Primers are another “prep step” that your skin will thank you for. Whatever issues you have with your skin, this will help clear that up and help your makeup stay strong all day long. It can be hard to find time for touch-ups when you are going 100mph!
Tula’s blurring and moisturizing primer instantly smooths the look of uneven skin tone and redness for a radiant, “filter” like finish.

Best Foundations for Women over 50
Having a foundation that can protect from UV rays and moisturize at the same time can be an invaluable tool in your arsenal.

Best Blush for Women over 50
Cream blushes are amazing. They are easy to apply and don’t look cakey or disappear after a few hours. Instead of having a powder blush sit on top of your makeup, work in a little cream blush with your fingertips. Using your fingers to apply foundations, blushes, or primers will warm up the product and your skin while stimulating blood flow, making for a lovely glow.

This is just sheer enough upon initial application to make it easy to work with and layer without going overboard—simply dab it on cheeks and tap into the skin for a natural, flushed-from-within glow.
