What Type of Makeup Products Are Best Avoided on Mature Skin?

When it comes to makeup, we all want to look our best and feel fabulous, no matter our age. However, as our skin matures, the makeup products we used in our twenties might not give us the same results. So, what type of makeup products are best avoided on mature skin? Let's dive in and find out how to keep your makeup game strong with a few smart choices. 💁‍♀️✨

1. Heavy Foundations
Gone are the days when heavy, thick foundations were the go-to for a flawless finish. As our skin matures, it becomes more delicate and prone to fine lines and wrinkles. Heavy foundations tend to settle into these lines, accentuating them rather than concealing them. This can leave your skin looking cakey and aged. 🚫🥧
What to use instead: Opt for a soft, lightweight foundation. Aeroblend’s airbrush foundation is a fantastic choice because it provides buildable coverage without the heavy feel. It evens out your skin tone and gives you that airbrushed finish, making you look radiant and youthful. 🌟

2. Matte Formulas
Matte makeup products, whether foundation, lipstick, or eyeshadow, can be very drying. For mature skin, which tends to lose moisture over time, this can be a disaster. Matte formulas can make your skin look flat and emphasize texture, making fine lines and wrinkles more noticeable. 🙅‍♀️

What to use instead: Go for lightweight formula that can achieve a healthy glow for your skin. Products with a natural supple finish are perfect for mature skin as they impart a youthful radiance. Aeroblend’s airbrush foundation has a natural finish that strikes the perfect balance of a natural matte finish for your skin, giving you a fresh-faced look. 💖

AeroTip: Mix a couple drops of Aeroblend’s Champagne Toast Highlighter to add a beautiful luminous glow to your skin.

3. Powder Products
Powder products, especially setting powders and powder foundations, can be tricky for mature skin. They often settle into fine lines and wrinkles, making them more pronounced. Additionally, powders can absorb natural oils, leaving your skin looking dry and lifeless. 😱

What to use instead: Cream and liquid products are your best friends. They blend seamlessly into the skin, providing a smoother, more youthful appearance. Aeroblend’s airbrush foundation, blush, bronzer, highlighter, and Aeroblend’s Real Brush Crème Skin Perfector are all great options that provide a beautiful finish without settling into lines. 🌺

4. Glitter and Shimmer
While a touch of shimmer can be fun, heavy, chunky glitter and shimmer products can draw attention to fine lines and wrinkles. They can also look overly harsh on mature skin, which tends to be more textured. ✨🚫

What to use instead: Opt for products with a subtle sheen or a soft, satin finish. These give you a beautiful glow without being overpowering. Aeroblend’s products are designed to enhance your natural beauty with a soft-focus effect that’s flattering for all ages. Additionally, the shimmer in Aeroblend’s Champagne Toast highlighter are super fine and micronized to impart a soft, subtle glow without drawing attention to flaws. 🌸

5. Dark, Heavy Eye Makeup
Dark, heavy eye makeup can make your eyes look smaller and more tired. As we age, our eyelids can become hooded or droopy, and heavy eye makeup can accentuate this. 😴

What to use instead: Stick to lighter, more natural shades that brighten and open up your eyes. A soft eyeliner and a bit of mascara can do wonders for defining your eyes without overwhelming them. All of Aeroblend’s airbrush makeup shades are safe to use around the eye area and are perfect for creating a soft, natural look that enhances your eyes beautifully. 👁️✨

6. Overly Matte or Drying Lipsticks
Matte lipsticks are known for their staying power, but they can also be very drying. For mature skin, this means they can settle into lip lines and make your lips look thinner and more wrinkled. 💄

What to use instead: Creamy, hydrating lipsticks or lip glosses are a much better choice. They keep your lips looking plump and youthful. Look for formulas with moisturizing ingredients to keep your lips soft and smooth. 🌟 While Aeroblend does not currently have any lip products, sign up for our email newsletter and stay tuned for our latest launches and promos.

Airbrush Application Tips on Mature Skin:
Skin Prep 💦
As we age, the more hydration and moisture we’ll need. Don’t be afraid to layer skincare to hydrate, nourish and moisturize your skin. Ie, Hydrating mists, essences, serums and moisturizers. Skin primers are not recommended. Just make sure these products are fully absorbed into your skin before you start to airbrush.

Add a Luminous Glow ✨
Add a few drops of Champagne Toast Highlighter to the airbrush stylus cup along with your Aeroblend airbrush foundation to add a luminous glowy finish.

Start Airbrushing 💁🏻‍♀️✨
Hold the airbrush stylus about six inches from your face and start spraying in circular motions. Begin with a light layer and gradually build up coverage where needed. The fine mist will ensure an even application, and you’ll see those imperfections vanish before your eyes.

Airbrushing Tip for Wrinkles 🧏🏻‍♀️
For deeper wrinkles or loose skin, you may find it helpful to gently lift the skin towards the hairline while airbrushing so that the makeup can get into any grooves.

Finish Your Look 😊✨
