- Luminosity flatters mature skin beautifully.
- Soft, fresh color keeps the trend wearable.
- A glowing base is the foundation of the whole look.
What is the #1 spring makeup trend?
Fresh, glowing, dewy skin. The standout spring trend is luminous, lit-from-within skin paired with soft, fresh color — a lighter, dewier approach after heavier winter makeup. For mature women it's especially flattering, because glow counters the dullness and flatness that come with age.
How do you wear the trend over 50?
Glowing base, soft color. Prep skin well and buff on a luminous BB Crème for a dewy base, add a Cream Blush for a fresh flush, and keep eyes soft with a coat of VOLUME UP Mascara. Set only where you get shiny so the glow stays.
Why does dewy skin flatter mature skin?
Because luminosity reads as youth and health. A dewy, glowing base makes mature skin look fresh and alive, where heavy matte can look flat and emphasize texture. Keeping color soft and skin luminous is the enhance-and-glow approach in Nikol's mature-skin makeup guide.
