for mature skin
WEDDING MAKEUP
Whether you’re the mother of the bride, the groom’s mum or another special guest, feeling confident and comfortable in your makeup on the big day is just as important as it is for the bride. Mature skin deserves a thoughtful, tailored approach – and a little expert care can go a long way in helping you look and feel your best.
It Starts With Skin
Mature skin often benefits from extra hydration and a soft glow, rather than full coverage or matte finishes. I focus on prepping the skin gently – think nourishing skincare, light-reflective primers and radiant but not shiny bases. It’s all about creating a smooth, hydrated canvas that feels weightless and fresh.
Less is More – But Thoughtful
Makeup for mature skin shouldn’t be heavy or mask-like. It’s not about hiding anything, it’s about enhancing your features in a flattering, natural way. I use lightweight foundations with a soft-focus finish, creamy blushes for a healthy flush and powders only where needed – no cakiness here.
Eyes That Lift and Brighten
For mature eyes, I avoid anything too shimmery or harsh. Soft mattes, gentle definition along the lash line, and careful blending help create a lifted, brightened effect. I steer clear of heavy liner and instead use subtle tones to shape the eyes and make them feel open and fresh.
Lashes – If You Want Them
Some mums love lashes, others aren’t sure. For mature eyes, I avoid heavy strip lashes and instead use individuals or clusters to give a gentle, fluttery lift, without feeling like too much. They make a subtle difference in photos, but still feel light and comfortable all day.
Brows and Lips – Soft and Defined
As we age, brows can thin and lips can lose a bit of shape. I gently define brows using soft, feathered strokes to frame the face, without anything looking drawn on. Lips are kept hydrated and lightly lined, with flattering tones that complement your skin and outfit – nothing drying or overly bold, unless that’s your personal style.
It’s Your Moment, Too
Your makeup should feel like you – just polished, calm and ready for the special day. Whether you normally wear a full face or barely anything at all, my approach is always collaborative and relaxed. If you're feeling unsure or a little nervous (especially if it’s been a while since you’ve had your makeup done), that’s totally normal – we’ll talk it through and make sure you feel completely at ease.
In Summary
Makeup for mature skin doesn’t mean compromise – it just means a softer, more thoughtful approach. With the right prep, gentle definition and breathable products, your makeup will look beautiful in person and in photos, without ever feeling heavy or unfamiliar.
If you’re a mum, nan or just someone who wants to feel lovely without the fuss, I’d love to look after you. You’re such a special part of the day – and I’m here to make sure you feel it.
