As we move through different stages of life, our skin changes too. For those navigating perimenopause, fluctuating hormones can lead to increased dryness, sensitivity, and changes in skin texture. But these changes don't mean giving up on makeup. In fact, using the right products can enhance your natural glow, boost your confidence, and nourish your skin at the same time.
At Cheekbone Beauty, our mission is to create high-performance, sustainable cosmetics that work for everyone—including those going through perimenopause. Here are some makeup tips and product recommendations to help you feel your best.
1. Start With Skin Prep Perimenopausal skin tends to be drier, so hydration is key. Start with a rich moisturizer and hydrating primer like the Illuminating from Cheekbone. This helps your makeup go on smoothly and prevents it from settling into fine lines.
2. Choose a Multi-Tasking Base Our Unify Multi Pencil is perfect for this stage of life. This creamy, hydrating formula works as a concealer, foundation, contour, and highlighter. Infused with natural ingredients like Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, which slows water loss from the skin by forming a barrier on the skin’s surface. This formula provides buildable coverage while nourishing the skin. It won’t cling to dry patches or emphasize texture, making it ideal for more mature skin.
3. Add Colour With Creamy Textures Powder blushes and bronzers can sometimes sit on top of dry skin. Our Talc-Free Balance Blush/Bronzer Duo offers a soft, natural glow with skin-friendly ingredients. Apply to the apples of your cheeks and blend upward to lift the face.
4. Define the Eyes Gently Eyes can become more sensitive during perimenopause, so it’s important to use gentle, clean products. Our Empower Eyeliner glides on smoothly without tugging, and our Uprise Mascara defines lashes without flaking. Stick to soft, neutral shades like those in our Fearless Eyeshadow Minis for a natural, polished look.
5. Hydrate the Lips Lips can also become drier during this time. Our Harmony Lip Gloss is packed with hydrating ingredients and adds a beautiful wash of colour without stickiness. For even more hydration, layer it over a Sustain Lipstick, loaded with Shea Butter.
6. Set Without Drying Out To finish your look, lightly dust our natural Mattifying Moon Dust Setting Powder over areas prone to shine. It helps keep makeup in place without drying out the skin or emphasizing fine lines.
Final Thoughts Perimenopause is a time of transition, and your makeup routine should evolve with it. With Cheekbone Beauty’s clean, hydrating formulas, you can create a look that feels fresh, radiant, and authentically you. We believe beauty has no age limit, and our products are designed to meet you wherever you are in your journey.
