How to look younger: Makeup expert reveals best anti ageing method to applying foundation

Kalondia Casey is a certified makeup expert who uses her skills to help women “feel beautiful each and every day”.

In an exclusive interview with the Express, Kalondia recommended the best foundation for mature women, as well as revealing her expert application techniques.

Her first recommendation is that mature women should use the Lady Gaga Haus Labs foundation, which Kalondia said was the best coverage for both older and dry skin.

Kalondia said: “It’s such a good makeup for mature and dry skin, and I just love it.

“I love the coverage that it gives, it’s a clean beauty product, and I appreciate that tremendously. I’m such a big fan of Haus Labs, as I think it gives women such pretty coverage.”

For a new look, Kalondia said that more older women should not be hesitant to try a powdered foundation as well.

She said: “Something new that has come to me, and that I swore I would never wear, is powdered foundation, and now I absolutely love powder foundation.”

Kalondia said she recommended the Make-up Forever HD Skin Matte Velvet foundation, which is perfect for mature skin, as well as people with sensitive and acne-prone skin.

She said: “This is brand new to the market, and it’s fabulous. Believe it or not, there are women my age category that are only and they really struggle because not only do they have oily skin, but they are also dealing with texture, fine lines, and wrinkles, and cannot wear a usual foundation.”

“However, they can wear [Make-up forever] and they can wear it beautifully. It is a really nice option for anyone who does not know what to buy.”

Kalondia has also explained her step-by-step method on how to apply foundation, which will help give women a natural yet age-defying look.

She said it was important to know how to use a make-up brush.

Kalondia said: “Tap your foundation! Instead of rubbing with a brush, use your brush and gently tap on your foundation.”

She added: “Start with your cheeks and move outwards. Then, with what’s left on your brush, come in on the areas where we have texture, which is around our mouths, the nasolabial folds.”

Kalondia also advised people should never miss out on putting foundation on their ear lobes, and explained why this was an important step.

She said: “Your ear lobes stuck out like two light bulbs. Make sure you’re putting your foundation down onto your neck and on your ear lobes so that you have an even surface.”

For her final bit of advice, Kalondia showed her foundation tools and said the best way to apply foundation was with both a brush and a sponge.

She said: “I use a brush and a sponge. I always take my sponge after I have put everything on, and I just dab my face. That way I can make sure everything is smoothed out, and trust me it will look great.”
