Pixiwoo Makeup Tutorial: How to create an easy dewy base for mature skin

From radiant primer to light, dewy foundation, Pixiwoo share their top products and techniques for a pro-age glow

As we get older, our skin's needs change and the makeup we've always loved isn't necessarily the best fit any more. That's never more so than when it comes to choosing and applying the right base. We asked Pixiwoo's Sam and Nic Chapman what they recommend, from foundation to primer, bronzer, blush and highlighter, to add radiance, minimise lines and cover over dark circles and pigmentation to create a dewy, glowing foundation finish.
As they show GTG's Editorial Director Victoria Woodhall, makeup for older women is all about light layers and using targeted products only where you need them.
