With age, our self-care should change, become more thorough. Of course, this also applies to makeup. So a thorough change of approach should be made after 40 years.

It is at this time that age-related changes on the face begin to become noticeable - fine lines appear around the eyes and on the forehead, the skin loses its shine and becomes less moisturized. Habitual makeup can begin to emphasize these features. What mistakes lead to this and how to avoid them, the Express told popular makeup artist and video blogger Wayne Goss.

Find your style and stick to it

It can seem a bit boring to do the same hairstyle or follow the same makeup all the time. However, look at the stars. As a rule, they appear on people in approximately the same successful image and resort to experiments not so often. They know their winning techniques and complimentary colors. All you need to do for the same is to find your options.

Don't follow fashion trends

The truth is that trends are created to sell beauty products, not to make you beautiful. All those creative colors and shapes are fun, but hardly appropriate for everyday life. If you feel like experimenting, experiment, but don't bet on new techniques. You are more likely to work with what you have tried many times on yourself. Think flawless skin, rosy cheeks, light tan tone - that's what you need to stick to in your makeup.

Avoid tinting your skin too thoroughly

Many women believe that as they age, their skin needs more makeup. So they spend more on products and apply them with a thicker layer. And this is a mistake, because this approach only adds age. Choose lighter and more transparent textures and products enriched with care ingredients. Let your skin be moisturized and breathe.

Don't smile when applying blush

When you're young, the best way to apply blush is to smile and blend the product on the resulting "apples". As you age, this stops working. Anything that goes down makes the face look older. In addition, the colored accent begins to only emphasize the hollowing on the cheekbones, which becomes more noticeable with age. So apply blush to a relaxed face and place it on the protrusion of the cheek bone, blending upwards towards the temple.

Take into account your eye shape

One of the most popular types of makeup videos on YouTube are eye makeup tutorials. And we often repeat these techniques, overlooking the fact that everyone's eye shape is different. Pay attention to how exactly your eyes are planted, whether you have a drooping eyelid. If it appears, perhaps you only need mascara for makeup. And if you have deep-set eyes, you should probably avoid dark colors, because they can make your eyes visually even more sunken.
