How to "erase" pores from your face and create the perfect tone: life hacks from makeup artists

There are no strict rules in makeup – the main thing is that it emphasizes your beauty and gives you confidence. However, as you age, your skin needs special care and a selection of cosmetics. Products that were perfect for you at the age of 30 may lose their effectiveness after 40. The Sun writes about this.

Here are a few tips to help you create flawless makeup for the age of 40+:

Moisturizing is the foundation of beauty:

Always moisturize your face before applying makeup. This will help your skin look fresher, more radiant, and smoother. Use a moisturizer that suits your skin type. Don't forget to moisturize your neck and décolleté.

The perfect tone:

A heavy foundation can emphasize wrinkles and create a mask effect. Give preference to lightweight tinted fluids or BB creams. Choose a product that is one to two shades lighter than your natural skin color to visually reduce age. Apply the foundation with a sponge or brush, using light strokes to avoid clogging pores.

Masking porosity:

Use loose powder to reduce the appearance of pores. You can try the Goss method – apply a little powder on your face before primer. Use a powder with a light matting effect to avoid drying the skin. Excess shine can be blotted off during the day with special wipes.

Correction of imperfections:

Use concealer to mask age spots, dark circles under the eyes, and other imperfections. Choose a concealer that is half a shade darker than your natural skin color. Apply the concealer with a dotting method and then blend thoroughly.

Sun protection:

Never forget sunscreen! It's the best way to keep your skin looking young and healthy. Choose a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Make sure that the sunscreen contains zinc oxide, which protects against UVA and UVB rays. Mineral powder can also help protect the skin from UVA and reduce pores.

Vitamin C for radiance:

Use vitamin C products to brighten skin, even out tone, and reduce pigmentation. Don't forget to apply vitamin C to your neck and décolleté.

Blush for a fresh look:

Blush can help you emphasize your cheekbones and make your face look fresher and more radiant. You can combine cream and powder blush. Apply a cream blush to your cheeks and then lightly blend it with a powder product on top. Stretch the blush diagonally across the cheekbones to visually tighten the oval of the face.
