Skin changes over time, and your makeup routine must change with it. You may find that your foundation settles into fine lines around your eyes or on your forehead, or that eyeshadow settles into the lines on your eyelids, making them more prominent. The right products and application techniques can help you look rested, refreshed and even younger than your years.

Rosacea can leave your skin red and irritated. In mild cases, you may simply look pink-cheeked or flushed, but more severe rosacea may cause acne like bumps, flaking and visible blood vessels. Makeup, properly chosen and applied, can help you to hide the symptoms of rosacea and may improve your self-confidence.

Mineral makeup offers a natural alternative to products available in drug and department stores, and they may be well-tolerated if you have sensitive skin. While purchasing specialty mineral makeup can be costly, you can make your own mineral foundations, eye shadows and blush at home with the right ingredients and supplies. A few mineral makeup recipes will allow you to begin experimenting with makeup manufacture in your own kitchen.
