Every woman wishes for time to stand still, because let’s admit it, no one likes to see wrinkles and lines that remind them that time is flying. With this in mind, we always feel the urge to take care of our beauty in order to look as young as ever!
In addition to a good and efficient skincare routine, your makeup can do wonders. Yes, that routine that takes 10 minutes of our time can turn back the clock and hide everything that reminds us – or others – of our age. Here are a few tricks that actually work.
- Aging makes our face more asymmetrical, so avoid plucking your eyebrows frequently, just clean up the obvious hairs every once in a while.
- Moisturizing your skin can make it look more youthful. Nothing like a dry and dull skin can reveal your age, so adding a moisturizer to your makeup pouch is a must.
- As we age, we tend to have more to conceal. Therefore, we need to replace our ordinary concealer with a highly-efficient one. Also, we should choose a liquid product rather than a wax based one because it doesn’t seep into lines.
- With age, you need to make your skin look warmer and that’s what a yellowish foundation is made for. Yes, that’s one of the most important secrets to a younger-looking skin. And it’s also important to know how to apply the foundation so, wet your sponge and after squeezing out the water, use it to apply the product on your face in dabbing motions. This is your way to get sheer coverage.
- Since heavy powder formulas make you look older, try to use creamy products that provide your skin with moisture and keep it fresh. Speaking of powder, avoid using a tinted one to set your makeup because it will only make your look heavier.
- Curling your eyelashes is essential as they tend to flatten as you age. This will surely make your eyes look brighter, even if you skip mascara.
- About your eye makeup, replace your black eyeliner with a brown one and don’t be afraid to use eyeshadows that are slightly shimmery in order to add radiance to your look.
- For the lips, stick to nudes because as your lips – especially the upper one – get smaller with age, dark and vibrant colors won’t enhance your beauty. Also make sure to avoid creamy formulas.
