Feel refreshed and rejuvenated with a little help from make-up!
We all want to feel beautiful, and with just a few clever make-up tricks, you can turn back the clock a little. The secret is in choosing the right products, techniques, and colours that highlight your natural beauty while softening the signs of aging. Here are four easy make-up tips to help you look younger and glow with confidence!
1. Start with a Fresh Base: Hydrate & Smooth
Healthy, hydrated skin is the foundation of a youthful appearance. The more moisturized your skin, the fewer fine lines and wrinkles you’ll see. Here’s how to prep:
- Moisturize well: Pick a nourishing moisturizer that suits your skin. Hydrated skin looks fresh, while dry spots can make you look tired.
- Use a primer: A good primer creates a smooth surface for your foundation and helps it last longer.
Pro Tip: Try our Mineral Primer Flawless Base for a flawless foundation application.
2. Foundation: Find Your Perfect Shade & Formula
The right foundation can brighten your complexion and make your skin look younger. Here’s how to choose the best one:
- Colour is key: Pick a foundation that blends seamlessly with your skin tone. It should look natural—not too heavy or cakey.
- Formula matters: Powder foundations can sometimes make older skin look dry. Opt for a lightweight, liquid foundation like Skin Perfection Hydrating Foundation for a radiant, dewy finish. It won’t weigh your skin down and gives a soft satin glow.
- Pressed powder: For more coverage, try Mineralissima’s compact foundation—perfect for covering blemishes or pigmentation spots quickly.
Pro Tip: Apply foundation in thin layers until you get the coverage you want. This helps avoid a heavy or cakey look.
3. Add a Healthy Flush with Blush
A bit of blush can bring back that natural, youthful glow. As we age, our skin often loses its vibrancy, but the right blush can restore it!
Where to apply: Gently apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend toward the temples for a subtle lifting effect.
Pro Tip: Avoid heavy contouring or dark blush. Go for light, upward strokes for a fresh, youthful look.
4. Brighten Your Eyes: Light Colours & Highlights
Our eyes can reveal a lot about our age—tired eyes or dark circles can make us look older than we are. But with a few make-up tricks, you can make your eyes look refreshed and bright:
- Light eye shadows: Skip the heavy, dark shades and choose soft, light colours like peach (eyeshadow Tender), champagne (eyeshadow Obsession), or beige (eyeshadow Cashew). These shades will open up your eyes.
- Highlight the inner corners: Apply a little highlighter (like highlighterVelvet) in the inner corners of your eyes to make them appear bigger and brighter.
- Go for a soft eyeliner: Choose a subtle brown eyeliner instead of black to avoid making your eyes look smaller. A gentle line above the lashes will open up your gaze..
Pro Tip: Don’t forget your lashes! A good mascara, like our All in One Miracle Lash, will give your lashes volume and length, making your eyes appear bigger and younger.
Bonus Tip: Show Off Your Lips!
While we’ve covered the essentials, one more area can really make a difference: your lips.
- Pick a fresh colour: A soft pink or peach, like Sunny lipstick or Rosewater lip gloss, will keep your lips looking full and youthful.
- Avoid matte formulas: Matte lipsticks can make your lips look dry. Instead, go for moisturizing or shiny formulas that give your lips a fuller, more youthful look.
Make Time Stand Still with Make-Up
With these simple tips, you can highlight your natural beauty and give your look a subtle refresh. It’s all about choosing the right products and applying them in ways that make your skin glow. Remember: great make-up starts with great skin care.
