MM techniques for mature skin?

Hey everyone!

My aunt asked me to make her over tomorrow with minerals . I'm excited and want to make sure she looks amazing. Any tips or things I should be sure to do/not to do?

She has a deep brown skin tone with some dark areas. She's around 74 years old but looks about in her 60s (to me at least).

What kinds of colors do you suggest for eyeshadow too?

Thanks a ton!

For the eyes I would use two looks, one of neutrals and second purples. These always look nice with dark skintones. For the lip/blush I would keep it with natural tones.

You might want to try a damp application method, especially if she does have some fine lines or wrinkles. I'm in my 50s and I like to either use a damp application or use a primer that smooths the fine lines. If she needs a moisturizer applied, let it soak in at least 15 minutes before you apply the minerals. Have fun!

I wait to make sure my moisturizer has soaked in but then I'll take a tissue and blot before starting application. I'm sure your aunt will be thrilled with the results!
