A Complete Guide to Natural Makeup for Mature Skin

February 10, 2024 by Dr. Taruna Yadav

As you age, your skin starts to feel and look different. This difference in skin can be in the form of wrinkles, fine lines & dullness. They are more drastic in some, while they may be subtle for others. Mature skin loses its elasticity and has an uneven texture accompanied by dryness and sometimes dark spots or hyperpigmentation. Most women feel uncomfortable and underconfident due to these visible signs of ageing. But why should they? Because mature skin looks just as beautiful, and with the ample makeup choices specifically curated for mature skin, looking & feeling great is just an application away!

For mature skin, applying makeup isn’t just about appearing younger. It is more about choosing makeup that enhances your features and won’t weigh too heavily on the skin, making it look cakey. Natural makeup is the perfect option for women with mature skin because it often uses lighter formulations that blend perfectly into the skin, giving off the impression that you’ve barely applied anything. Natural makeup also has plenty of skin benefits; it is enriched with precious botanicals and skin-loving ingredients that do not harm the skin and nourish and replenish your skin’s natural glow.

Here’s a step-by-step natural makeup guide for mature skin that you can follow for a radiant and flawless look.

Step 1: Create The Base

Preparing the base is the first and foremost step of any makeup routine. It’s a simple yet crucial step that will decide how your overall look will turn out. A simple makeup look for older ladies should involve not something heavy as a foundation but a skin tint that gives coverage and has a lightweight and breathable formulation for a natural finish.

Forest Essentials’ Som Rasa Silk Skin Tint is the perfect option for a base for mature skin. Infused with Pure Cow’s Ghee, Fermented Oil Complex, Vitamin C Concentrate, and 20+ natural skincare ingredients, it blurs, plumps, and smoothens the skin tone to create a flawless base. With its Vayasthapana Power Firming Complex, you get an even skin tone and stay protected from harmful environmental aggressors. Including fresh rose extracts provides a soothing and hydrating effect on your skin, leaving it smooth and plump even after you remove it. These tints come in 10 inclusive shades, ensuring everyone can find their perfect match.

Step 2: Conceal & Cover

Some areas of your face may just need some extra love, and that’s okay. It’s important for you to feel your best in any possible way you can. And that sometimes may involve concealing some problem areas like your dark circles or just some dark spots here and there. Forest Essentials’ Som Rasa Velvet Concealer is a creamy concealer that delivers 24 hours of hydration while effortlessly concealing and correcting dark circles, blemishes, and pigmentation, with buildable medium coverage for a flawless finish. Infused with skin-benefiting ingredients such as Bakuchiol, Ceramides, Turmeric, etc., it effectively diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while promoting an even skin tone. These concealers come in 10 shades, so you can find one that perfectly matches your skin tone.

Step 3: Enhance Your Eyes

For a natural look, you need not spend hours defining your eyes to make them pop. Just line your eyes with Forest Essentials’ Gulaab Khaas Kajals. These super-saturated kohl sticks are traditionally prepared with pure Cow’s Ghee and Rose petals to enhance, define, and brighten the eyes naturally. The creamy, non-drying texture glides on effortlessly, while the natural ingredients relieve dryness and eye strain. These kajals come in three shades that can easily be a part of your natural everyday makeup look.

For your brows and lashes, you can opt for Forest Essentials’ Nayantara Clear Lash and Brow Serum, which provides you with fuller lashes and brows in just one swipe. Crafted with natural and plant-based ingredients, this clear gel formula can also be used to prime the lashes before applying mascara for ease of application and removal.

The Kajal and Lash & Brow Serum do not irritate the eyes as they are ophthalmologically tested and are chemical & cruelty-free.

Step 4: Add A Flush of Colour

These cheek tints are made using the ancient practice of Shata Dhauta Ghrita(100 times washed Ghee) for a silken cream-like consistency that lasts all day. Enriched with Fermented Oils and Vitamin E, this intensely pigmented formula ensures ultra-comfortable, long-lasting wear while seamlessly blending to create a naturally flushed look that lasts all day.

Step 5: Lock it With A Tinted Lip Serum

Adding hydration and colour to the lips is the finishing touch to any makeup look. And what if you got the best of both worlds in just one product? The hydration of a lip balm, along with a pop of colour that’s pigmented and long-lasting. We’re talking about Forest Essentials’ Madhu Rasa Tinted Lip Serums. These come in 10 juicy flavours that saturate your lips with natural humectants and a rich serum, leaving behind a hint of buildable, saturated colour and glossy finish.
