Flawless Foundation for Mature Skin

Who says mature skin can never look young? Well now it can,with makeup, and only if you use the right foundation. You'll need : 
  • moisturizer
  • whipped foundation
  • concealer
  • loose powder (optional).


Step 1
With a clean and toned face,apply an ample amount of moisturizer. This will help your foundation to go on smoothly. 


Step 2
With your palms or fingers,apply whipped foundation. Whipped foundation will fill in fine lines and wrinkles and will give you a slight glow. Mature skin tends to be dry so a foundation in a whipped formula would be best because it's somewhat not too dry but not too liquidy.


You can apply with a foundation brush if you dont want your hands dirty,but I just like using the warmth of my hands to push in the product more into my face. I find that it helps in absorbing the foundation and making it look more like my skinYou can also use a sponge. 


Step 3
Conceal problem areas like undereye circles and blemishes. Mature skin may also tend to be a bit more gray than when you were younger. It's wise to get a corrector that's in a pink or salmon shade to counteract the dullness. Then apply a yellow-based concealer with a patting motion.


Step 4
Mature skin will get dried up sooner after you had your makeup on so putting on powder is optional. If you're on the oilier side though and you look like a frying pan!,definitely dust loose powder. I recommend using a loose powder rather than the pressed powder cause the formula is more sheer and its lighter than the pressed ones which tends to feel heavy.
