What makeup to do for the New Year if you are over 40? Of course, you want to look fashionable, stylish and bright! But will all the makeup tricks and fashion trends for New Year's holidays 2021 be appropriate if the makeup is anti-aging? mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ learned the secrets of Hollywood cosmetologists and decided to figure out not only the trends, but also how to correctly make anti-age make up step by step in order to lose a dozen children in the main winter celebration!

Step # 1: Makeup base is a must!

We have already repeatedly said that for evening make-up you need not only a good foundation, but also a make-up base. Believe me, the foundation for make up is an investment that you shouldn't save on. If the base is good and of high quality, you can even apply a foundation of the mass market segment, very inexpensive, and it will look perfect! Choose a base with a silicone base - it can literally fill in wrinkles and smooth your skin.

Step # 2: apply foundation

The foundation itself must be of a liquid texture, and not powdery and not in the form of a dense cream-powder. The more liquid the cream, the more ideal layer it will lie, no matter how much you apply it. Choose the shades that best suit your skin, but remember, it's best to go with warm tones. With a more yellow undertone, the skin looks fresh and rested, bruises under the eyes, veins and redness become visually invisible. It's good if there are tiny shimmery shimmery particles in the foundation, and you need to apply it with a special sponge - a beauty blender.

Step # 3: masking imperfections with concealer

Concealer can mask creases, wrinkles, redness and irritation, as well as dark circles under the eyes. But even when choosing it, when it comes to anti-aging makeup, you need to be very careful. Choose exclusively liquid textures that will not lay down in a dense layer like "plaster". Apply it also with a beauty blender or with a special thin brush.

Concealer should definitely be a shade or two lighter than your foundation. From redness, choose shades with a greenish undertone, from yellowness and age spots - with purple, from blue and dark circles - with yellow.

Step # 4: fixing makeup with powder

Powder can be used to fix the foundation and give the skin a matte finish. Put the compact one in your evening bag to fix your makeup already at the celebration. But initially, it is best to apply a loose powder on a mineral basis to the skin. Light texture and transparency will allow you not to weigh the face down and create the effect of a porcelain mask. The transparency of loose powder allows you to apply it to absolutely any shade of foundation - from light to dark. Apply the powder with a wide, voluminous and very soft brush from top to bottom.

Step 5: anti-aging blush

With age, two things appear: either the blush turns pale and the skin of the face looks unhealthy, or, conversely, excessive redness of the cheeks and nose may appear due to thinning of the skin and bleeding of blood vessels. We carefully mask the redness at the stage of applying foundation and concealer. But a light blush is essential too! It can be achieved with a glass of champagne in the early evening or by applying a light blush.

Hollywood make-up artists advise using blush also in warm, not cold shades: terracotta, brick, orange - and better with a tan effect and shimmer. Apply them slightly higher than the apples of the cheeks - this will make the oval of the face more toned.

Step # 6: Eyelid Lifting Shadow

For shadows, Hollywood makeup artists also use a special base, especially for masking age-related imperfections. Typically, it has a light, creamy texture that is slightly denser than concealer. The color is also usually nude, nude, which masks blue discoloration and redness and evens out the tone.

In some cases, the eyeshadow base alone will be enough. Especially if, for example, you plan to draw beautiful eyeliner arrows without using shadows. By the way, it is better to use a dark brown eyeliner - it will not look as contrasting as coal black.

Do you want to apply eyeshadow or make your makeup more intense? Choose brown, chocolate, graphite tones. Bright blues, greens, purples, and even more so pinks and reds should be avoided, even if they match your New Year's outfit.

Choose several tones - from light (in the inner corner of the eye) to dark (in the outer). But make sure that the transition between tones is smoothed as much as possible, otherwise such a visage of the eyes will age. For the New Year's celebration, you can use shadows with a light shine effect and with a small shimmer, but glitter with large sparkles should be avoided.

Step # 7: open-eyed mascara

You can't do without mascara in anti-aging makeup. It is the eyelashes, well dyed and curled, that give the look an openness and brightness. For an evening make up, you should curl your eyelashes with a special curler, but only BEFORE using mascara. If you apply mascara first and then curl your eyelashes, there is a risk of breaking them.

Do not push the curler too hard, just slightly raise the eyelashes at the very line of their growth. Choose black mascara if your eye makeup is intense enough. If using nude eyeshadows, use graphite (for light eyes) or dark chocolate (for green and brown). With lower lashes, you should be more careful and apply mascara either in a very thin and light layer, or not at all.

Step # 8: intensify the eyebrow color

In eyebrow makeup, the main task is to fill in all the gaps, give a beautiful shape and make the color more intense. The fact is that with age, the color of eyebrow hairs can fade, and the hairs themselves become very thin. Permanent makeup saves, but this is not an option if you constantly change hair color or want to experiment with the shape of your eyebrows.

For evening makeup, use a powdery brow texture or dry matte pencil. Choose shades that will be in harmony with the color of your eye makeup: for gray and graphite - graphite, for beige - brown. Don't make the color too intense, use a brush to apply eyebrow shadows, or draw small strokes with a pencil that you can then blend. Your goal is to shape nicely and fill in the blanks.

Step 9: contouring and adding volume to the lips

And finally, at the end of our New Year's anti-aging makeup, we must definitely think about how to properly apply lipstick to the lips. What textures should I use? Necessarily creamy, soft, intensely moisturizing. Matte lipstick will last longer, but it will mercilessly reveal all the wrinkles, dryness and flaking on the lips.

It is better to renew the layer of creamy lipstick on the lips several times a night so that they are well hydrated. The use of gloss is allowed, but it should be light, not too bright in color, and even better - apply it just a drop after the lipstick. Choose colors that are more natural and light. But in the New Year, bright scarlet or dark shades are also allowed - only with their application you need to be especially careful so that your lips do not look untidy.




So, first we need to make a clear outline of the lips. To do this, choose a tone-on-tone pencil with lipstick or the same shade as your lips in a natural color. Nobody uses a contour pencil a tone darker than lipstick today! Better yet, get a transparent wax pencil that will fit absolutely any shade of lipstick, make an invisible contour and hold the color.

Apply the pencil not only along the contour, but over the entire surface of the lips. Now use lipstick - it will moisturize your skin well. Visual volume can be added with the help of a highlighter applied above the contour of the upper lip (before using the contour pencil), as well as in the middle of the lower lip (after applying lipstick to complete the lip makeup).

Shine! Beauty and shine are added not only by a properly done New Year's make-up, but also by a good positive mood!
