How to Apply Makeup to Look Younger

Many women are on a quest to look younger. Makeup can turn back the clock if it is used correctly. When used the wrong way, however, makeup can actually make you look older than you are. Here are some tips on how to apply makeup to make you appear more youthful.

Don’t Wear Too Much Makeup

One of the most common mistakes women make is using too much makeup in an attempt to cover up imperfections. Using too much makeup can actually make you look older. If you have sun spots or dark circles under your eyes, you can use a little bit of concealer on the inner corners of your eyes or on the spots. You don’t need to use concealer everywhere.

It is better to let some of your skin show through than to cover your entire face with makeup. If your skin is well-hydrated, it will look younger uncovered than skin that is covered with makeup.

How to Apply Foundation and Powder

If you have lines on your face, powder can settle into the creases and make your wrinkles look more pronounced, which can age you. It is better to use a tinted moisturizer that contains luminescent particles or a lightweight liquid foundation if you have wrinkles.

Apply the foundation with a damp sponge or a foundation brush. Use the sponge or brush to dot tiny amounts of foundation all over your face. Then set the foundation with powder so it doesn’t smear into the lines. Use a loose, translucent formula and avoid the areas around your eyes.

How to Make Your Eyes Look Younger

You can appear younger by curling your eyelashes and wearing a little glimmering eye shadow. This will make your eyes look bigger and younger. Wear dark black mascara on your eyelashes. If you have sparse eyebrows, you can fill them in with powder.

How to Choose the Right Lip Color

If your skin is dull, nude lipstick and a matte bronzer will look lifeless. Use a neutral rose color on your lips and the apples of your cheeks. This color will flatter any skin tone.

As you get older, your natural lip line can start to fade. This can make your lipstick bleed. You can keep your lipstick in place by tracing your lips with a clear lip liner.
