I’ve always believed that age is just a number, especially when it comes to timeless beauties over 50 like Halle Berry, Jennifer Aniston, Elizabeth Hurley, Iman, Jennifer Lopez, and Nicole Kidman. Their radiant faces speak volumes about the power of skincare, wellness, treatments, and makeup techniques. As we gracefully age, our skin undergoes changes, presenting new challenges that demand adjustments in our makeup routines and product choices.
Here are our top makeup tips for enhancing your features and avoiding common makeup mistakes.
1. Prioritize Your Skincare Routine
Investing in a simple, hydrating skincare routine is the foundation of flawless makeup. Start with products like the Tree of Life Trio Skincare Set, recommended for its brightening, firming, and hydrating power. Use the Vitamin C Serum followed by the Hyaluronic Acid Serum in the morning to visibly brighten, reduce dark spots, smooth, and hydrate the skin. Reach for the Retinol Serum followed by the Hyaluronic Acid Serum in the evening to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fade the look of age spots, support elasticity, and soothe the skin.

2. Illuminate with Facial Oil
Achieve a youthful, dewy glow with facial oil. We suggest applying a small amount to your cheekbones to hydrate and create a luminous effect. Opt for products like C.E.O. Glow by Sunday Riley for a radiant complexion. It is infused with pure Vitamin C and calming turmeric, delivering nutrient-rich extracts into your skin for a brighter-looking, glowing complexion.

3. Prep Your Eyelids
Regardless of your eyelid type, using primer can diminish signs of aging and prolong makeup wear. Apply a thin layer of primer like Korean brand Thank Me Later Eye Matte Primer to even out skin tone and enhance the vibrancy of your eyeshadow. It helps enhance the pigment of your eyeshadow, making it appear more bold and vibrant without the fear of fallout. It also helps control oil and keep your look long-lasting, with a smoother application.

4. Apply Foundation Strategically
An important makeup tip is to start your routine by applying a creamy foundation to the center of your face, where coverage is often needed the most. Blend outward with a flat brush for a seamless finish. We recommend products like Clinique Even Better Glow Light Reflecting Makeup for a natural-looking complexion.

5. Enhance Your Brows
As we age, brows may thin and develop grays. Combat these changes by using a brow gel to fill in sparse areas and add volume. Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil with its angled tip and spoolie is perfect for effortless brow enhancement.

6. Set Your Makeup
A tip for combating makeup fading is to apply a setting spray to keep your look intact throughout the day. Opt for hydrating options like the Milani Make It Dewy Setting Spray for an illuminating finish. It will prime, set and hydrate skin while also giving your brightness a boost. Keep it in your makeup bag for the perfect glow on the go!

7. Opt for Smudged Eyeliner
As eyelids can become more hooded after 50, traditional eyeliner application can become challenging. Instead, dot eyeliner along the upper lash line and smudge for a softer, flattering look. Try the Laura Geller New York Kajal Longwear Eyeliner with built-in sharpener. It is richly pigmented and infused with Vitamin E and Caffeine for a long-wearing formula that hydrates and conditions your eyelids. Plus, it adds a caffeine boost to reduce puffiness and redness.
