Mature Skin Prep
One of my favorite parts of doing makeup isn’t just the glam—it’s the prep work that goes into creating a beautiful, lasting base. Recently, I had a wonderful client with mature skin who asked me afterwards, “What did you use on me? My skin still feels amazing the next day!”
That’s the magic of good skin prep. ✨
When working with mature skin, the goal is always hydration, smoothing, and creating a healthy canvas without weighing the skin down. Here’s the exact lineup I used on her:
1. Gentle Cleanser
I started by removing any impurities with a hydrating, non-stripping cleanser. This makes sure the skin is clean without feeling tight.
2. Hydrating Toner or Mist
Next, I added a refreshing mist to give her skin an instant drink of hydration and prep it to absorb the moisturizer better.
3. Lightweight Moisturizer
For mature skin, hydration is everything. I chose a moisturizer that plumped and softened her skin without feeling greasy.
4. Eye Cream
The under-eye area is delicate, especially for mature skin, so I dabbed on a little eye cream to smooth and prep before concealer.
5. Primer
Finally, I used a primer with a blurring effect to smooth fine lines and create a silky surface for foundation.
The result? Her makeup went on seamlessly, stayed fresh throughout the day, and—most importantly—her skin felt nourished even the next morning.
