Subtle mineral makeup for mature skin: how to do it?

There are certain universal makeup truths worth adhering to. One of them is that we should feel good in our makeup. And this has nothing to do with age, weight, lifestyle, or clothing. Subtle and illuminating makeup is the type of makeup we feel good in at any age. See how to apply it step by step.

We start with skincare. Well-prepared skin—cleansed and moisturized—is the best base for any makeup application. Mature skin is often dry, preferring more enveloping formulas. The moisturizing SOFT CREAM with added STAY ESSENTIAL oil provides a pleasant occlusion, designed for skin in need of an energy boost. Once the cream and oil base has absorbed, we move on to makeup.

Mature skin loves a subtle glow. So, start your makeup routine by choosing an Annabelle Minerals mineral foundation formula. We recommend a highlighting or coverage formula. The former illuminates and softens facial features by reflecting light. The latter provides a slightly creamy, satin finish. Our model has fair, delicate skin – we chose a mineral foundation with a coverage formula in the shade Golden Cream for her. Apply it all over the face with a FLAT TOP brush , lightly blending the foundation into the skin. Don't forget about the eye area either – we use a precise MINI KABUKI brush to apply mineral foundation in this area.

Now we move on to contouring the face. Gently contour with a darker foundation and mineral blush in ROSE. This is a universal, elegant shade that beautifully enlivens the face. It's best to apply the blush to the tops of the cheekbones – this will visually lift the cheeks. Apply a small amount of DIAMOND GLOW mineral highlighter to the prominent areas of the face: slightly higher than the blush, on the top of the forehead and nose, and in the center of the chin.

Eyebrows are an essential element of makeup – they add definition to the face. Emphasize and fill the arches with eyeshadow from the BROW LIKE WOW palette . The skin around the eyes is thin and delicate, so over time, it sags and droops. Therefore, when applying eye makeup, we should make sure to optically open them. We frame our makeup with the PINE eyeliner . The pencil is very soft and blends easily. We also use it to highlight the lower eyelid. We use the COCOA CUP clay eyeshadow in a warm brown shade to complete the eye contour. We fill in the entire eyelid with the delicate, slightly opalescent VANILLA mineral eyeshadow .

Accentuate your lips with a creamy lip liner in the shade Clover. A muted, semi-matte pink will beautifully complete this subtle look. Done!
