HOW TO: MAKEUPFOR MATURE SKIN
As your skin matures, you may find you want to adapt your makeup routine to suit new contours and address the changing needs of your skin. We recommend trying a makeup routine that focuses on hydrating the skin with lightweight products that give a healthy, youthful look.
01. SKINCARE AND MAKEUP PREP
Before delving into makeup application, it’s important to emphasise skincare. A consistent skincare routine that addresses your specific concerns, will create the perfect canvas for your makeup. The first step is to gently cleanse and moisturise to ensure a smooth application and prevent makeup clinging to any dry areas. Our Clarifying Cleansing Balm contains hydrating and soothing ingredients such as Coconut, Baobab and Tsubaki Oil. These ingredients hydrate and nourish the skin, whilst supporting the skin barrier. We would also recommend using a gentle exfoliator 1-2 times a week to rejuvenate skin and promote cell renewal. In addition, prep the skin around your eyes ready for any makeup application. Gently swipe our Bright Eyed Revitalising Balm onto your entire eye area, including the upper lids. Pat in the excess to instantly de-puff, hydrate and soothe the skin around your eyes.
Follow with our Smoothing Face Prep Primer, which will work to lock-in the hydrating properties of your moisturiser. It leaves a silky veil on the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and open pores. Packed with Matrixyl 3000, an advanced peptide complex, this powerhouse primer also provides a visibly firming and plumping effect to the skin, ideal for makeup application.
02. ACE YOUR BASE
For foundation, a lightweight, buildable formula is best suited for mature skin to avoid product resting in any fine lines or open pores. Depending on what coverage and finish you’re after, we have a few options.
Our Skin Secret Cream Tint SPF 25 is best for those who prefer a light coverage with a natural finish. This product delivers long-lasting hydration and protection from everyday UV exposure. The sheer, natural, skin-loving formula with micro-encapsulated pigments is designed to restore radiance for a supple, smooth and luminous complexion.
If you’d prefer a little more coverage with the same natural finish and skincare benefits, try our Skin Loving BB Cream SPF 15. This beauty balm is a 3-in-1 perfecting powerhouse, serving as a moisturiser, primer and foundation. Delivering sheer to medium coverage with skin-loving ingredients, to enhance and care for your skin.
If a medium to buildable coverage is more your thing, our best-selling Flawless Face Base Foundation is a great all-rounder – an adaptable liquid foundation that is enriched with light-reflecting particles and antioxidant ingredients to help protect your skin. If you’re after a little more coverage from the get-go, our Velvet Radiance Face Base Foundation may be your perfect match. Its weightless formula delivers medium to buildable coverage, with a silky and glowing finish that helps to hydrate, tone and firm your skin.
We always recommend using a brush to apply foundation for the most even and flawless finish. Try our Special Finish Brush for a lighter coverage finish, or our Miracle Base Brush for a fuller coverage finish.
03. CONCEAL WITH CARE
Concealers are your best friends for camouflaging dark circles, age spots, and redness. The light reflecting particles in our Pure Wonder Brightener will brighten under eyes and shadowed areas of smile and frown lines. Our Velvet Radiance Concealer offers fuller coverage for any specific areas of concern such as hyperpigmentation or broken capillaries.
