10 Top Makeup Tips To Look Younger
6. Thin your brows
Good brows 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 facelift 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 is less painful- it does the job for me.
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? Yeah you are right. 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 youthful. My tip – All my vitamin E and C product 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 mineral 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 10 top makeup tips should do the trick to take a few years off your age.
