8 Makeup Products to Avoid After 50

Heavy Foundation

Thick foundations can settle into fine lines and wrinkles, emphasizing them rather than providing a smooth finish.

Powder Foundation

Powder can make mature skin look dry and cakey, highlighting wrinkles and giving an uneven texture.

Matte Lipstick

Matte formulas can be drying, emphasizing fine lines and making lips appear thinner and less plump.

Shimmery Eyeshadow

Glitter and shimmer can settle into creases, making eyelids look more wrinkled and drawing attention to imperfections.

Dark Lip Liner

Dark lip liner can create a harsh look, making lips appear thinner and emphasizing the aging around the mouth area.

Thick Eyeliner

Heavy eyeliner can look harsh and make eyes appear smaller, drawing attention to drooping or fine lines around the eyes.

Powder Blush

Powder blush can accentuate dry patches and fine lines. Cream blushes blend more seamlessly into mature skin.

Heavy Concealer

Thick concealers can crease and settle into fine lines, making imperfections more noticeable instead of concealing them.
