Use a lightweight moisturizer to create a smooth base for your makeup
You want a smooth base to put your makeup on top of. Using a lightweight moisturizer helps you create a smooth base for your makeup by hydrating your skin without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. This can help your makeup go on more evenly and stay in place throughout the day.

Choose a sheer foundation that won't settle into fine lines and wrinkles.
Try a lightweight foundation with sheer coverage to help create a more youthful and natural-looking complexion like the Inner Light™ Mineral Tinted Moisture from Aveda. When you're here at the salon next, ask about what your perfect colour is and take it home!
Sheer formulas tend to be lighter in texture and blend seamlessly into the skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, they can provide a more breathable feel and allow your skin to look like skin.

Avoid using heavy powders that can make skin look dry and emphasize lines.
Heavy powders settle into fine lines and wrinkles, making them more noticeable and giving the appearance of dryness. It's best to use lightweight powders or other makeup products to avoid emphasizing these areas. You're looking for smooth, moisturized skin, so stay away from anything that will make your skin more dry (especially in the dry Canadian winters).
Use a tri-colour blush for a more natural, youthful glow
A tri-colour blush like Aveda's Face Accents™ helps create a more natural, youthful glow to your skin and mimic the natural flush of your cheeks.
By using a combination of lighter and darker shades, you can create depth and dimension that looks more natural than a single, flat shade. The blend of shades can help to brighten and warm up your complexion for a more youthful appearance.

Use a light-reflecting highlighter on your cheekbones and down the bridge of your nose to add radiance to your skin
Light reflecting highlighters are used on the face to create a luminous, glowing effect. They help to brighten dull skin and enhance the natural contours of the face. By reflecting light, they can also minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, highlighters can be used to draw attention to specific features, such as the cheekbones or brow bone, for a more defined look.
Finish with a hydrating setting spray to keep your makeup looking fresh and dewy all day.
Hydrating setting spray can help to keep your makeup in place for longer periods of time while also providing hydration to the skin. This type of spray can also give your skin a dewy, glowing finish and help to prevent your makeup from looking cakey or dry.
