As we age, our skin’s needs change, and so do the techniques we use for makeup. For women over 50, achieving that flawless, radiant finish with cream makeup doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few simple tweaks, you can ensure your makeup blends seamlessly, stays in place all day, and enhances your natural glow.
Here are my four go-to tips for getting the most out of your cream makeup!
1. Spray Your Brush with Setting Spray
One of the biggest game-changers for blending cream makeup is using setting spray. Before you even pick up your brush, give it a quick spritz. This not only helps the product blend effortlessly into your skin, but it also locks your makeup in place for long-lasting wear. Since cream makeup loves moisture, this little trick will help your skin look more radiant and skin-like throughout the day.
2. Blend from Lightest to Darkest
When applying cream makeup, the order in which you blend matters! I always recommend starting with the lightest shades first and working your way to the darker tones. This ensures that your makeup layers naturally and you avoid any harsh lines between colors. By blending from lightest to darkest, you get a smoother, more even finish.
3. Press, Don’t Swipe
When it comes to blending cream makeup, one of the most important things to remember is to press the product into your skin, rather than swiping or swirling. Pressing helps the cream absorb better, which is especially important for mature skin. Swiping can move the product around, making it harder to blend and potentially emphasizing fine lines. By pressing the product in, you’ll get a flawless finish that stays in place.
4. Blend Outward and Upward
Here’s a quick tip that can make a big difference. When blending, always go outward and upward instead of downward. Blending upward helps to lift the face, creating a more youthful, lifted look. Nobody wants their makeup dragging their face down, right? This simple adjustment can give you a refreshed and vibrant appearance.
