Make up Primer for Mature Skin

NARS Makeup Primer with SPF 20 & PA++

Prime the canvas for a perfect picture!

Choosing the right make up primer could be the best thing that ever happened to your make up routine.

Mature Skin has very special needs so there are a few things to consider.

Alison Raffaele Age Response Face Forward Primer

The right make up primer will:

  • Create a perfect surface for your make up.
  • Fill in fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Make enlarged pores appear finer
  • Reduce redness and inflammation.
  • Hydrate and protect all day
  • Even skin tone
  • Reduce shine on forehead, nose and chin.
  • Plump up skin for a much younger look

Sound like a dream?

These priming products are pretty new on the scene but fast becoming essential items because they really do work. The important thing is to buy the right one for your skin.

The best make up primers fall into two categories.

  1. The oil free primer is excellent for oily skins to deal with shiny zones on forehead, nose and chin.
  2. The primer for normal skin is better for delicate mature skin more prone to tiny lines and wrinkles.

Both types will keep your skin hydrated and smooth looking all day long.

The next decision is clear or tinted. If you like a natural look for every day the tinted one is a great solution. The effect is soft and smooth with a hint of colour that stays put. It evens skin tone and minimises lines and discolourations.

The clear product is good used before daily make up for a perfect result that stays put longer.

The only decision left is the price. These superb products are part of most cosmetic companies collections these days and the prices can vary enormously. I have made some recommendations based on the feedback from readers with mature to very mature skins.

Clarins Lisse Minute - Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch Makeup Base 15ml/0.5oz

Application.

Simply apply after your moisturizer and leave for a few moments to be absorbed before applying foundation to a gloriously smooth skin.

Oil free primers can be applied to mature skin on the oily areas around forehead, chin and nose. This will reduce shine and minimise enlarged pores. On other areas of the face an oil free primer might feel a little tight or dry.

Primers for normal skin can be applied all over the face or just to problem areas.

Filling tiny lines, plumping up, toning down and leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Does this sound like a great idea for a special occasion that's coming up?

Take my advice and like all new things, practice a little before the big day and get it right.

Go Looking Gorgeous!
