Make-Up Tips That’ll Make Your Mature Clients Look Younger
As any beautician knows, all the brightening peels, smoothing serums and lifting creams in the world will only get your clients so far in their quest for eternal youthfulness. When you develop a knack for applying make-up on mature clients, you can give your clients a vibrant, youthful appearance without making it seem like they’re trying too hard. It’s a fine line to walk, but once you master that walk, you will surely be in high demand with a lucrative clientele.
Priming the Skin for Perfection
Preparing mature skin for make-up ensures a perfected canvas, assisting the make-up to perform better. Search for a primer that also offers immediate anti-ageing benefits for your mature clients, which is capable of immediately tightening and brightening the skin to effortlessly mimic a youthful and hydrated complexion.
This helps to create a smooth base on which to apply the make-up. Keep in mind, a great primer also works as a glow-giving finisher, when you gently press it onto the skin after applying the foundation. When working with make-up, it’s all about subtlety after all.
Smart-Cover Approach
When applying make-up on mature skin, it’s always best to employ a less-is-more approach when applying foundation. Using a full coverage formula on the face’s most visible parts helps to hide dark circles, redness, and even veins and hyper pigmentation. It also assists with hiding enlarged pores, broken capillaries and scars.
Avoid sheer options and resist the urge to apply foundation willy-nilly around the entire face. Sheer options mean you’ll be piling on the concealer in an effort to camouflage imperfections. This results in a caked-on look, which you want to avoid at all costs.
