality, hypoallergenic cosmetics that are appropriate age category... Also, we must not forget about some of the nuances.

  • Blush. Applying a natural blush significantly refreshes the face. Choose pale pink, peach, beige shades... Bronze and dark tones only add years.
  • Foundation. To make your skin look fresh and radiant even after 40, you need to choose a cream that is lighter in tone. A product with a light texture will lay flat and will not create a mask effect. Give preference better cream on the water based with high level UV protection. Not worth applying a lot foundation... Otherwise, the skin will acquire greasy shine... A special corrective cream will make reddish blood vessels less visible. It is applied under the base. Pigmentation and wrinkles are masked with concealer.
  • Powder. It is used to dull oily sheen. It is enough to apply it on the forehead and wings of the nose with wide tassel... For masking wrinkles better fit loose powder... If the skin is dry, which is closer to 50 years is not uncommon, then the use of powder is not recommended.
  • Shadows. The first wrinkles after 40 appear in the eyes. Therefore, you need to choose light shadows. The darker the shadows, the more visible the wrinkles will be. Blue and purple shades will enhance the effect of bruises under the eyes. It is also best not to use white shadows.
  • Black mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, pencil should be replaced with softer gray and brown. If the eyelids have a lot of wrinkles, they look edematous, then it is better not to use eyeliner. The depth of the look will be given by neatly shaded shadows or a pencil.
  • Do not get carried away with dyeing the lower eyelashes. It is enough to select a third at the outer corners.
  • Do not pluck your eyebrows too thin.

Even out the tone of the face and hide the wrinkles

Rejuvenating makeup is, first of all, an even foundation. 15-20 minutes before applying the foundation, the skin should be cleaned and lubricated with a moisturizer. Vessels, unwanted pigmentation, bruises are hidden by concealer. After that, foundation is applied. Finally, you can powder a little.

At the age of 50, unfortunately, it will not work to get rid of wrinkles with the help of a tonal foundation. But you need to work out the problem areas near the mouth and eyes. It is necessary to apply a light base and with short strokes, gently "drive" the foundation in the area of ​​the folds.

Draw the eyebrows

By the age of 50, the hairs become lighter and thinner. Eyebrows lose their beauty, becoming invisible. First you need to give them correct shape... "Threads" are not relevant for a long time, and too wide eyebrow arches create unkempt... The ideal thickness is medium. The color of the eyebrow pencil should either match the hair color or a little lighter. Comb the hairs and apply strokes with neat light movements where they are lighter or thinner. Then comb the eyebrows again and blend the pencil, achieving the desired shade and density. And now a few recommendations for eyebrow dyeing.

  • The eyebrows should be in the form of a comma. Mature woman does not go round form... The expression on the face becomes silly.
  • The outer edge of the brow arch should not be below the corners of the eyes. Otherwise, the expression on your face will be sad.
  • Do not draw a clear line on your eyebrows. It is better to do this with strokes, trying to repeat the natural line.
  • Shadows will help you achieve better effect than a pencil.



Bringing back youth to the eyes

In order not to emphasize the wrinkles that have appeared, ladies over 40 should not paint their eyes too intensely. Makeup should be calm. Avoid oily eyeshadows. Blocking in the folds of the skin, they create a sloppy look. You also need to forget about sparkles, pearlescent and very bright shades shadows.

For the eye contour, it is better to use gray or brown pencil... It is worth forgetting about the bold lines of the eyeliner. A thin arrow is enough. Shadows pastel shade should be applied in one layer, you can lightly powder. With age, the eyelids begin to overhang a little, so the eyelashes should be painted in one layer so as not to make the look heavy.

Now about some of the nuances of age-related eye makeup.

  • It is better to replace the eyeliner with shaded shadows or a pencil. They look more neat and give the look more expressiveness and depth.
  • Avoid reddish brown. It makes the eyes sore and tired.
  • All lines must be ascending. Otherwise, the eyes will be dull. To visually lift the eyelid, its outer corner must be emphasized with a darker shade.
  • It is advisable to apply the tonal foundation also under the eyes and on the upper eyelid, especially on inner corners eye.
  • Light matte shadows applied under the eyebrow will help restore freshness to the look.



Choosing a lipstick for age-related makeup

Those over 50 are familiar with the problem of small wrinkles in the lip area. Therefore, the lipstick should be chosen very carefully. Better stop at matte texture and natural shades.

If the wrinkles near the lips are small, you need to apply foundation, affecting the outline of the mouth. After that, carefully emphasize the contour and apply lipstick with a brush. The pencil should match the color of the lipstick.

