Getting older is a part of life, but it’s definitely a process that not everyone appreciates.

One of the things that can change the most is actually the skin, as you’ll start noticing more wrinkles as you grow older. For people who like to apply makeup, that can become quite annoying and challenging, as applying makeup can get harder and doesn’t always yield the expected results.

Patti Cox Bailey, a 77-year-old woman, loves to stay healthy and is still as passionate about makeup as ever.

Age is just a number, after all!

Who said that you couldn’t take your time applying some gorgeous makeup when you’re older?

When you first see Patti, you can definitely tell that she’s been taking care of her skin, but the real transformation starts when she puts on her makeup. Every year, it has gotten more challenging – there are a lot of uneven places in the skin, darker circles, and lines pretty much everywhere – but Patti has got it all figured out.

With her years of experience, she now wants to share her gorgeous makeup tips, specifically for aging people.

She posted a video on YouTube sharing all kinds of makeup tips for older skin, and it has absolutely gone viral with millions of views. Thanks to Patti’s advice, makeup at an older age definitely doesn’t have to be difficult.

One of the most important things is to use a natural oil as the basis, to keep your skin hydrated.

After applying the natural oil, Patti then adds just a little bit of some moisturizer with sunscreen and some powder foundation. Before she gets started with the makeup itself, she makes sure to set her hair in a couple of rollers so that it doesn’t get in the way.

Next up is the powder foundation.

The brush is critical for this step, as it really makes sure that the makeup manages to find its ways everywhere, such as uneven spots and wrinkles. The result is an absolutely glowing face.

The eyes are very important as well, and Patti uses a bit of color and adds makeup cautiously. Eyeliner to the upper and lower lips are next, and she also mentions that she doesn’t like to use thicker or heavier eyeliner, as it doesn’t match well with the general features of aging skin. The finishing touch is soft-colored eye-shadow and some darker-colored ones in the center with the most creases. Of course, mascara is needed too.

She also gives tips for the most natural-looking cheeks.

Of course, it’s important that you choose a blush color that really complements your skin tone, and then you use a rather large brush. Patti prefers to pat it onto her cheeks instead of brushing it, which definitely helps with the more natural look.

Now that hair can finally go loose again!

All of the rollers are removed, and we can see her beautiful locks of hair again. She really shines!

Throughout the entire video, Patti will give her viewers dozens of tips and recommendations for products to use. She definitely knows her way around makeup and is more than happy to share whatever tips and tricks she knows. The before and after is absolutely stunning – some people would even think that this was the result of a facelift instead of makeup.
