Hello Lovelies, It’s great to see you again for the final installment of 2024 Makeup Trends for Women Over 50—Part 3. Blush and highlighter put the finishing touches on your gorgeous look.
Subtle, Light-reflecting Highlighter
Every woman welcomes a radiant glow, and you can achieve this with the right product and a little practice. With the proper application, your skin takes on a beautiful sheen, yet if done wrong, the light bounces off your face like a Christmas decoration, highlighting pores and wrinkles.
Add highlighters to strategic points, such as the cheekbones, nose bridge, and Cupid’s bow, for a subtle glow. By choosing cream and liquid products, you will achieve a seamless blend. By all means, avoid any highlighters with a shimmer. Shop for those that reflect light.
Recommendation: LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Baked Original Low Glow Illuminating Highlighter Duo, French Vanilla/Portofino
Irresistible Creamy Blush
There will be no clown face for women over 50 in 2024. You’ll want to choose soft, neutral colors and apply them with a light hand. The best look is a subtle hint of blush as if you woke up with a natural flush.
This is not the time to choose a match for your skin color. Choose a color to give your cheeks a natural, healthy radiance. This is your chance to pick a color that makes your complexion pop! As we age, our skin becomes lighter and can look sallow. A pink shade will counteract this difference. A soft rose will do wonders for a beautiful glow if you have dark spots or pigmentation.
A creamy formula is best for women over 50. If your concerns are signs of aging, you’ll want to reach for a cream formula. Under no circumstances should you use a concealer with shimmer.
Recommendations: LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Serum Blush Tint, Laura Geller repeatedly shows for mature skin cosmetics.
Last Thoughts
As we age, less is more for most of us. Have fun making yourself gorgeous. Applying makeup might be a challenge at first, but with a bit of practice, I feel confident you will master it. Yes, we have to try harder, and it often takes longer, but it is worth it because you are.
