The Ab Fab star’s MUA reveals the secret to make-up for mature skin. Dame Joanna Lumley, a bold lip and a dark eyeliner pretty much go hand in hand, paired with a signature Patsy Stone cigarette, of course. Then again, its been more than 20 years since the final episode of Absolutely Fabulous aired on our TVs and, nowadays we’re more likely to catch the 78-year-old actress in Netflix’s Fool Me Once or her Radio 4 sitcom, Conversations From A Long Marriage.

Speaking to The Independent, Parmar shared everything from her favourite kohl pencils to the newly launched concealer she loves using on mature skin. Scroll on for all her tips and tricks. “The key to applying make-up for mature skin is less is more,” Parmar states. This is an attitude shared by renowned make-up artist Lisa Eldridge and, as such, it comes as no surprise that Parmar opts for Eldridge’s eponymous brand when approaching fine lines.

When it comes to what to avoid, Parmar recommends that those with mature skin “steer away from heavy skin products and powders, as they tend to sit in fine lines.” Likewise, she adds that products with shimmer and sparkle can also draw focus to these creases in the skin.

“Both Celia and Joanna love a red lip, so when I work with a red lip I try to keep skin and eyes paired back so it looks more natural.”. Intrigued by the prominence of cream formulas in her aforementioned trio of products, Parmar explains: “I love layering cream products because they leave the skin looking plump, hydrated and fresh. They leave the skin glowing through without looking cakey.”.
