As we age, the usual shades of lipstick and blush begin to work against us. What adorned me at 25 suddenly emphasizes fatigue, wrinkles and makes my face look somehow — either bluish or gray. How to choose the right pink lipstick color, the makeup artist told in the Zen blog “Irina Rassadina” (18+).
Remember, if you are over 40 years old, bright cool fuchsia or neon pink are no longer your “friends”. After forty, such shades only highlight the vascular network and circles under the eyes.
Which lipstick to choose at 40-50 years old?
It is best to choose complex pink colors with warm or muted undertones.
For warm undertones, choose coral pink and peach shades – they will add radiance to the skin. If you have cool-toned skin, look for a lipstick with a nude or grayish base, such as Dusty Rose. These colors look natural and noble.
How to correctly determine your undertone?
There is an easy way to choose your color: compare the chosen shade with the color of the pad of your thumb. If they are in harmony, then lipstick or blush will do.
Important: Don't forget about texture. Cream and satin lipsticks look “younger” than matte ones. It is better to take cream or cream-powder blush – they blend into the skin and do not highlight wrinkles.
