10 Makeup Tips To Make You Look Younger
6. Thin your eyebrows
Good eyebrows go a long way in giving you a vibrant look. Thin and well managed brows give you a ‘bright-eyed’ look. To me, keeping the brows nicely done is like having a face lift without any surgery. This tip is a no-brainer! Do you complain about all the hurt from plucking? I suggest shaping your brows after a bath or a shower. It does the job for me with far less pain.
7. Watch out for hair above the lips
The smallest of hair above the lips will instantly add a few years to your age. And I mean instantly! Believe me – they will give you the typical granny look. When I see a woman with hair above her lips, I sense that she has given up on beauty. I reckon that you don’t give up – wax them yourself or rush to the salon. Your smile deserves the best!
8. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize
Many signs of aging are because of the skin drying out. I suggest that you invest in a good moisturizer and not let your skin go dry. I usually go one step further and look for moisturizers in all the cosmetic products that I use. Many of my creams and powders have moisturizing elements. Are you a skeptic? Well I’d suggest that you try it. It’ll add volume to your facial features.
9. Go light with your powder
Whatever your skin tone – do not use powders that are heavy and dark. Are you afraid of using a brightly colored brush? Don’t be. Whatever you do, do not go below the tone of the skin that you are applying the powder to. Darker colors are always more aging. Lighter colors seem to take away a few years. Let me warn you – do not go overboard with this one! If you go too light, the powder will look out of place.
10. Cleanse your skin
Have you ever thought where all the makeup that we use during the day goes? You wash it off, don’t you? But let me tell you, a lot of it is left within the skin pores. I suggest that you use a gentle cleanser at night before you sleep to remove all the dirt and residue. If ever there was a time to do it – it is now. Clean and fresh skin will definitely make you look more younger. All my vitamin E and C products lie near my bedroom mirror. I use them immediately after my daily cleansing session. Your skin goes into repair mode at night and I believe the influx of the vitamins and minerals will help the cause.
I think the key to look younger is to identify the problem areas and then finding the most appropriate solution. My top 10 makeup tips should do the trick to make you look younger. But let me warn you – looking younger with makeup is a thorough process. Be serious about it!
