Some time ago, actor Chen Shu posted a set of birthday photos celebrating her 46th birthday on social platforms, in which she was wearing a dress with a neckline, shoulder-length hair, and a pair of pearl earrings, and the whole person looked gentle and elegant.
What is shocking is her good state, from the photo does not look at all like a 46-year-old person, saying that 36 is not objected. However, some netizens did not feel like Chen Shu after seeing her photos, and some even said that they "didn't recognize it".
It is not difficult to find that the biggest change in the number of Chen in this group of photos is in makeup, especially eye makeup. Chen Shu's previous eye makeup will be thicker, giving people a higher sense of maturity, and in this set of photos, it can be seen that the eyeliner eyeshadow is basically not visible, and the entire makeup is closer to the state of "plain face", and looks 10 years younger.
So why do you look 10 years older with makeup? What issues should middle-aged women pay attention to when wearing makeup? Let's take a look together:
First, why do I look 10 years older with makeup? Middle-aged women should avoid these 4 minefields with makeup
[Why do I look 10 years older with makeup?] 】
The biggest reason why makeup is 10 years old is that the makeup is too thick, because heavy makeup requires a more three-dimensional facial features to support, which is unfriendly to most flat Asians. In addition, the heavy makeup itself is more bright and crowded, and the maturity will be particularly strong.
Simply put, that is, makeup with strong color contrast, no matter what kind of personification is easy to look old.
For example, high round and round, heavy makeup with high color contrast is compared with light makeup, and it is obvious that the former looks a lot older:
[4 major misunderstandings of middle-aged women's makeup, this way it is too old]
Minefield 1: The base makeup is too heavy or fake
As many women age, their skin tone will become darker, so some people want to choose some whiter foundation shades to brighten the skin tone of the face. Although it looks white, it will actually look unnatural and fake because the base makeup is too white and the skin tone is too different. Moreover, the thick liquid foundation is also easy to float powder and appear rough, making the face look very dirty and sloppy.
>> base makeup wants to be lightweight, do a good job of moisturizing before makeup
If you want to have a light and natural base, you must do a good moisturizing work before makeup, so that our makeup can be more conformant and not powdered. Note that whether you wear makeup or not, you should apply sunscreen to prevent melanin pigmentation and delay skin aging, making us look younger.
>> pick a liquid foundation that suits your skin tone
For the selection of liquid foundation, you need to pay attention, liquid foundation is mainly to even skin tone, be sure to choose a foundation that is close to your skin tone. When choosing, you can choose a shade close to the skin tone on the side of the face or neck, so that the base makeup will not look fake.
If you feel that your face is dull, you can choose an isolation with a brightening effect to make your face look clearer and brighter.
Minefield 2: Think that the thicker the eye makeup, the more age-reducing it is
For middle-aged women, makeup is focused on brightening rather than brightening, especially eye makeup. Many women will have drooping eyes, deepening eye sockets, and want to use strong eye shadow to modify or achieve the effect of reducing age, but the consequences of this are getting older and older, and there is a sense of dust. When she was young, Chen Yanxi also looked corny and tacky because of her strong eye makeup:
>> the eyeshadow should be natural, choose earth tones
In the choice of eyeshadow must be natural, do not choose any red, green, orange and other bright eyeshadow, these colors will only make us look old-fashioned. If you don't have much requirements for makeup on a daily basis, it's okay not to wear eyeshadow. If you have more time, you can choose earthy eyeshadow, a small number of dips, don't start too heavy, after dipping, you can now tap three times on your hand and then draw it will not appear very thick.
>> eyeliner should not be too thick, the focus is on adding depth
In addition to eyeshadow, eyeliner is also a very important point. When a woman gets older, her eyelids will droop slightly, and someone will turn the tail of her eyes upwards to play a lifting effect. In fact, overly upturned eyeliner is easy to make people look shrewd, and if the eyeliner is too thick, the whole person is very cut. The eyeliner focuses on adding depth, don't draw too thick and unnatural.
For example, the sweet-looking Tan Songyun, the contrast between the deep and upturned eyeliner and the light and natural eyeliner:
Minefield three: The eyebrows are thick and thick
For middle-aged women, the focus is no longer on eyeshadow eyeliner, but on eyebrows and lipstick. That eyebrow also avoids this kind of rough and thick shape, which looks very rustic, and this "sense of technology" heavy eyebrow tattoo method, abrupt and weird.
>> pay attention to "shallow brows, deep eyebrows"
For eyebrows, the focus is on "light eyebrows and deep eyebrows", so that the eyebrows drawn are natural. If you are just starting to draw eyebrows, you must pay attention to the fact that it is rather light than deep, as long as you roughly draw a sense of outline.
If you want to make a thick eyebrow a little more classic, then be sure to be thin and not thick, so as not to look weird because it is too thick.
>> with a little eyebrow summit is better
In addition, if your facial skin is more pronounced sagging, you can neutralize it with a more obvious upper eyebrow peak, that is, there is a clear eyebrow peak at the end of the corresponding eye:
Minefield Four: A mouthful of big red lips/Barbie powder
The minefield of lipstick is in the color, don't choose big red because you want to improve the color or choose Barbie pink if you want to look young, these two colors have a very high ability to control, if not a particularly formal occasion, it is difficult to control.
Especially for women with convex mouths, choosing big red lips amplifies our disadvantages and looks more earthy. Like Huang Qishan, she herself is a little bucktooth convex, previously chose big red lips to look very earthy, now choose a light color, reduce the presence of the mouth, but appear more delicate:
>> choose a light bean paste color
In daily life, it is still recommended to choose bean paste color, which is easier to control and show more natural than daily life. If it is a red lipstick, it is enough to apply a light layer.
>> slightly blurs the lip line
In addition, pay attention to the application method of lipstick, if the line is too solid, it is easy to give people a sense of aggression and easy to appear deliberate. Slightly blurring the edges will be more relatable and natural.
