Summer weddings bring a mix of excitement and nostalgia, especially for mature women who want to look their best while enjoying the celebration. Achieving a beautiful, natural makeup look is easy with the right preparation and products. Here’s a guide to help you shine with elegance and confidence at your next summer wedding.
Prep Your Mature Skin for Makeup
Start with a Solid Skincare Routine
Your makeup's foundation lies in your skincare. Healthy, hydrated skin provides a smooth canvas, ensuring that your makeup looks flawless and lasts longer.
-
Gentle Cleansing: Begin by washing your face with a mild cleanser like The Deep Clean. This product effectively removes impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Its creamy formula doubles as a makeup remover, making it a perfect first step in your skincare routine. It nourishes sensitive skin with essential vitamins and minerals, leaving it smoother and brighter.
-
-
Hydration and Eye Care: After cleansing, apply a hydrating moisturiser such as The Multitasker to lock in moisture. For your eye area, use Pro Age Eye Cream, which targets puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines. This vitamin-rich cream, infused with hyaluronic acid and green tea extract, helps the delicate skin around your eyes stay firm and youthful. Massage it gently around the eyes for best results, both morning and night.
-
Night Time Renewal: Incorporate Overnight Recovery Facial Oil into your night time routine. This oil works while you sleep, aiding in skin repair and rejuvenation. Formulated with natural retinol from rosehip and antioxidants from avocado oil, it revitalises dry skin. Additional ingredients like evening primrose oil and jojoba oil enhance your skin's restorative properties, while lavender, rosemary, and chamomile oils provide a calming effect.
-
Boost with Serum: Enhance your skin’s radiance with the Radiance Boosting Serum. This serum combines vitamins A, C, and E to boost and tone your skin. Vitamin A promotes collagen production, vitamin C shields your skin from free radicals, and vitamin E heals and hydrates, making your skin resilient and glowing.
Keep the Makeup Light and Natural

Step 1: Dew Stick - Hydrate and Illuminate: Start with the Glow & Go Dew stick. This moisturising stick adds a subtle illumination to your face, eyes, lips, and any dry patches. It’s perfect for creating a dewy base that highlights your natural beauty.
-
Step 2: Pearl Stick - Highlight and Shine: Next, use the Pearl stick to add a delicate glow. Apply it to your cheekbones, brow bones, cupid’s bow, and the inner corners of your eyes. This gives your skin a soft, natural radiance without looking overly glittery.
-
Step 3: Berry Stick - Add a Natural Flush: For a touch of color, apply the Berry stick to your lips, cheeks, and forehead. This creamy red shade is versatile and complements all skin tones, giving you a healthy, natural blush. It also works as a lipstick, allowing you to achieve a cohesive look with minimal effort.
-
Step 4: Volumizer Mascara - Lengthen and Define: Finish your makeup with the Volumizer Mascara. Specially designed for mature lashes, this plant-based mascara lengthens, separates, and hydrates. Infused with coconut oil, aloe vera, and vitamin E, it keeps your lashes nourished and clump-free. The dual-structure silicone wand ensures smooth application, even on the shortest lashes.
Quick Tips for Summer Wedding Makeup:
- Less is More: Opt for lightweight products that let your skin breathe. Heavy foundations can look cakey and emphasise fine lines.
- Hydration is Key: Keep your skin hydrated to maintain a youthful glow. Drink plenty of water and use moisturising products.
- Long-Lasting Formulas: Choose makeup that withstands heat and humidity to stay fresh all day.
- Strategic Highlighting: Highlight areas that naturally catch light to enhance your features subtly.
- Blend Well: Use your fingertips to blend products seamlessly into your skin for a natural finish.
