Rejuvenate your 50s! Tips for applying adult foundation
For those in their 50s and early 50s who are concerned about wrinkles, blemishes, and dullness, creating a textured skin is an important aspect of makeup. If you worry about your troubled areas and apply a thick coat, you may end up looking older than you are. The basic foundation for people in their 50s is “thin application”! A step-by-step guide on how to apply a simple, finger-and-hand foundation for youthful, healthy-looking skin.
[Preparation] Beautifully apply the 50s fashion! One extra effort
As you get older, smile lines and thinning around the eyes become more noticeable, but in your 50s you can cover them with a little effort before applying makeup.
Make wrinkles inconspicuous with “Nasolabial Pukupuku Painting”
Before applying makeup, apply a highlighter to the nasolabial folds and blow out the shadowed areas with light. Take the highlight color on your little finger and put it on your cheeks while puffing it up. As a guideline, it should be placed on the side of the nostril, about half above the nasolabial fold.
Brighten your eyes with “Falling bear highlight”
People in their 50s and early 50s who are getting thinner around the eyes may find that the inner corner of the eye is sunken and looks like a bear. Therefore, add highlights to the recessed part of the inner corner of the eye. Pull the inner corner of the eye toward the nose with one finger, and place the highlight with the little finger on the hollow part of the inner corner of the eye.
[Color selection] Choose a foundation in your 50s that matches your collarbone
When adults in their 50s choose foundation colors based on their faces, they tend to have a white cast, which can cause them to look older. When choosing a color, it is recommended to use the “clavicle”. Sunlight hits the clavicle and cheeks at a similar angle, so if you match it with the clavicle, the color of the face and neck will blend and the tone of the face will be adjusted.
Choose the color of your makeup base according to your concerns. If you are in your 50s and are concerned about blemishes, choose orange, and if you are concerned about redness, choose green. Also, if you want to add luster, you can choose a pearl-containing base, or if you are worried about shine, you can choose a base that reduces sebum.
Lightly painted in the 50s! How to apply foundation using fingers
The foundation of the 50s foundation is just “thin application”. It is a good idea to apply from the center of the face toward the face line, consciously stretching from the inside to the outside.
1 Start painting from 3 cheekbones
After applying the makeup base, apply one pump of liquid foundation to the back of your hand. Spread it with your middle finger until the skin is transparent and use the amount left on your finger.
Do 1, 2, 3 and apply the foundation from the high part of the cheekbone to the bottom. By starting from this part where stains are easily noticeable, the flaws can be covered naturally.
2nd Lower Triangular Zone
After stretching it over the entire face, use the small amount of foundation left on your fingers and apply it to the “triangular zone under the eyes”. Firmly cover worrisome areas such as blemishes and dark circles.
Apply a small amount of foundation left on your fingers to your forehead, T-zone, nose bridge, etc. in the same way.
3 Cover trouble spots
Redness on the side of the nose and dullness on the corners of the mouth and eyelids are important points that make you look older. If you are in your 50s and are concerned about uneven skin tone, take a thin layer of foundation on your finger and apply it in fine detail to cover the troubled areas.

While covering areas of concern, the 50s foundation is lightly applied. It is the completion of youthful minus 5 years old skin that keeps the feeling of bare skin.
