1. Prep your skin
Start your mature skin care with an uplifting, plumping serum that gives your skin lots of hydration.
Apply this hydrating serum all over your face.
Don’t forget your neck.
2. Apply moisturizer
Use a moisturizing sculpting cream, which is especially good for loose and sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Apply the moisturizer to your face and neck, by moving in an upward direction.
3. Lift and smooth your eyelids
Take care of any looseness around your eyelids with a lid lifting cream.
Tap the cream all over your eyelids, right up to your brow bone.
4. Prime your eyelids
Use skin-toned cream eyeshadow as an eyelid primer.
If you don’t have eyelid primer, and don’t want to buy it, you can use concealer instead.
Set your primer, or concealer, with a translucent powder, so your eyeshadow doesn’t stick to the cream.
The goal of this step is to even out the color of your eyelids, remove redness, and create a barrier between your eyelid skin and your eyeshadow.
5. Ready for eyeshadow
I reach for this brown matte palette a lot because of its perfect contour and highlight shades. It gives a natural eye makeup look.
Apply a mid-tone shade with a crease brush to the crease of your eyelids.
If you have a large space between your lash line and eyebrows, then you can apply this contour shade a little higher above your crease as well.
That will create the illusion of larger eyelids.
Now, apply a skin-toned eyeshadow to your lids, to open them up.
Blend it out with a large, fluffy crease brush.
6. Add eyeliner
There are two goals for your eyeliner. The first is to keep your liner narrow, if you have small eyelids. The second goal is to keep the liner diffused.
Lift your eyelid up as you apply your eyeliner, and apply the eyeliner on your lash line, not your actual eyelid.
Going from underneath keeps your line tight and precise.
Go over your line with an angled brush to soften it.
You can soften the line even more by dipping your angled brush into a matching dark brown shadow and going over your eyelid line again.
That helps create a soft, smoked-out eye line.
7. Clean the shadow fall-out
Use a cotton pad dipped in moisturizer to clean up any shadow that fell below your eyes while you were working.
The moisturizer acts as an eraser, cleaning all the shadow fall-out, while also prepping your skin for the concealer application.
8. Shape your brows
Use an eyebrow pencil to frame out your eyebrow shape.
Go over that shape with a brow shadow to intensify the color while at the same time diffusing the pigment a bit.
Go over your eyebrow pencil with powder to improve the longevity of wear.
9. Skin tone and color-correcting
Use a large, fluffy brush to apply a light, breathable, tinted moisturizer all over your face.
Use color corrector to spot-correct and specific areas of skin discoloration.
Use a stippling technique to press the color-corrector into your skin.
Then blend it out.
10. Serum foundation for more coverage
On areas that need a bit more coverage, apply some serum foundation.
Blend it out with a damp beauty blender.
11. Brighten under your eyes
Strategically apply concealer under your eyes, on areas where there is discoloration.
Tip: Less concealer is really more, because the more you use, the more cakiness and creasing you get.
Set your concealer lightly with translucent powder.
12. Now for your lips
If you have any wrinkles or lines around your lips, it’s extremely important to line them.
Lining your lips will not only make your lips look fuller, it will prevent your lipstick from bleeding out.
Then, apply matching plumping gloss to your lips.
13. Apply blush
Apply peachy-cream blush to your cheeks to add luminosity and hydration to your skin.
14. Finish your face with bronzer
Apply some matte bronzer over your cheeks, forehead and around your lips, to warm up your skin tone a tiny bit more.
15. Add mascara
