A Five Step Beauty Routine for Mature Skin

Age makes you wiser, but wisdom lines are the last thing you may want to see on your face.

With proper skin care and an effective make-up routine, you can erase years from your face and sport a radiant flawless complexion for many years.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to stick to dark colors and heavy finishes. Rather, you just need to update your beauty products and application techniques to reveal a radiant and beautiful complexion. Little changes in your make-up routine can make a world of difference in your appearance.

Four Step Beauty Routine for Mature Skin

Step 1: Start with Concealer

With age, your skin loses moisture, becomes dry and starts to sag. In addition, any negligence in your skin care routine of the past will start to show on your skin in the form of fine lines, freckles and age spots. The best way to camouflage all these imperfections is to use a concealer.

Choose a concealer that matches your skin tone and dab it over trouble spots like under your eyes, on blemishes andpigmentation spots. Glo Minerals presents Glo Concealer Under Eye, a great concealer that hides dark under-eye circles and puffiness.

Step 2: Follow-Up with Foundation

Foundation is the best way to even out your skin tone. However, thick, matte foundation only serves to make the skin appear drier and accentuates the appearance of wrinkles. You should choose liquid or powder foundations according to your skin type and sapply it all over your face. You can even use a foundation brush to make sure you get even coverage all over.
Remember, choose a foundation that best matches your skin tone. If you apply a foundation that is too light or too dark, it can give a very unnatural appearance to your face. Glo Pressed Base Powder Foundation is a great choice.

Step 3: Apply Blush

Younger skin has a natural rosy tint to it. Unfortunately as we grow older, our natural skin tone fades and leaves behind a dull and pale complexion. This is why women with mature skin use blush. However, avoid choosing very dark colors as they make your skin look older. Instead, choose a color that compliments your skin tone so that you have a natural radiance on your face.

Use a blush brush and dab it over the blush cake. Then, apply it on the apples of your cheeks using slow circular motions, blending up and out towards the hairline. Mature skin tends to be on the drier side, so consider using gel and cream blushes that are more moisturizing than powder blush. It gives you a natural dewy appearance.

Glo Minerals Glo Blush is available in a variety of colors like Hibiscus, Spice Berry, Sweet and so on.

Step 4: Dress Up your Eyes

Eyes are the focal point of your face. With age, your eyes tend to sag and you may develop fine lines around your eye contours. This is why you need to dress up your eyes and make them look more bright and sparkling.

Start by applying a highlighter shade underneath your brow to brighten the eye area. You can use shades like cream, white, pale pink or sand shades. Then brush a neutral, matte shadow over the entire eyelid and follow it up by applying a deeper shadow in the crease. This gives your eyes a deep intense appearance. Glo Eye Shadow Trio, is a three-shade eye shadow pack that can instantly brighten up your eyes. Choose from among Natural, Copper, Sandstone or Posh!

After this, use a gel or cream eye liner and line your eyes carefully. Finish it up with dark brown or black mascara. Remember, your mascara should match with your hair color and not with the shade of your eye shadow.

Step 5: Get Luscious Lips

Experimenting with lip color is a great way to change your look. However, make sure you do it right. You can use a lipstick primer before applying color so that the shade stays in place. You can even dab on some gloss in the center of your bottom lip for extra fullness.
