Preparation of mature skin for makeup
A well-prepared canvas is the basis for flawless makeup application, especially for mature skin. By focusing on hydration and softness, you create a base that helps make-up look fresh and natural all day long.

Foundation techniques for a flawless, natural look
The key to enhancing mature skin is to focus on smooth, natural-looking skin that highlights your features rather than covering them up. By using the right products and application techniques, you can achieve a finish that feels light and comfortable.
Choose a foundation that evens out your skin tone while letting your natural beauty shine through. Lightweight, buildable formulas, like 100% PURE Fruit Pigmented® Full Coverage Water Foundationthey offer natural coverage with a smooth skin-like finish.
For a youthful look, apply foundation in thin, even layers using a damp sponge or brush for seamless blending. Keep it light and avoid over-application to maintain a fresh, natural look. Use a hydrating concealer such as 100% PURE Long Last Concealer with Super Fruitssparingly under the eyes and on any redness or dark spots to brighten without sticking.
Enhancing eyes with soft definition
When it comes to mature skin, the right eye makeup can beautifully define your eyes while softening the look of fine lines. The goal is to create a polished, natural look that enhances your features without emphasizing texture.
Prime Eyelids for lasting color
Start with an eyeshadow primer to make sure your eyeshadow stays put and resists creasing. A product like 100% PURE Mattifying Primer provides a smooth, even canvas that helps colors look vibrant and last all day.
Choose Soft Shadows and Subtle Definition

To define the eyes, apply a waterproof eyeliner such as 100% PURE Long Last Liquid Eyeliner in Black Teaalong the upper lash line for a subtle, lifting effect.

Brow enhancement for framing and lift
Eyebrows are essential for framing your face and providing structure, but as we age, they can naturally thin or lose their shape. Well-defined brows can make a significant difference in lifting the face and enhancing your features. Filling in your brows with the right products can provide a natural yet defined look that matches your overall look.
To achieve this, choose a fiber-based brow product such as 100% PURE Green Tea Fiber Brow Builderwhich adds fullness and definition without looking overly harsh. Focus on filling in sparse areas and accentuating the natural arch of your brows, as this creates a lifted effect that adds dimension to the face.