At deep wrinkles that are difficult to mask with foundation, contour pencil you should not use, and replace the lipstick with a natural shade of gloss.

To create a youthful look, it is best to use coral or pink. Too pale tones will make the face expressionless, and bright ones will focus on wrinkles.

Makeup instructions

In order not to miss anything, we suggest step by step instruction applying makeup at home for women over 40 years old.

  • Masking problem areas... We apply tonal basis without forgetting about the eyelids, earlobes and neck. There should be no sharp transition boundaries.
  • With pencil strokes or shadows, we emphasize the line of the eyebrows and shade.
  • We select shadows. Stylists recommend at the age of 40-50 years to use beige pale pink, silvery green, light gray, golden, pearl. To keep the eyes expressive, the shadows should be chosen so that they do not repeat the iris of the eyes. Brown-haired women with brown eyes golden shades, light turquoise, cold brown will do. Ladies with fair skin and with your eyes it is better to choose a pastel scale - blue, gray-blue, lilac. Brunettes can give up shadows altogether. They just need to look up. Blondes with dark eyes can try bronze, brown, beige tones... Apply to the upper eyelid light shade from the beginning of the growth of eyelashes to eyebrows. After that, apply a dark shade to the movable eyelid. To make the look expressive, you need to emphasize brown or gray pencil lower eyelid.
  • We paint the eyelashes with brown or black mascara in one layer.
  • Blush in the form of a cream shade better. They are applied to the cheekbones from bottom to top and shaded.
  • Cover the area near the lips with foundation, draw a contour and apply lipstick with a brush. IN everyday makeup it is better to use glitter.

Woman in her 40s usually looks quite attractive... However, certain age changes still make themselves felt.

Important advice from the editor

If you want to improve the condition of your skin, Special attention it is worth giving to the creams that you use. Scary figure - in 97% of creams famous brands there are substances that poison our body. The main components, due to which all the troubles on the labels are designated as methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, E214-E219. Parabens negatively affect the skin and can also cause hormonal imbalance... But the worst thing is that this muck gets into the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in the organs and can cause cancer. We advise you not to use the products that contain these substances. Recently, experts from our editorial office conducted an analysis natural creams, where the first place was taken by funds from the Mulsan Cosmetic company - a leader in the production of completely natural cosmetics... All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems. We recommend visiting the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date, it should not exceed one year of storage.

Daily make-up rules

Day makeup for women over 40 should look as natural as possible and does not take much time, but its task is to hide flaws and emphasize advantages. The rules for its creation will be as follows:

  1. Cleanse and moisturize your skin first.
  2. Apply to the area of ​​the nasolabial folds and under the eyes corrector.
  3. A darker tone powder can be used for light sculpting the face... Use it to darken the hairline, the area under the cheekbones and the distance from the chin to the neck.

  9. Contour the lips with a pencil, as much as possible close to natural color , blend it.
  10. Finish up with applying nude lipstick.

Such makeup does not imply an emphasis on either the lips or the eyes. His zest- in perfectly clean and smooth skin.

What should be the evening look?

evening make-up should be more expressive than daytime, but an abundance of cosmetics and bright colors still not allowed. You can use warm pastel shades to create beautiful transitions.

  1. To mask the vascular network on the face, you can use greenish tint corrector.
  2. The skin needs to be perfectly clean, so take care of masking imperfections and creating tone.

  3. Highlight the cheekbones with peach or beige blush, which have creamy texture.
  4. For eye makeup, you can use golden brown or ash gray depending on the color type. Take three shadow colors that are close to each other. The lightest will be located at the inner edge of the eye and under the eyebrows, the middle one - in the center of the eyelid, and the darkest one should highlight the edge of the eye.

Errors in creation

In the process of creating makeup, you can make mistakes that will not rejuvenate you, but, on the contrary, will add several years. The most common among them are the following:

  • too much thick layer foundation... Looks heavy and focuses on flaws. In age-related makeup, one layer is enough. Excess it can be blotted with a paper towel;
  • too much bright colors ... They will look ridiculous and can emphasize age;
  • pearlescent shadows... After 40 it is recommended to use matte dry eyeshadow;
  • colorless lip gloss... Better to choose matte gloss or lipstick;
  • black eyeliner... It must be used very carefully, and it is better to replace it with gray or brown;
  • an abundance of powder. It should be used only when necessary to hide the oily sheen;
  • abundance of mascara... Paint lower eyelashes not necessary at all;
  • When painting over the upper ones, try to blink a few times - this is enough to a small amount of paint remained on the lower eyelashes.

  • too much thin eyebrows ... The unnatural thread only emphasizes age. Too thick and too "drawn" eyebrows, believe me, will not decorate you either.

