A 60-year-old dermatologist shared her makeup tips for aging skin.
She explained that as your skin evolves with age, so does your makeup routine to accommodate facial features and colors that change as you age.
Dr. Cynthia Bailey shared her anti-aging makeup tips and tricks on a blog publish.
What once looked fresh and captivating on a 21-year-old’s face may not work for a 30-, 40- or 50-year-old, she said.
In addition to wrinkles being introduced into the skin, as people age, their features also begin to change.
The struggle of makeup, then, is “to re-emphasize facial features and colors that have changed or even been lost over the years”.
“Where do our eyebrows go? What happened to our pink, rosy lips?” she asked.
“By the way, where did our cheeks go? Is applying a little blush good enough to bring them back or do we need a little more help?”
Base makeup, she added, is especially complex because it no longer stays in place like it used to.
“Makeup migrates throughout the day into the wrinkled texture of our skin,” explained Bailey.

“As we age, we, especially women, lose our eyebrow hair and it becomes discolored, so you will notice it. Young people have beautiful thick eyebrows, intensely colored with their natural hair color.
In addition to eyebrows, she added that people lose lip color, cheeks become flat, and faces become squarer as they age.

She applied a layer of Dr. Pepper’s Baked Mineral Powder all over the face to prevent the product from accumulating in wrinkles and on the eyelids to prepare the upper eyelid skin for the shadow.
“Just like painting, you prepare your canvas,” she explained.

“Now I’m going to anchor my lashes because, again, you lose them,” she explained.
Using a fluffy brush, she applied the blush, being careful not to apply too much for a natural look.
To finish the look, she used lip liner to add color to her pout.
“Lip liners stick more tenaciously to the lips than lipsticks, which tend to come off,” she explained.
“To recreate my lip color and maintain it while drinking tea, I put this on first and then put lipstick on top.
“As women age, we lose the labia. We lose the philtrum arch.”
After some plum lipstick, her simple yet natural look was complete.
