I am completely addicted to makeup and I do pretty well when I apply various products on me, if I say so myself. But my mother (62) asked me to do my makeup for an event. I gladly agreed to do it, but I’m used to working on much younger skin like mine (33) that of my husband (33) or my little sister (13). Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of when working with more mature skin? Tips or tricks to prevent the product from settling in wrinkles and pores? Is there a particular primer that is better for this type of job than others? Any advice is absolutely welcome and much appreciated. Thank you ladies and gentlemen!
The YT channel ‘PAINTEDBYSPENCER’ had a good video with a mature, white-haired model a little while ago. I liked his tip about ‘rolling’ powder on with a puff.
