Over time, many find that their favorite makeup no longer works quite the same. The same makeup as when you were 20 suddenly gives you a hard or tired look. Version Femina sums up the problem well by writing: “Cool tones like ice blue, acid green, purple, pale pink, especially if they are matte and opaque, definitely harden the features”. Hence the desire to review your palette.
“In contrast, all the shades of warm brown, peach, orange, worked in transparency and with a touch of shine, bring extra radiance” continues the media. an easy palette to adopt on a daily basis.
The idea is simple. favor warm tones
light on the complexion and mouth rather than cool saturated colors on the eyes.
The aufeminin site also reminds us that light textures and a slightly glowy finish rejuvenate more than a very matte finish.
Warm makeup colors: the radiance ally of mature skin
The magazine lists among the false friends ice blues, acid greens, purples or pale matte pinks which quickly give a severe look. It is better to go for warm browns, peach, orange, rosewood or copper, in thin layers. The darker the skin, the more daring you can wear burgundy, garnet or plum, especially on the mouth. The magazine states: “The classic brown pencil and black mascara combo is perfect for giving intensity to the eyes, it’s not where you’re going to place the color.”
On the cheeks, a rosewood, apricot or copper cream blush immediately brings a healthy glow.
“With a rosewood or copper cream blush and a poppy or raspberry colored balm, there is no room for error”the magazine still promises.
These color families remain soft but awaken the face, especially when cheeks and lips are made up in the same warm harmony.
Adapt your healthy-looking makeup to your skin tone and age
There is also a rule by skin tone.
- Fair skin enhanced by apricot roses;
- Medium skins with luminous corals;
- Dark skin with intense plums and burgundy.
This grid follows the advice from the same magazine on deep colors when the skin is darker. On gray or white hair, makeup artist Fanny Miosotis, interviewed by aufeminin, recommends apricot, coral or pink blushes and satin lipsticks to recreate contrast without hardening the features.
Fanny Miosotis also uses a cream or liquid highlighter placed on the rounded areas of the face. The objective? Give a fresh shine rather than a plaster effect. Its common theme: fine textures, easy to blend, which reveal the skin. This principle is similar to the liquid blushes mentioned above, to be applied in one or two drops with a soft brush for a transparent result.
The gestures and textures that really make makeup shine
Before applying makeup, a moisturizer is enough, then a fluid foundation applied in dabs rather than as a mask.
A well-blended warm cream blush and a raspberry balm give a brighter face in seconds.
