Nars Expert Advises Cream and Liquid Blush for Mature Skin
In a recent Vogue piece, Araceli Marcilla, a training expert from Nars, emphasizes that cream, liquid, and moisturizing blushes are ideal for individuals over 50 with mature skin. As collagen and hyaluronic acid diminish, skin tends to become thinner and drier, making fine lines more pronounced. Liquid blushes offer better blending and help prevent the emphasis on texture, unlike powder blushes which can settle into creases. Marcilla advises applying blush in gentle layers, using fingers for blending, and targeting the upper cheekbone for a natural lift. She recommends soft pinks, peaches, and corals for a vibrant glow, noting Nars Orgasm as a classic shade. Other suggested options include Victoria Beckham Color Wash Liquid Blush and Glow On Liquid Blush.
