Good make-up habits for mature skin
Prepare skin and follow a targeted skincare routine
The skin’s needs change with age. To reduce wrinkles, fine lines and dark spots and overcome a lack of radiance, we recommend adapting your skincare ritual by choosing a routine for mature skin that will target all the signs of skin ageing.
Every morning, after cleansing your skin, apply a serum concentrated in anti-ageing active ingredients and an eye and lip contour cream – a must-have for treating these areas of particularly thin skin. Add an anti-ageing moisturiser for nutrition and radiance, then complete your routine by applying protective skincare to shield skin from external aggressors.
Apply a primer
Using a primer after your day cream and before make-up is essential for smoothing skin, blurring wrinkles and fine lines, and bringing radiance to the dark areas of the face. It can also be applied at any time of day as a touch-up over make-up to fill fine lines.
Enhance the eye and lip contours
To boost the radiance of the eye area, before applying your foundation, first moisturise the eye contour area using a tube with a metal tip, then apply your under-eye concealer to correct the signs of fatigue and hide under-eye wrinkles.
Create an anti-ageing routine for the lip contour by choosing a suitable skincare product and use a smoothing powder to blur fine lines before applying your lip pencil and lipstick.
Use an anti-ageing foundation
To complete your anti-ageing beauty routine, opt for a smoothing liquid foundation with a silky radiant finish to give your make-up a rejuvenating effect.
Next, create the impression of perfect skin by applying a finishing powder, which will brighten, smooth and enhance skin in a brushstroke.

The lip contour routine
How to disguise wrinkles around the mouth?
With age, the lips grow thinner and fine lines tend to appear around them. To smooth this fragile and sensitive area, first apply a perfecting powder to visually smooth the folds of the skin. Next, draw along the lip line with a lip pencil, making sure to tilt the pencil tip outwards to slightly enlarge the shape of your mouth. Lastly, apply a lipstick in the same shade as the pencil, preferably in a glossy finish to make your lips appear fuller.
Here are the key ingredients selected by Sisley for anti-ageing lip make-up :
• HYDRO BOOSTER COMPLEX (Hyaluronic Acid and Konjac Glucomannan microspheres): immediately saturates skin with moisture and lastingly maintains -hydration, an immediate plumping and smoothing effect
• PADINA PAVONICA EXTRACT : hydrates, plumps
• MORINGA OIL : nourishes, provides softness and suppleness

Looking for expert beauty advice?
How do I smooth fine lines before applying my make-up?
To smooth and blur your skin texture, apply a blurring primer locally to wrinkles and fine lines (including crow’s feet) just after your day cream and before make-up.
You can also apply it throughout the day to touch up your complexion.
How do I make up my eyes if I have wrinkles and fine lines?
Use a liquid eyeshadow that will give a radiant result without settling into wrinkles and fine lines, then widen your eyes with a long-lasting lash-lengthening mascara.
Does foundation accentuate wrinkles?
Mature skin can also wear foundation provided you use a liquid one with light to medium coverage, a skin-enhancing luminous finish and an anti-ageing skincare action.
How do I stop my foundation from settling into fine lines and wrinkles?
Anti-ageing skincare helps to optimally prepare the skin for make-up. Apply a smoothing primer before your foundation to even out and refine your skin texture and stop your foundation from settling into any wrinkles or fine lines.
How can I boost the radiance of mature skin?
Lack of radiance and dull skin are two of the visible signs of ageing. Make your make-up ultra-radiant by applying blush to your cheekbones, a lipstick in a bright colour to revitalise your complexion, and a highlighter to add light to the dark areas of the face.
