here are the “worst” lipstick colors to wear this winter (the ones that age)

In winter, lipstick can be a great way to enhance your makeup and give yourself a healthy glow. After 50, certain shades also give more volume to the lips and boost the radiance of the complexion. Conversely, other lipstick colors accentuate wrinkles around the mouthgive the illusion of a finer mouth, or provide a “memorizing” effect to the look.

According to the media Shefinds, 3 lipstick colors are particularly unflattering after 50. Quite trendy colors this winter, but it is better to avoid wearing if you want to rejuvenate your face.

Lip makeup after 50: 3 “memerizing” lipstick colors to avoid wearing this winter

• Matte dark brown : Even though brown lips from the 90s are very trendy at the moment, choosing this shade is not the most flattering after 50. “A dark brown on mature lips can make your skin look paler and diminish the appearance of fullness in your lips.”. A choice of matte texture will also tend to accentuate this aspect and mark fine lines and dryness. Instead, opt for softer shades, like rosewood, and creamier, hydrating textures.

• They are matte nude : “A very beige matte nude lipstick can make your complexion look sickly, unless your skin is warm enough to make it stand out. And even if that’s the case, choosing glossier, shinier formulas can help enhance your pout better than a matte formula.” To add more contrast and volume to your lips, opt for a pink, peach or coral shade which will give a healthy glow and enhance your complexion.
• The fuchsia : Very bright and very flashy shades like fuchsia can give a “memory” aspect to the look: “They can draw attention to the lines and texture around your lips and put all the attention on your lipstick, not your lips and other facial features.”. If you like fairly intense lipstick colors, opt for more chic shades like orange red, cherry red or burgundy.

Makeup after 50: these “memorizing” mistakes not to make when applying makeup to your lips

After 50, lip makeup can be a valuable ally to enhance features and give radiance to the face. However, some mistakes can weigh down the look or give an aged impression. The first common mistake is to opt for an unsuitable texture. Matte lipsticks, while trendy, can accentuate fine lines around the mouth and dry out lips, making them less plump. Choose creamy or satin formulas which provide both comfort and a luminous touch, while hydrating the lips.

Another error is to neglecting lip preparation. With age, lips can become thinner and marked by fine lines. Before applying makeup, it’s essential to lightly exfoliate to remove dead skin and apply a moisturizing balm for a smooth base. A lip contour pencil is also essential to prevent the red from running into the creases. However, make sure that the pencil is discreet and perfectly blended for a natural result, without artificial effect.