In addition to all that has already been said for women over 40 who want look young and attractive, makeup artists advise the following recommendations:

  1. Your makeup bag should contain BB cream.

    Also, thanks to them, you can hide certain skin imperfections, for example, fine wrinkles and adjacent vessels.

This is really amazing. Step by step, every brush stroke, every movement of the makeup artist - all this, like magic, reveals to us the full power of cosmetics. Below, after a few tips, you can see the process itself in more detail - anti-aging rejuvenating makeup for someone over 40 - a photo step by step from Angie.

Correct anti-aging skin treatment

The skin of a 40-year-old woman needs special care - constant hydration and nutrition. The main principle of choosing a cream is to maximize products for your skin type and your age.
For 40-year-olds, some companies are developing a whole line of products, which includes day and night creams, milk for removing makeup, eye cream, various tonics, etc. It is very important to understand that a cream for young skin no longer works, but also not needed yet.

It is important to remember: you need to apply makeup on well-moisturized skin, otherwise any base or foundation will stick to the wrinkles and only accentuate them.

Creating the right makeup for women over 40 - step by step photo

Correct face contouring can significantly hide imperfections, thereby reducing you at least ten years. On the Internet, there are many step by step instructions, however, Angie, who has stepped over her 50-year milestone (hotandflashy50.com), did the best with this task on her blog - she got an excellent step-by-step detailed instructions with photo and detailed description- a real treasure for women over 40. Photos before and after makeup can be found at the end of the article.

Properly applied makeup can:

  • Visually remove a sagging chin,
  • Tighten saggy cheeks
  • Reduce nasolabial folds,
  • Smooth the contour of the nose,
  • Raise your cheekbones
  • Reduce bags under the eyes.
  1. Angie uses NYX Cream Highlight & Contour Palette in Light. If you don't have a contour palette, you can use 3 base shades to achieve the same effect. If you're just starting out, the NYX palette is an inexpensive way to experiment (but Angie finds gel bases a little stiff and not as easy to mix as she would like).

  2. Before applying the contour, Angie recommends using a primer and letting it brew for a few minutes. Each face is different, but the basic shape is the accentuated heart shape from the eyes to the point of the chin.
    Then we move on to contouring, and start with a selection, using a pale (matte) shade with right side palette and the first brush from the left.
  3. To reduce eye sacs: Paint a line from the inner corner of the eye along the dark side and up to the cheek. Better to avoid applying heavy makeup right under the eyes, where we have wrinkles, because it makes us look older.
  4. To tone the nose: draw a line in the center of the nose and along the edge to the cheek, leaving a gap between them, as in the photo below.

  5. To raise the cheekbones: paint with a brush (using the same light tone) the outer V from the top of the cheekbone, starting from the pupil outside the corner of the eyebrow and up to its top (as in the photo). Adding highlighting helps to improve the appearance and remove facial fatigue that comes with age.
  6. To reduce nasolabial folds: Paint along the deepest part of the fold, following the outline from the nose to the corner of the mouth.

    If you have deep mimic wrinkles, today many companies produce wrinkle fillers (not to be confused with the base), which do an excellent job of eliminating this deficiency.

  7. To reduce wrinkles: paint over pale shade in the deepest part of the wrinkled line from the corner of the mouth to the chin.

    As a result, you should get the following:

  8. To lift the chin, draw a line along the chin from ear to ear under the jaw - this is a clear line for the jawline.

    On the this moment it looks scary, but we are going to combine the colors and apply foundation to natural effect... For this we need to use the wide brush from the set.

  9. First, with gentle round movements, blend the lighter areas, then wipe the brush and proceed to the dark ones.
    For those who want to round their cheeks, use the same brush to pull part of the tip of the cheekbone forward and align it to the nose, but do not bring it to the very nostril (see photo below).

  10. The next step is to apply a foundation - not dense, but not liquid either. To do this, we use a sponge, which will help not to mix the traced contours and perfectly cope with the task.

    After application tonal face already looks more natural, but now looks a bit like a mask.
    The last steps are powder, blush and bronzer.

  11. Apply blush with a special brush, starting high on the cheekbone and pull out a line to the center of the eye, then shade it (blush line) with a contour.
    The problem area - the part of the cheek between the nasolabial fold and the cheekbones - has lost its shape and does not look very good (sagging skin), and this does not need to be emphasized! However, blush will reflect light and optically "blur" problem areas (including sagging skin), making them fuller and visually lifting.
    You can add a little blush above each eyebrow, in the center of the nose, and also in the corners of the lips.

    An optional last step is to darken the contours with a bronzer.
    Makeup is complete. Compare the before and after photos.
