expert tips from glominerals: mature skin

Skin changes with age causing the skin to lose elasticity and become dry, especially with the onset of menopause. It is important to use appropriate skincare products and makeup to care for and nurture your skin through these changes.

Makeup should be used to enhance and accent the person you have become. It is not about trying to look younger but about looking healthy, fresh and confident.

 
 
 

Eyes

As aging occurs, the skin around the eye gets thinner and fine lines (also known as crow’s feet) become more noticeable.  Dark colors, heavy makeup and shimmer will only accentuate these issues.  It can also cause eye lids look droopy. 
  • Choose light and medium tone shades with a matte texture. They will look softer and flatter the eye.
  • Always start by applying gloLid primer all over they eye to keep eye makeup looking fresh longer.
  • Apply a base color shadow on the eye lid. We recommend:
    • gloEye shadow: bamboo, banana, haze, lilac, sea shell, twinkle, water lily
    • gloReflection cream eye shadow: gilded bronze, golden pearl, aqua chiffon, opulent pink
  • Choose a medium tone color to brush into brow bone. Be sure to blend well. We recommend:
    • gloEye shadowtwig, kona, stone
  • To create more depth choose a slightly darker shadow and apply to the outer edge of the eye lid. We recommend:
    • gloEye shadowdusk, eggplant, fern, mahogany, mink

**TIP: Use a bright blush to take attention away from crow’s feet.


 

Lashes & Brows

Eye lashes and brows thin with age. It is important to add definition by using the appropriate product.  Apply the line as close to the lash line as possible. If the line looks too sharp you can smudge it in by going over the top with an eye shadow and the mini crease brush or eyeliner/brow brush.

  • Choose cream liner or eye pencil in a darker color to make the lash line look lush. We recommend:
    • gloCream linerebony, eggplant, espresso, sapphire, slate
    • gloPrecision eye pencil: black, black/brown, brown, charcoal, deep olive, plum
  • Use gloLash thickener and conditioner and apply two coats of mascara.
  • Use appropriate brow product to fill in or tame sparse, straggly brows.
  • Use the gloPrecision eye pencil in peach to brighten up inside rim of the lower eye.

 

Face

Start off with gloFace primer to create a perfectly smooth canvas.
  • Choose moisturizing foundation formulas in the appropriate shade and keep skin hydrated throughout the day with gloMoist hydration mist. We recommend:
    • gloLoose base foundation for great coverage with a more luminous finish.
    • gloProtective liquid foundation in satin II for a beautiful airbrushed, look. You can start off with a sheer coverage by misting the foundation brush first and build a fuller coverage with another layer or two.
    • gloSheer tint to even out the skin tone. This weightless product will leave the skin looking hydrated and healthy.
    • For increased coverage apply one coat of gloPressed base or gloLoose base following the gloSheer tint application.
  • Use gloConcealer to cover dark shadows under eyes and around the corners of the nose.  Use gloCamouflage to cover sun spots, hyperpigmentation and excessive redness on the face.
  • To increase your ‘glo’ apply one of our finishing products to the bridge of the nose, cheek bones and inner corner of the eye.
    • We recommend: gloDust 24K, gloHighlighter, gloShimmer brick

Mature skin can naturally take on a grayish cast. Blush will add the perfect pop of color and a bit of warmth to the skin. Smile and apply to the apples of the cheeks to give the appearance of a healthy, natural glow. We recommend:

  • gloCream blush: fig, guava, plumeria
  • gloBlush: begonia, hibiscus, lilac silk, papaya, rosebud, sheer petal, spice berry and sweet

**TIP: If more warmth is desired, you can apply gloBronze in sunkiss or sunlight to the temples, forehead and down the center of the face.

 


 
 

Lips

  • Use gloPrecision pencil in peach line around the outer edge of the lips to prevent lip color from feathering.
  • Line lips with the gloPrecision lip pencil shade of choice for added definition.
  • Stick to soft tones of pink and brown that naturally enhance the lip.  They tend to be more flattering than deep tones. We recommend:
