A before and after make-up for an older face, no tricks, filters or photoshop.



Susan is a great model and always up for anything I suggest. Today I wanted to show how a simple natural style make-up can really make a difference. It not only brightens your face, but lifts your mood and inturn, your confidence, what ever your age. This is probably a little heavier make-up than I have applied to Susan in the past, but still gives a natural feel. Susan did kindly go on to sit for some images I wanted to capture for an up and coming exhibition – more on this to come. Exciting!

Make-up used
I firstly moisturised Susans skin with No7 Lift and Luminate day cream which has a rich texture and gives the skin a youth glow.
Then I primed her skin with Look Fab Forever Smooth Like silk primer, which is perfect for older skin as it blurs the lines and great under make up. Smooth Like Silk Face Prime – Face Primer for Older Skin

Eye Shadow: Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-eyes – Bigger Brighter Eyes – Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette | Charlotte Tilbury The rose gold gives a soft natural appearance and really makes Sue’s blue eyes pop.
Eye liner: I used the darker powder of the above C.Tilbury eye palate to create soft lines
Mascara: Benefit BadGal Black This has a good track record for staying on your lashes not on your cheek.
Contour and Highlight: Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow – Light To Medium – Contour Palette | Charlotte Tilbury
Blush: Charlotte Tilbury Fair-medium: Hollywood Blush & Glow Glide Palette | Charlotte Tilbury The pink blush looks quite rosey, but it gives a beautiful touch of flush to the skin if softly applied.
Lipliner: Look Fab Forever: Defining Lip Liner | Look Fabulous Forever Makeup For Mature Skin in Roseberry
Lipstick: Insanely Saturated Lip Colour | Sunday Matinee | Lisa Eldridge I love these lipsticks and the Sunday matinee is a flattering pink. A natural shade I often use this colour on brides
