Victoria Beckham, 51, looks like she just got back from vacation using her namesake brand’s Color Wash Blush, a dewy blush.

Today, the best blushes for mature skin have expanded from powders to include a variety of hydrating, elasticity-restoring formulas that suit face shapes of all ages—and not just that. famous Of course, benefit from the wide range of options available. “Blush options for mature skin are much better now than they have been in years past,” says professional makeup artist Catrina Breitweiser. “Brands will ultimately prioritize skin-like finishes, flexible pigments and complexion-enhancing formulas, rather than settling on top or emphasizing texture.”

With the rise of skin-care blush options such as serums, creams or balms, Breitweiser is seeing powder blushes getting an upgrade, making them more suitable for older women. “Modern blush powders are lighter, finer-milled, and easier to blend than older formulas,” she points out. “They blend into the skin, wear longer, are less patchy, and provide a soft-focus effect rather than a heavy or powdery finish.”

To get the most out of any blush formula, skin preparation is important. “If the skin isn’t taken care of, makeup won’t adhere to the skin well, and we’ll start to see makeup sit on the skin instead of blending into it,” says professional makeup artist and esthetician Amanda Gabbard. Application is also important to achieve a complexion-lifting effect that blends into your second skin. “Dab the pigment into the skin to create a rosy look, rather than the sharp color you get with a brush,” says professional makeup artist Pilar DeMann.
