I can’t stop thinking about the “Sephora Kid” phenomenon, where the pretents are buying anti -aging and equally retinol creams. At first glance, it seems absurd. But we live in a culture that tells women that our power is in our beauty, then treat that beauty as if it had an expiration date. At any age, unlearn the idea that showing signs of aging is inherently “bad” requires a lot of effort. Special when you try to find the balance between wanting to see and feel better, and feel safe on your skin, whatever happens. After all, the key to makeup in its 40, or any age, is to learn to highlight its natural brightness.
“Regardless of their age, most women do not want to seem more compensated,” says Bobbi Brown, makeup artist and founder of Jones Road Beauty. “They want to look like themselves on their best day. When a woman feels good on her skin and knows that she looks better, then she is sure and happy. In my experience, the two best beauty products you can have are confidence and happy.”
Your guide to shine in your 40
How do you navigate your relationship with beauty as you aged? Part of this comes with a deep reflection and looking at the wisdom of women who have come before you. Some of this also realize the redefinition of what aging means with grace for you as your life changes, and your hormones too.
“I think we need to hug who we are at all ages, defects and everything,” says Brown. Armed with knowledge about how the skin changes, especially as it enters or navigates for 40, it can demystify the aging trip and be proactive about what it means to take care of yourself, both inside and out.
Brown’s advice reminds us that beauty is not just about how we see each other, it’s about how we feel. Especially as we age, beauty is about growing rituals that help us live better, which pays dividends in how we appear in the world.
How does your skin change in your 40?
Our skin changes all the time. Depending on the quality of sleep, stress or the glass of wine at dinner, its skin is a living organism, constantly in flow. “When I look in the mirror and look really tired or my skin looks opaque, the first thing I do is verify in what I have my legs eating and drinking,” says Brown. “I begin to monitor my sleep habits. If you look and feel tired, it is probably because you are tired and dehydrated.”
Our skin becomes less resistant to age, which makes it difficult to recover. Brown confirms: “As we age, our skin naturally gets three. We begin to lose collagen and elasticity, and some days, our skin could apple and a little less radiant than.” In turn, how your skin looks affects how your makeup looks.
What products improve your brightness, instead or covering it?
The products you choose can sabotage or support your skin. Audite your makeup to confirm that each product contains nutritious ingredients that increase the natural brightness of your skin. “Be sure to wear makeup that adds moisture to the skin,” says Brown.
Another Brown advice: “omits the heavy coverage base and look for something light. Traditional makeup can be seen in dust and cakey on dry skin, sinking into fine lines,” he says.
Thanks to the new multitasking makeup products market, you don’t have to choose between nourishing your skin and mastering a makeup routine to feel good. Brown’s favorite? “I love a multitasking product that is skin care and makeup in one, and that is why Miracle Balm is my number one product that uses every day.”
What essential elements make a good makeup routine for 40?
“As I have Goths, I have less makeup than ever,” says Brown. “I don’t want to feel too invented. I just want a fast and easy routine that makes me look better.”
Who else can be related to?
Bowing to rituals, from its morning routine to its makeup routine, it is about facilitating life. It channels the trust and self -knowledge you have won, since you are older in all areas of your life, including your beauty approach. No matter what I hear about beauty as you get old, makeup in its 40 is not not also stressful. It can be energizing.
Here is Brown’s routine for makeup in its 40:
Step 1: Hydrorurate and protect
The first step in any makeup routine must be the preparation of clean skin, which only becomes more important as we age. The natural resilience of our skin is decreasing, so our skin care needs to compensate for the difference.
Products with collagen and elastin Replace our reduction reserves and then preventive ingredients such as antiOxidants and sunscreen help to ensure that we are not accelerator Our natural aging.
“Your makeup routine must always start with sunscreen, every day, only in winter,” says Brown. “The sunscreen is not negotiable, and it should be the last step in its skin care routine, before putting on makeup.”
Step 2: Tez coverage
We associate a radiant and bright complexion with youth. But real, it’s more about how you treat your skin than the age you are. The best steps for a clear complexion, also, begin with their lifestyle: special for enough sleep.
But light coverage products can help fill the gaps. Brown recommends finding a light signature product that gives “the correct amount of coverage, dye and humidity to pass through its busiest days and feel better.”
Step 3: Hide, slightly
The makeup in its 40 is about having a light touch. This means making peace with any imperfection that can take a look. So it is easy in the corrector products, strategically using the theme to add light to your face instead of exaggerating it in an attempt to cover up all its so -called “defects.”
Professional advice: the use of fingertips instead of brushes makes it a more perfect mixture.
Brown likes corrector pencils, but a good light cream is very useful. His advice: “hides the dark circles under the eyes and neutralizes any redness that you can have around your nose or on your cheeks.”
Finish with a bush or light dust to avoid brightness. Brown recommends “a fast powder of a tinting face dust that instantly simply equals the tone of your skin.”
Step 4: Add a little color
To establish an exclusive makeup aspect in its 40, discover what its essential elements are. What makes you feel safer? A red lip? A bold eye? A washing or blush? Instead of doing everything, reduce your signature accents. That is the definition of chic.
“Try a multitasking tint balm like the miraculous balm that can use its blush color and lips,” says Brown. “Finally, I will add a layer or two or mask of Rímel, and I have finished. If you have an extra minute, use a eyeliner to align your upper eyelashes.”
