A passion and flair for makeup doesn't have to dwindle as you age. In fact, the process of getting older offers a perfect opportunity to explore new ways to enhance your features and try out new methods to complement your complexion.
Annamaria Kalebic, a 53-year-old beauty influencer, has shared how to create a bold makeup look while subtly enhancing her visage.
She revealed that over the years, she has made tweaks to her makeup routine to accommodate her ever-evolving looks and personal preferences.
Taking to TikTok, Annamaria (@annamariakalebic on the sharing platform) posted a series of tips and tricks she uses to feel more attractive in her 50s than she did during her 40s.

Her helpful hacks have garnered lots of attention from fellow makeup enthusiasts, with some describing her look as "fabulous" and "amazing".
The "self-confessed makeup junkie" said that she "will always enjoy trying out new makeup looks", adding that she's "had to make a few tweaks in recent years".
She revealed that, for a "bold" look, she highlights one key feature, opting for a statement lip rather than dramatic eye makeup.
The beauty enthusiast acknowledged that others may prefer an intense eye makeup look, though, stating: "If you're over 50 and still love rocking black eyeliner - then go for it!"
Over 50s makeup routine
First, the makeup fan uses a light-reflecting base to help her skin look hydrated, and further enhances this with tinted moisturiser for more coverage while still getting a "natural glow".
Next, she said that she uses contour as a bronzer "to give a little bit of definition".
When it comes to eye makeup, Annamaria sticks to mid-tones or lighter. She added that, in her opinion, dark eyeliners can be "too heavy for the area".
She advised her followers: "Instead, add a bit of interest with a bit of glitter. Go with a nearly black mascara for a softer look."
Adding another light layer, she said that she gives her complexion a "dewy flush" with a liquid blush.
She explained that before applying it to her face, she puts the product on the back of her hand and primes her brush with a light covering, before tapping away on the apples of her cheeks.
