Skin can become drier as people get older, so moisturiser is an important first step.

It is helpful to wait about five minutes after moisturising.

A light, hydrating foundation can look better than a thick layer.

Too much powder may make makeup look cakey.

Cream or liquid blush can give the face a soft, fresh glow.

Blush should be blended upward toward the temples.

Heavy shimmer may draw attention to fine lines, so it should be used carefully.

Makeup should always be removed, and brushes and other tools should be cleaned.
