No doubt your daughter (or daughterinlaw) has told you numerous times how it her day, but we know that this wedding will be just as important to you too. a religious skincare routine is very important, says Kate Pritchard, Face Designer for Giorgio Armani Cosmetics. will maintain the skin so no nasty surprises arise before the big day. Start by exfoliating once a week. will eliminate dead skin cells and minimise pores, resulting in smooth, radiant skin which allows makeup to glide on, says Pritchard. You should also be cleansing daily. The next (and possibly the most important) step is hydration, which is essential when it comes to radiance. primer will smooth out the skin creating an easy palette for the foundation to glide on to, says Pritchard, while also reducing the textured appearance that mature skin has. Dab concealer onto any blemishes or marks.
When choosing your foundation, avoid thick formulas that look cakey and sink into your fine lines. skin becomes drier with age and your makeup must allow for this. Ireland agrees. liquid foundation in a lightreflecting formula will give the most natural youthful look. tip: is very important to use the correct brushes when applying makeup.

If you prone to shine, blend a loose powder over your foundation. Well groomed eye brows help frame the face and can even lift the appearance of droopy eyes. Choose a lipstick in brighter or lighter shades to add fullness. Avoid dark tones which can be too harsh against your skin tone. will minimise any creasing, says Ireland. Next a concealer should be applied on the eye lid and under the eye in a shade lighter to brighten and open up the eye area for a rested and youthful look.
When choosing your eye shadow, colour and formula are important. colours of eye shadow are too complicated for older lids. Instead use two neutral shades and blend them so they look natural, says Robson. We recommend using a matte eye shadow through the crease of the eyes as shimmery formulas draw attention to any fine lines and puffiness. Save the shimmery shades for the inner part of your lid to awaken the eyes. Perdis has another trick; open up your eyes by curling your lashes with an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Then with a waterproof mascara, focus on applying mascara to your top eye lashes for an upward lifting effect.
Expert tip: dab of concealer at the inner eye corners, blended well, will really make you look bright, fresh and awake. Pamela Robson, Grownup Gorgeous in Your 50sChoosing the right colours is vital for mature skin. The best colours, according to Pritchard, are neutral earthy tones. hues are the most suitable rather than dark harsh colours. You should also avoid using shimmery or very bright colours as they magnify your imperfections. choosing colours for your eyes, cheeks and lips, pick different tones from the same colour family, and avoid mixing cool and warm colours in the one makeup look, says Perdis.
Bobbi Brown, founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, recommends a bit of colour on your cheeks with a cream blush topped with just a touch of powder blush to help it last; it will soften your overall appearance. Napoleon Perdis also recommends considering your clothes when picking colours. colours that complement your outfit, says Perdis, remember that you don have to match your makeup exactly with what you wearing. tip: dusting of pastel pink blush on the apples of your cheeks is also a clever way to distract attention from the dark circles.
