7-Minute Everyday Makeup Look for Women Over 50
In this over 50 makeup tutorial, I’m going to show you my quick and natural everyday makeup look!
This is an effortless and beautiful makeup look for mature skin. Let’s get started.
The products I'm using today are from the Look Fabulous Forever range, made specifically for mature skin. However, you can achieve the same results with any brand of product.
Tools and materials:
- Hydrating serum
- Day cream
- Lip balm
- Foundation
- Face primer
- Beauty balm
- Translucent powder
- Eye primer
- Eyeshadow
- Mascara
- Blush
- Lipstick
- Tissues
- Makeup brushes
1. Moisturize your skin
Lock in as much moisture as possible into your skin before you apply your makeup.
I use both a hydrating serum and a day cream every day.
2. Apply lip balm
Apply a lip balm to add moisture to your lips. I’m using a colored one, but a clear one would be better.
3. Apply eye primer
Eye primer works to smooth out the eyelids and any discoloration that occurs. You only need the tiniest amount.
Pat it in with your fingertips, and leave it to settle while you address the rest of your face.
4. Mix foundation and primer, and apply it to your skin
To save time in the morning, I mix my foundation with a beauty balm and face primer together.
Use a foundation brush to mix everything on the back of your palm, and apply it to your skin.
Mixing the foundation with primer helps the foundation glide smoothly over the skin.
It’s important to spend more time putting on the foundation than anything else because it provides the base for the rest of the face.
5. Set
Set your foundation with translucent powder. Translucent powder helps to form a secure base for everything that goes on top to last all day.
6. Apply eyeshadow
For my everyday eyeshadow, I use a pewter gray color and apply it with a number 7 blending brush.
With the primer, the eyeshadow blends over smoothly.
7. Set your eyeshadow with translucent powder
Because I have droopy eyelids, and they tend to touch the upper part of my eye, I set my eyeshadow with translucent powder.
Dab it on and brush off the excess. This helps the eyeshadow stay put and not migrate during the day.
8. Apply mascara
Apply black waterproof mascara. I tend to just do my upper lashes.
9. Apply blush
Tap a bit of pink mid-tone blush on your cheek with your finger, then smooth it out with a blush brush.
10. Clean up your lips
Use clean tissue to wipe off excess lip balm and any foundation that’s trayed onto your lips.
11. Apply lipstick
Apply a single coat of soft plum lipstick.
Blot it, and then apply a second coat.
