Have you ever put on your makeup exactly the way you always have, looked in the mirror a few hours later and thought, “Why does this suddenly look so different?”
Your foundation is finding every dry line. The smoky eye you used to love is smudging into the little creases around your eyes. Your eyeliner seems to be making your eyes look smaller instead of more defined.
The problem may not be your face.
A lot of us are still applying makeup using techniques we learned on a very different face, and those old habits don’t always give us the same result in midlife.
In this episode, I’m sharing 5 makeup habits worth rethinking after 50, including how much foundation and powder you really need, why your eyeliner placement matters, what moving your blush can do for the face, and how to add definition as our features naturally begin to soften.
We’ll also talk about why I am NOT interested in giving you another list of things women over 50 are no longer “allowed” to wear.
Wear the shimmer. Wear the lipstick. Have fun with your makeup.
This episode is for you if makeup has started feeling frustrating, heavier, or simply a little “off” and you want to learn how to work with the woman you are now.
In this episode:
- Why more foundation can actually call more attention to texture
- Where powder can help and where it may be making dryness more obvious
- How full-wrap eyeliner can visually make the eye look smaller
- Simple eyeliner and eyeshadow placement changes I use on my own eyes
- Why blush placement can change the direction your eye follows
- What my nanny taught me about trying to recreate definition as our features soften
- Why changes in your face don’t mean makeup no longer looks good on you
Most importantly, remember: you are not signing a lifelong contract with your makeup.
Move the blush. Try less powder. Change the eyeliner. Play with it. It washes off.
