Fifty doesn’t mean not being chic

Aging is a part of life, but it doesn’t mean that women in their fifties are past their zenith. On the contrary, they age like a good quality wine and with today’s possibilities of all rejuvenation methods and a healthy lifestyle, they can still look an age that no one would guess. It is important to always take care of yourself carefully, to look as natural as possible and to consult experienced make-up artists when applying make-up. Although the lips at an older age lose their youthful elasticity and expressive shade, it can be saved by the correctly chosen type and color of lipstick.

What kind of lipstick to choose

Older women tend to have less hydrated lips, so you should avoid lipsticks that dry out. In most cases, liquid and matte lipsticks are unsuitable in this regard, as they also tend to sink into the fine lines around the mouth. They draw unnecessary attention to possible flaws, add years and spoil an overall beautiful face. It is better to choose moisturizing and nourishing lipsticks, often a gentle toning balm will also do an excellent job.

The basic principle of shade selection

Dark or light color? You won’t get a clear answer here, because it depends on many other aspects. It is always necessary to adapt the color not only to the rest of the make-up, but also to what model you are wearing and where you are going.

There is no reason why you should give up matching bolder colors after your 50s, but there is always an important principle to follow. If you wear make-up with heavily made-up eyes, choose softer shades for the lips. This principle also applies vice versa, as soon as the eyes are painted only gently, on the contrary, pout the lips, but always with the appropriate feeling.

It also depends on the shape of the lips and skin tone

An equally important criterion for the right shade of lipstick is the size and shape of your lips. If you belong to women with narrow lips, opt for a lighter shade and preferably with a glossy effect.

Women with full and large lips can afford slightly bolder colors. In both cases, however, the undertone of the skin also plays an important role. Cold shades don’t go well with bronze, and very dark colors don’t go well with light. According to these rules, experienced make-up artists recommend more natural shades of lipstick to older women, which should always harmonize with the undertones of the skin.

5 shades to avoid

Definitely avoid the dark brown color, which is very hard for mature women and will make you not only older, but in a way “outdated”. In a similar way, the color burgundy and purple also work in very dark shades. In the same way, give vale to flashy pink lipsticks and forget about tacky neon shades.

And which lipsticks to bet on?

For mature women, warm, moderate and light colors in soft shades, which brighten the whole face and emphasize the natural color of the skin, age the most. And what are this year’s trends for older women according to stylists and make-up artists? Shades of old pink, peach, coral, raspberry and also in caramel colors clearly win.
