In our twenties, we used to have fun with blushes and pencils to play femme fatale; however, with the passing year, we prefer that our beauty routine gives us a youthful look.
In fact, your makeup routine will change over the years, especially when aging signs like wrinkles, fine lines and brown spots start to appear. But then, what should we give up at all costs to be sure not to age because of a kohl pencil or a dark-color lipstick? For Alexandre Ciancio, Laura Mercier’s global makeup artist, “there is no ban from a certain age, you should adapt things, especially to have a light hand while learning to work with subtlety.”
Covering your face with a makeup base
Some of Alexandre Ciancio’s tips to avoid emphasizing aging signs:
- Avoid using glitter-pearly powders and the abuse of highlighter, which will emphasize the wrinkles.
- Apply a silicone-free makeup base before applying a foundation.
- Be careful with the badly applied blush, better to put little drops.
The perfect makeup
The look tends to shrink with time and eyelids fall. Here is the right course of action to follow in order to have a youthful look according to Alexandre Ciancio:
- Moisturize the eye contour are using a cream that suits your skin type.
- Use a creamy, fluid concealer to cover dark circles.
- Avoid black kohl in favor of gray or brown to soften the look.
- Use a creamy-textured primer on the eyelid – which can be worn alone, or opt for a smoky eye.
- Fill in your brows using an eyebrow pencil with the correct shade, then brush them an eyebrow brush. Avoid thickening your brows.
- Apply mascara to make your eyes look bigger.
- Redefine the outline of your lips with a lip liner. Then, opt for a lipstick with a lacquered shine instead of a gloss or a matte lipstick.
