Beauty injections
The main mistake of girls over 30 is overdoing it with fillers and hyaluronic acid. Sooner or later, foreign substances in the skin will become noticeable. I don't see anything wrong with real wrinkles - from a tender smile, kind sadness and romantic sadness. I understand that you are 50, and in your heart 30, but your skin is not to blame - it is in its place, you have facial expressions!
If you are still worried, sign up for mesotherapy, find a good beautician, take a course of massage.
The other day I talked with international make-up artists Giorgio Armani Donatella and Barbara - they are adored by the stars (Barbara was preparing Nicole Kidman for the Oscar) and the whole world. These women immediately show that they are not young, but every wrinkle is natural and "well-deserved".
Thick tone
Over the years, our skin holds cosmetics in a different way: an abundance of tone or matting powder highlights all imperfections and emphasizes that you are no longer young.
For women aged I recommend switching to BB and CC-creams, try tinted beauty-balms. My favorite CC cream is Luminessence, Armani Beauty. I recommend Hydra Life BB cream, Dior and Hydra Sparkling Nude Look, Givenchy. For a tinted balm, contact MAC - Prep + Prime BB Beauty Balm is good for both young and aging skin. The balm is applied with fingers, has a translucent texture and is perfectly shaded.
Sculptors
Forget about gray-brown tones on the face! I call this mistake "Anastasia Volochkova". She often puts greenish tints on the cheekbones. This dull tone ages the face, kills all the freshness. Why do you need a sculptor? With age, the skin acquires a natural shade, it is better to add the correct blush of cream and satin textures. I recommend the MAC Mineralize Blush baked cold peach shade (New Romance) - you will "shine" from the inside. I love Diorblush Cheek Stick, Dior and Le Prisme Blush, Givenchy.
Tattoo
The worst mistake! The tattoo looks artificial in all cases. It's great to be able to paint on your face, create a mood. It is much better to adjust the eyebrows with a pencil or tint - use a creamy texture to restore density, and then give the desired shape with eyebrow gel. I like the new Russian brand Manly Pro: Brow Tint gel tints, Manly Pro pencils and Manly Pro eyebrow fixing gel. Inglot and Senna have excellent textures of eyebrow gels, and for color options I recommend heading to MAC
Emphasis on accent
Radiant blush, active eyebrows, expressive arrows and bright lips - when women focus on everything at once, the effect disappears. The face looks "heavy", the age becomes evident. I recommend two accents: for example, active blush and wide eyebrows. Another option is soft eyebrows, a contoured eye contour, and an emphasis on lipstick. Any deliberate overkill kills naturalness - let's keep this in mind and maintain a balance.
