Makeup Tutorial for Women Over 50: How to Conceal Redness on the Face

Follow along with this tutorial to learn how to conceal redness on your face.

This technique is especially good if you are over 50, and trying to cover your rosacea with makeup.

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.

1. Prepare your face

Start with a clean and moisturized face.

Use eye primer, lip primer, and face primer to ensure a smooth base for your makeup.

2. Neutralize redness

If you have redness, use a green color balance neutralizer. There's also a peach version for neutralizing bluish tones around the eyes.

Dab the product onto the red areas using the applicator.

Then use your fingers to smooth it out and ensure it penetrates the skin. Let it dry for a few moments.

3. Apply concealer

Use concealer number one with a concealer brush.

Apply it to areas needing extra coverage, such as your cheeks and nose (especially if you have age spots).

4. Set with translucent powder

Use a translucent powder with a number one brush to set the concealer and balance the complexion.

5. Apply eyeshadow

Choose pink neutral shades to complement your outfit.

Apply the lightest shade on the lid.

Apply the medium shade in the socket line for a natural look.

Blend the colors with a blending brush to ensure a smooth transition.

6. Apply mascara

Use black waterproof mascara, especially if your eyes tend to water.

Apply one coat to your upper lashes, and apply a light coat to your lower lashes.

7. Don’t forget lipstick

Although many might choose a nude shade, opt for a bright color if that makes you feel more like yourself.

Apply a bright fuchsia lipstick straight from the bullet to give your face a lively pop of color.
