Advanced Make Up Foundation

Choose the right make up foundation and
achieve a Mini Face Lift effect!

Advanced make up foundation formulas can even skin tone and texture, minimise enlarged pores and wrinkles and bring back a satiny freshness to your skin.
The result, a plumped up, dewy, flawless complexion.

This is a must read if you are using the same old foundation, inspite of the changing needs of your skin.

Or, if you are just not happy lately with the way your skin looks when you apply your make up.
The secret lies in choosing the right kind of make up foundation for your particular skin issues. The choice of colour and the application techniques.

Anti Aging Liquid Foundation

The new lighter texture is easy to apply and the coverage is good for skin with even tones and little redness. The advanced ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides reduce the appearence of fine lines and encourage skin renewal.

Coverage can be increased by applying a little more product to problem areas around the nose and mouth. To counter the dullness of mature skin, many products contain light reflecting particles to add luminosity to your complexion and nearly all have a sun protection factor SPF15 to protect. Clinique Even Better Makeup is a perfect example. The lightest of make up foundation textures, an SPF 15 and definitely in the affordable category. Lots of shades too!

Anti Aging Cream Foundation

The superior coverage of this make up foundation Elizabeth Arden Intervene Foundation Makeup means goodbye to red cheeks and chin and it stays put for hours. Meanwhile powerful antioxidants boost the skin's resources and vitamin C helps alleviate hyperpigmention.

Anti aging cream make up foundations contain ingredients that encourage skin cell renewal leading to a more youthful glow. This one has light reflecting particles and a SPF15 built in!

Whipped or Mousse Make Up Foundation

These anti aging foundations are unbeatable for mature skins with uneven texture and enlarged pores. Their consistency works like magic filling in the uneven areas and tiny lines in the most natural way. A little more skill is necessary to ensure the application is blended down to a thin layer but the softness of the finish is worth experimenting.

This is the best foundation make up for coverage of blemishes, redness and coarseness of mature skin.

For advanced rosacea or extreme under eye darkness concealers in various tones are invaluable.Choise of colour is extremely important and we will deal with that in a moment.

Solid or Stick Make Up

Another very useful addition to your make up for quick spot coverage of redness, blemishes or scars. This little gem travels well and can be used in a flash to touch up your make up anywhere, anytime. There are some excellent treatment products to help you deal with facial redness. Regular use can improve, sometimes even eliminate the problem.

Another option is natural mineral make up which can be worn sheer or layered for maximum coverage without ever looking heavy.The lightweight powder is applied with a brush and a swirling technique. I have written about the pros and cons on my page Natural Mineral Make up Myth or Magic.

Tips & Tricks!

Nothing, but nothing looks older and accentuates the imperfections of mature skin more than a make up that is too dark. Tanned and very bronzy make up is definitely aging. Choose your colour carefully and make sure that it matches your skin colour perfectly. Opt for yellow toned make up foundation because the effect will be much more fresh than pink toned products. If you try it on a part of your face and it disappears, it's right. You should not be able to see a line. This approach is much younger and softer even if it takes a couple of days to get used to.

Want to improve the tone of your complexion without using a tanned make up? Try one of the new make up primers. I have put together all you need to know about foundation primer before buying one. Test them at the beauty counter. They can brighten pallid skin, neutralize redness, minimize enlarged pores and more.For me a primer is an essential for very mature skin.

Application - How to get the best results!

Don't stop reading here... because application is key to the success of these high tech anti aging make up foundations. They work in combination with your daily skin care routine that prepares the canvas for some stunning results.

After gently cleansing, apply anti aging moisturizer all over your face avoiding eyes. Use a spot of enriched skin balm on very dry areas. Apply eye cream or gel lightly and use a trace of yellowy toned under eye concealer. Remember the inside eye area above the nose. This banishes any darkness and brightens the whole face.
Apply the foundation to your face with your finger tips, spreading lightly and tapping in. Don't massage or pull skin. Re-apply gently to areas that require additional coverage. Finish with a fine powder dusted over cheeks, forehead and chin.

Your Skin is now ready for the fun bits...

Accentuate your eyes with soft milled matt shadows in shades that are kind to less than perfect eyelids. Draw the attention away from under eye darkness. Reshape your eyebrows and learn how to add definition to sparse brows using the right tools and colour. Finish with lash lengthening mascara that will open your eyes and won't look hard or aging.
Full lips have always been considered youthful and attractive. Don't worry if you don't have the "Jolie" version any more there are lots of ways to enhance thin lips . Try outlining your lips with a soft pencil in a color no darker than your lips to improve the shape very subtly and finish with a creamy anti aging lipstick in a colour that will add fullness and last forever.

You can be attractive at any age. Use the cutting edge cosmetic products on todays market to your best advantage and enjoy the way you look.

Don't settle for anything less!
