Hello to all readers of my channel!

Again, I want to talk with you about makeup and discuss what stages in makeup you can skip without a twinge of conscience and worries that you are doing something wrong.

What steps in makeup you can skip (relevant for women 50+): stay beautiful and save money

Previously, the beauty industry took makeup very seriously: a lot of prohibitions, restrictions and prejudices. But this is already in the past, makeup has become more self-expression and prohibitions are becoming less and less. And who can forbid me something, if I like to paint so much, it does not disfigure me and everything turns out beautifully. The only thing that can limit us is some nuances in the application of the product, but it is up to everyone to follow them or not.

The first step you can skip is tone

A bold statement, isn't it? If you are satisfied with the condition of your skin, then the tone will be an unnecessary purchase for you. Even if you have some color nuances that confuse you, you can mask them with a point concealer to match your skin color.

Recently, I more and more often catch myself thinking that for daytime makeup, the hand does not reach for the tone at all, even the lightest. And I choose cream correction, because dry textures can stick.

From my subscribers over 50, I realized that many do not like to use tone. Someone wants to reduce the time for makeup, someone does not like the feeling of a "mask on the face". Therefore, dear women, you may well do without him.

The second step that you can skip is powder

What do many people use powder for? Because oily skin and I want to make it more matte. Highlight dry skin with reflective powder. Use a setting powder to make the makeup look more long-lasting. If you do not have such desires, then it is quite possible to do without powder, and remove oily sheen with matting napkins.

Of course, I have powders in my cosmetic bag. Simply because I often write about cosmetics, and by duty they should be there to show you. I don’t use powder at all in my makeup, I don’t like their feeling on the skin.

The third step that you can (and sometimes should!) Skip is the sculptor

In the last year, I fell out of love with sculptors, because they still have a cold undertone, which, if applied incorrectly, can add age and make the face tired.

If your cheekbones are expressive, then it is not necessary to emphasize them even more with a sculptor, visually, without him, the makeup will not be worse. True, it can be worse if you decide to make your face narrower (spoke almost in verse), while shading the sculptor poorly or applying it in the wrong place.

Correction of the face can be done with a bronzer, it is warmer.

Fourth product to skip is concealer

I love concealers. I always use it because I have bruises under my eyes and there are imperfections. But if you do not have bruises and hollows under the eyes, then it is quite possible to do with one tone (if you use it of course).

On my own I will say that sometimes it may not be needed in daily makeup. And it makes sense to apply another layer if you have no apparent reason for the correction.

The fifth tool that is not necessary to use is a highlighter

Wow, I love highlighters and I have more than 20 of them in my cosmetic bag. But there are situations when it is better not to use it. For example: wrinkles and unevenness on the skin, shine can further accentuate them. And in general, if for some reason you do not like the highlighter, then why rape yourself.

This article is not calling you for anything. I just wanted to tell you that if you do not want to use a product, then you can do without it and not use it just because someone said "must".
