Shop Hydrating Matte Lipsticks For Older Women
Wearing lipstick is a timeless beauty statement. Whether you're in your 20s or 40s, lipstick has the power to elevate any of your looks. Wearing makeup, even if it's just mascara and lipstick, is fun and can lift up your mood and confidence.
But the catch is that what worked for you in your younger days might not work quite as well on mature skin. The texture of your lips, lip pigmentation and your skin tone can change with time. This means your lipstick also needs an upgrade. Mature women face difficulties in finding suitable lipsticks and need to learn the correct lipstick application methods that guarantee long-lasting wear for mature skin.
Mary Jo K has a line of luxe lipsticks that enhances your charm without bleeding or fading away too soon. Our age-defying lipsticks work with mature lips to make you look fabulous.
How to Apply Lipsticks on Matured Lips?
As we age, lips may lose their fullness and also develop fine lines. So here are the proper steps to apply lipstick for older women:
Step 1: Exfoliate
Your lipstick can look patchy if you apply it on a flaky and cracked pout. Use a gentle lip scrub to exfoliate your lips and slough off dead skin buildup on the surface. Lip exfoliation also helps boost blood circulation and create naturally plump lips.
Step 2: Hydrate
It is important to moisturize your lips for a smoother lipstick application. Hydrated lips will ensure that you have a smooth canvas to apply color on. Apply a nourishing lip balm and let it sink in for a few minutes before grabbing the lipstick tube.
Step 3: Prime
You don't want a smudged lipstick to ruin your look. A lip primer comes in handy to create a barrier that will keep your lipstick in place all day. Using a dab of concealer can also help fill in fine lines and prevent lipstick from feathering.
Step 4: Define
Use a lip liner that is close to your natural lip tone or matches your lipstick shade to trace your lip shape. A lip liner will help prevent the color from bleeding out, help add definition to your lips and give them an overall appealing look.
Step 5: Choose the right formula
Lipstick for mature women should be long-wear and hydrating. Liquid lipstick can prove to be drying and emphasize texture, which is not suitable for mature lips. Go for creamy lipstick and hydrating matte lipstick that offer pigment without any concerns.
Step 6: Apply & Blot
To make your lipstick stay on for a longer time, apply a layer of lipstick first, then blot it gently with a tissue. This helps seal in the lipstick and avoid fading through the day. Apply a second layer of lipstick if you want more pigment.
