Personally, at my age, I have a hard time using any type of powder on my face. It really ages my complexion.
However, I’ve always admired the smooth, flawless look that powdered mineral makeup offers.
And what’s not to love about mineral makeup?
Since I'm a big fan of mineral foundations, I wanted to share my discovery on how to make powdered foundations look fantastic, especially for mature skin.
In this post, I'll share tips I've found to make mineral makeup work wonders for dry skin.
LOVE the look and coverage of powder foundations? But think you can wear them because you have dry or mature skin?
You can still get a beautiful finish with just a few tweaks to your makeup routine. Try these tips before applying your mineral powder:
Exfoliate:
First, make sure to exfoliate your skin weekly, so you don’t run into any bumpy, dry patches.
In fact, if you have dry skin, you should gently exfoliate at least once a week. I prefer to exfoliate twice a week. To save money, make your own face salt scrub by following these beauty tips.
Moisturize:
You probably already know this, but make sure to apply a good hydrating moisturizer before any makeup application.
If your skin is very dry, apply on top of your moisturizer. Try this:
Prime:
Here is the secret...Prime your face before applying makeup!
An excellent lightweight conditioning primer not only helps hydrate but prepares your skin for makeup and allows for a smoother application.
A makeup primer also helps seal the moisturizer and protect the skin.
It also helps reduce the appearance of large pores and blurs fine lines. Just make sure to always apply your moisturizer first, then prime.
TIP: Make sure your moisturizer has had a chance to absorb before applying a primer. If you put it on too soon, your makeup won't last as long.
