Contour and definition tips for mature women

 

As our skin changes, so do our makeup techniques-it’s something that I had to accept and adjust with for months because my previous makeup techniques were no longer serving me.

If you're in the same boat as me and you’re wondering “how the heck do I contour aging skin?”, you’ve come to the right place. Here are my contouring tips for aging skin.

First and foremost, you have to find the perfect product. With aging skin, the softer and more hydrating it is, the better. If you have the patience for it, I recommend liquid definition products such as Spotlight Cosmetics Limitless Multiuse Cream.

Why are these tints for aging skin?

1. Versatility: These tints are multi use, meaning you can use them for contouring, as well as on your cheeks, eyes, and lips. Talk about a beauty staple that simplifies your routine.

2. Creamy Texture: As we age, our skin tends to lose some of its moisture. The creamy, hydrating formula of these tints blends effortlessly into the skin, avoiding the dreaded cakey look.

3. Buildable Coverage: Whether you're going for a subtle, natural look or a more defined contour, the buildable coverage allows you to customize your application without settling into fine lines.

4. Natural Finish: The tints give a beautiful, natural finish that enhances your skin's natural glow, making you look fresh and radiant.

Now that you have the perfect product, let's talk application. Here are some tips to get that flawless contour on aging skin:

1. Prep Your Canvas

Always start with a well-moisturized face. This ensures that your contour glides on smoothly. Consider using a primer that's specifically formulated for mature skin to help fill in any fine lines and create an even base.

2. Choose the Right Shade

For contouring, choose a shade that's slightly darker than your natural skin tone. With Spotless Limitless Multiuse Tints, you can find a shade that complements your skin without looking too harsh or artificial.

3. Apply Strategically

Focus on the areas where you naturally have shadows. Typically, this includes the hollows of your cheeks, along your jawline, and at the sides of your nose. Use a light hand — less is more when it comes to contouring aging skin.

4. Blend, Blend, Blend

Blending is key! Use a damp beauty sponge or a soft brush to blend the tint seamlessly into your skin. This helps avoid harsh lines and creates a soft, natural contour.

5. Highlight Wisely

Pair your contour with a subtle highlight. Apply a light, illuminating shade to the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your cupid's bow to bring light to your face.

6. Set with a Soft Touch

For a long-lasting look, lightly set your contour with a translucent powder. Opt for a formula that won't settle into fine lines and keeps your skin looking dewy.

Remember, beauties, age is just a number, and makeup is all about having fun and feeling fabulous. With these tips and the Spotless Limitless Multiuse Tints in your beauty arsenal, you're ready to rock that contour with confidence.
