Celebrity makeup artist Ash K. Holm, known for working with stars like Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande, shares her top tips for achieving a dewy makeup look for oily skin. Holm recommends using cream blush or highlighter over powder to control shine, applying thin layers of makeup to prevent separation, and setting makeup with lightweight powders and setting sprays. She emphasizes the importance of layering setting sprays and powders to lock in the look, especially in hot climates. Holm's advice aims to make professional makeup techniques accessible to everyday users.
Experts recommend adjusting skincare and makeup routines for individuals over 40 to address changes in the skin, such as sagging, dryness, and decreased collagen production. Key skincare products include retinol, vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and moisturizers with hyaluronic acid. Sunscreen and proper skin prep are essential. Makeup should focus on a natural base, with lighter products and less shimmer. Creamy products, moisturizers, and primers are recommended. Expert-recommended products include antioxidant and hydrating serums, sunscreens, moisturizers, retinoids, cleansers, lip products, creamy contour and concealer, and an eyebrow pencil.
Makeup artist Bobbi Brown shares her favorite products and tips for concealing fine lines on mature skin. She emphasizes the importance of using the right moisturizer as a base to prevent makeup from settling into wrinkles. Brown recommends a rich moisturizer for dry skin and a thick, oil-free option for oily skin. She advises using talc-free powders sparingly to avoid drying out the skin and suggests layering products instead of using multipurpose formulas. Brown recommends using foundation and concealer with a creamy texture and hydrating ingredients. To refresh the skin throughout the day, she suggests applying a small amount of lightweight moisturizer over makeup.
