If age is taking a toll on your appearance, these makeup tricks can help you look years younger.
Apply concealer lightly with a concealer brush. Using your fingertips can transfer oil to your skin, which will prevent you from creating a smooth application. Apply the concealer with curved, U-shaped strokes. Blend to right above your cheekbones. Spread the concealer out a little beyond any dark spots.
Reshape your eyebrows. The right shape can make you look less tired. You should avoid a shade that is too dark in order to give your eyes a fresh look.
Create a contoured chin line by applying a subtle bronzer that is two shades darker than your foundation or your natural skin tone using a contouring face brush. Applying the bronzer along your jaw line and under your chin will make your face appear slimmer. It will also make the area under your chin appear tighter and firmer. You should also apply bronzer on your forehead and cheekbones. Lightly blend the bronzer all over your face to keep the appearance smooth and even.
Next, apply highlighter to your cheekbones using light strokes. Then apply some to the corners of your forehead above the corners of your eyebrows. Apply a thin and light layer of highlighter to your nose, beginning between your eyebrows and continuing down to the top of your nose.
Use neutral colors for eye makeup, such as beige, brown, or black, to highlight certain areas. Highlight right below your eyebrows and the corners of your eyes to minimize the appearance of dark circles. Keep the makeup between the crease of your eyelid and the highlighted area beneath the brow bone. Next, shade the crease line with a darker color and blend a little above and below the crease line to give your eyes more dimension. Finally, apply eye liner and mascara to the top of your lid and your top lashes, and define the corners of your eyes with black eye shadow.
