Holiday makeup for women 50+: life hacks if you don't have time

It's important to adjust your daily skincare routine to suit your skin's age. Products that were optimal at 30 may lose their effectiveness at 50+. First of all, it's about dehydration – with age, the skin needs more moisturizing and more careful care.

Holiday makeup is a special opportunity to demonstrate your individuality. Makeup artists told us how to make spectacular makeup for a special occasion if you don't have time to visit a beauty salon.

Makeup has an incredible ability to boost confidence and self-esteem. So why not take advantage of a special occasion as a great opportunity to update your makeup routine, improve your application technique, and get countless compliments on your perfect look?

Step 1

Always wear makeup in natural light to prevent overly caked-on coverage and to help create a glowing skin effect. Invest in a good quality moisturizer and a good primer to soften and minimize fine lines and wrinkles, and to ensure that your makeup lasts.

Step 2

Make one bright accent. It can be a shining dark cherry lipstick shade or rich eyeshadow and perfect eyeliner. Choose a matte shade of your favorite color (blue, green, or mauve) and apply it on the eyelid. Apply a darker shade closer to the crease and blend it with the color of the contour.

Step 3

Don't forget to balance out your eye makeup with the right eyebrow emphasis. A naturally curved eyebrow of the perfect length reaches a high point in the right place and can make the face look more harmonious.

The eyebrow should go upward from the inner corner of the eye, gradually rising along the brow bone at a high point, and then gently dropping to the outer corner of the eye. Poorly drawn, unkempt, or overly plucked eyebrows can visually add age, making the eye look heavy and tired.

Step 4

You can complete the look by adding gold or silver glitter (depending on whether your skin tone is warm or cool) on the cheekbones and décolleté.

Remember that the point is not to spend hours in front of the mirror, but to feel great and enjoy the holiday.
