Best Makeup: Women Over 50 – 2016

Best Makeup: Women Over 50

I’m sharing some of the best makeup for women over 50 that I have discovered, as well as great moisturizers, sunscreens and beauty tips for women over 50. Take some time to think through your makeup supplies and habits. Our skin changes as we age, and a new plan is in order for our senior years. Of course, exercise, water, and moisturizers are essential to a fresher look.

As we age, our skin tends to become drier and has less elasticity than it did when we were younger. Aging skin requires special products to keep it looking and feeling healthy and younger than it really is.

A good skin care regimen is important to look your best. Start with quality facial cleansers, creams and body lotions then follow up with makeup that gives you a natural, healthy look. It’s also important to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun and to drink plenty of water.

You don’t have to give in to the dryness, wrinkles and other aging issues. Taking care of your skin and using the proper makeup are steps in the right direction for looking and feeling your best!

And please remember that one of the most important things you can wear is a smile! Smiling is attractive and contagious!

Thanks to Lancombe, I looked younger for our 50th !

We recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. I asked my hairstylist if she would also do my makeup for this big event. I was amazed when I looked at the pictures from our party. I look much younger and vibrant and my wrinkles do not show so much. I called her and asked what product she had used on my face that created that effect. She told me it was Lancome Renergie Foundation. There is an entire set of Renergie products available. I challenge you to try it. I think you will be as surprised and pleased as I am.

Mineral Makeup Foundation

Best Makeup Foundation for Women Over 50

I believe mineral makeup is the best makeup foundation for women over 50. It doesn’t cake or look gunky like liquid foundation tends to do, and it looks very natural. If you are cleansing and moisturizing properly, then you won’t have to worry about mineral makeup drying your skin. It is actually very healthy for your skin. Keep your mineral makeup brush clean, so it will not grow bacteria, and your skin will glow! Here are some quality mineral makeup foundation options for women over 50. These all come in a variety of colors to match any skin tone.

Mineral Powder Blush for a More Natural Look

Blush is a great choice of makeup for women over 50. It gives you a touch of color and vibrancy. I highly recommend the mineral powder blush, because it looks more natural. I’ve never liked the cream blushes, because they can look clumpy and almost clownish if they aren’t applied properly. Mineral powder blush is so easy to apply. You simply let the brush do the work for you! These options each come in a variety of colors, too.

Don’t Forget the Sunscreen!

Everyone should protect themselves from the harmful rays of the sun, and here are two top-quality sunscreen choices for women over 50. The sun will make you age more quickly and can damage your skin when you’re out in it too long. It causes skin to be tough, dry and often times splotchy. Take care of your face and body with sunscreen every time you’ll be outside for any prolonged amount of time. And remember, you can still burn even if it’s cloudy outside!
