Mature Makeup Videos
Tips and tricks for mature skin
In this Pod, we have decided to concentrate on makeup for the more mature skin. The internet is bombarded with wrinkle free teenagers advocating the use of various products, so we are showcasing videos that celebrate experience over youth!
As long as there have been people, there has been makeup. The Ancient Egyptians would decorate their eyes with dark green, black or blue kohl circles that were supposed to ward off the evil eye and Alexander the Great apparently wore eye makeup for aesthetic and health reasons, as it ‘protected the delicate skin around the eyes and kept off flies’.
During a global crisis, it might feel a bit trivial to pull out your makeup bag and go to town on bronzer. But experts say it can actually make a huge difference in navigating these unpredictable times. It can help separate home and work life, your weekend self from your work self and some studies have shown that, for some, wearing make up can even boost productivity.
SHOP To support this video collection, we have handpicked a great selection of makeup, brush sets, storage solutions and other accessories. View our Mature Makeup Shop page.
