The Ultimate Makeup Guide for Beginner’s

Prepare your skin

The secret to a completely flawless face of makeup is not in the cosmetics, but in the quality of the skin, as makeup experts know. The nicer your skin looks, the less makeup you'll need to wear.

Dryness is one of the most common side effects of growing older. Always start with a thorough slathering of moisturizer before applying eye makeup or foundation. This is the most crucial step in any makeup routine because it plumps up the skin and can help with fine lines and wrinkles.

Make Your Brow Line Perfect

Eyebrows are sometimes forgotten as individuals get older, yet they're just as crucial as having even skin tone, flawlessly made-up eyes, and the right lip color. A beautiful brow can help you wear less makeup and be one of the few things you require.

Create a Skin Tone That Is Even

After you've applied and absorbed your moisturizer, it's time to conceal your dark under-eye bags, any blue veins around your eyes, and any red areas on your skin. All of them are common in women of all ages, and the good news is that they're rather simple to conceal.

• Dot concealer under your eyes to hide dark circles. With the pad of your fingers, press the concealer into place.
• Apply concealer to any red spots on your face. Use a stick foundation only on very red spots that concealer or a light foundation won't cover. Apply with a gentle touch—too much stick foundation can result in a caked-on appearance.
• Finally, to balance out your skin tone, apply a light tinted moisturizer or foundation all over your face.

The jury is still out on whether concealer should be applied before or after foundation, and both methods have their advantages. However, you may find that you require less foundation or tinted moisturizer once you've covered the areas you wish to conceal.

Make Your Face More Dimensional

One of my favorite beauty tips to offer with women is how to use bronzer to create dimension to their faces. Bronzer, when used along the jawline, under the cheekbones, and on the temples, can give the appearance of a chiseled face.

Boost the Luminosity of a Dull Skin Tone

Another cosmetic hack I swear by is using highlighting pens to impart brightness to the face. Simply use a highlighting pen to do so. Lower your chin while keeping your gaze fixed on the mirror. Swipe the pen across all of the black lines on your face.

Know what kind of look you want to get with your eyes

The goal of creating a "mature" face is to avoid going overboard. You don't want to look like you're wearing too much makeup. As a result, start with a gentle touch and add more coats as needed.

Invest in a good lash curler

Even on women with the most stunning natural eyelashes, any cosmetic professional will tell you that an eyelash curler is a must. Curling them can do wonders for opening up the eye, and they're right.

Think About Whether Blush Is Right For You

A dash of blush can be the finishing touch to a well-made-up face. However, not all women require blushing. You can skip the blush most of the time if you have rosacea or merely a pink tone—think pale skin that sunburns and flushes readily.

Blush can be applied in a variety of ways to highlight your greatest features, but the most common is on the apples of the cheeks. If you're in a hurry and only have a few minutes to put on makeup, opt for tinted foundation, mascara, blush, and lipstick. All you truly need to look flawless is that.

Powder

Dewy skin has made a comeback. However, after we reach a certain age, getting dewy skin naturally may become more difficult. Many older women prefer not to use powder while doing makeup, but if you feel you need it to set your makeup, apply it at the end of your routine, just before applying lipstick.

A little lip color may go a long way

An older woman who only wore lipstick was once known as a writer for this site. No mascara, foundation, powder, or concealer was used. Only bright red lipstick is allowed. She also appeared to be faultless. Of course, her flawless face and naturally long lashes framed the most piercing blue eyes they'd ever seen helped.
