Land catwalks of AI 2022/23 and those of PE 2023 are linked by a common thread: brushstrokes of blush with an anti-aging effect. Not a simple make-up detail but almost a turning point because, if chosen in pink or peach tones, the blush gives an unexpected lifting result.
Anti-aging blush, the touch of color with a lifting effect
From social networks to the backstage of the catwalks. For a “sculpted cheekbone” with a lifting effect, ideal when the skin is no longer fresh, it is essential to find the right point of the face on which to blend the blush.

Highly pigmented, the anti-aging blushes can be applied with a duo fiber brush. This is perfect for all types of textures because the different lengths of the fibers allow a modular drafting thus having greater control over the result.
Alternatively you can use your fingers, applying a little color at a time before blending it well. A secret of make-up artists: you can mix cream and powder blushes with each other, always applying first the liquid consistency and only at the end by adding a small amount of powder.
Not just blush: the other anti-aging secrets of make-up
Another secret for anti-aging make-up are highlighters. In stick, gloss or powder, these meet all needs and choosing the right consistency is all a matter of skin: those liquid and creamy are ideal for particularly dry skin, while powdered ones are better for normal or oily ones.
To be spread always on the zygomatic bone because it is here that natural light illuminates. Never below but not above, otherwise the crow’s feet in the outer corner of the eye are emphasized. Which shades to use in these cases? The pink ones that give new light.
