One tone bright and glossy skin realizes the appearance minus 5 years old!
The secret to youthful base make-up is to eliminate shadows and color unevenness on the skin, make it uniform, and bring out a natural luster.
“Aged skin tends to look dull and unhealthy, so use a pink base to tone it up. After applying foundation, cover blemishes with concealer and add a complexion with blush to create a youthful-looking skin.” (Egao) Beauty salon, Mr. Suzuki)
The basics of base makeup from the 50s are the following 5 steps.
* This article is an excerpt from ” Best Cosmetics & Hair Care Items from 50 ” (Fusosha). The prices of cosmetics are those at the time of issue (as of November 2021), and are all tax-included.
Base makeup step 1: Base
Dot the base under the eyebrows, the corners of the eyes, the corners of the eyes, the sides of the nose, and the corners of the mouth where shadows appear, and blend in with a light gradation toward the outside.
Base makeup step 2: foundation
Place 5 spots of foundation on your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, spread it from the inside to the outside in the same way as the foundation, and wrap it with both hands to make it stick!
Base makeup step 3: Concealer
Place the concealer on the dark spots and acne scars around the eyes and tap gently with your finger.
Base makeup step 4: Kneaded cheek
Prepare kneaded teak. Place 3 dots each on the high cheeks and tap with your fingers to form a horizontal oval to blend.
Base makeup step 5: Face powder
Rub well with the puff to remove excess powder, and apply pressure around the eyebrows and nostrils. Apply the remaining powder on the entire face and let it adhere.
[Additional alpha] Add highlights for a three-dimensional glossy skin
If you add highlights before face powder, you can increase the three-dimensional effect. The positions to highlight are the C zone next to the eyes, the T zone from the forehead to the bridge of the nose, and the tip of the chin.

From the 50s, the base is a pink base that improves the gloss and complexion
Among these 5 steps, it is important to select the “base” that is the basis of base makeup. “The role of the foundation is to remove dullness and brighten the base of the face!” says Mr. Suzuki of Egao Beauty Salon.
“Many women in their 50s are concerned about the dullness of their entire face. If you use a base that has no color on your aged skin, your complexion may look pale because it lacks complexion. , The rule of thumb is to use a pink base that gives a plump and soft impression to tone up while adding a complexion.Choose a type that gives an elegant luster, not a matte one.”
