12 Tips to Look Younger with Makeup

Look Younger with Makeup

Everyone knows that good anti-aging skin care can improve skin condition, firmness, and minimize wrinkles, and you’ll also be pleased to know that with the right make-up, you can look much younger than your years.

Many people think that if you apply more foundation, you can successfully hide sun spots and age spots, but this is not true! The less makeup you wear, the younger you will look, the main thing is to use the right products suitable for mature skin.

Check out these twelve makeup tips to help your skin look healthy and radiant.

Forget contouring.

Contouring has passed its stage – now we are talking about a softer image. Previously, the trend was hard contouring, emphasizing the cheekbones, and now – the effect of no makeup or lighter makeup. Instead of contouring your face with shadows, go higher with blush and bronzer. As a result, you will achieve the effect of an uplifted, younger look.

Use matte textures

Although shimmery and luminous formulas are all the rage right now, let’s save them for young girls whose radiant skin will look flawless. Unfortunately, the more shine in the product, the more enlarged the pores will appear, betraying age. Therefore, for more mature skin, it is better to use matte textures, in particular bronzers.

Be careful with setting powder

Setting powder can be a godsend when you want to even out your complexion and remove excess shine from bare skin. However, if you apply such a powder to set the foundation, then the skin will get the effect of layering products – the “layer cake effect”, which will eventually lead to the appearance of fine wrinkles.

To use powder gently, apply it gently under the eyes to prevent the concealer from rolling. But on other parts of the face it is better not to use powder at all if you want your skin to look natural and healthy.

Don’t use too much foundation

While it may be tempting to apply a ton of foundation, remember that doing so can accentuate fine lines. Don’t use too much foundation, just make sure it’s evenly applied and spot-cover sun spots if you have any. Be sure to moisturize your skin well before applying foundation. Use a cream with a slightly pink undertone, this will give the skin a little radiance and make it look more youthful.

Use cream blush

While cream blush can help achieve a more natural look, try to apply it gently. Blending is the key to achieving a more youthful look, so it’s important to use a good makeup brush to evenly apply and blend the product.

Apply cream blush in pink and peach to the apples of your cheeks and lightly brush your makeup brush across your forehead. This will give the face more color, and the makeup will look bright and fresh.

Avoid using dark shadows

While sultry smokey eyes are a timeless classic, dark shadows should not be used, as they are easy to spread and can accentuate wrinkles around the eyes. Instead, opt for lighter and softer shades – plus brown and gray eyeliners to help keep the look clean.

Draw lips with lip pencil

Lip liner can seem like a tricky makeup tool to use, but it’s easy to master if you know where to start. The secret to applying lip liner accurately is to make sure the lip color is as close to your lip color as possible.

Once you’ve found your lip liner shade, tint them with a lip liner, then apply the lip liner directly over the eyeliner, and use gloss or light lipstick on top to make lips look plumper and instantly rejuvenated.

If you want to achieve a natural glow without putting tons of highlighter on your cheeks, you can add some facial oil to your foundation to make your skin look dewy and bright. Apply two to three drops of facial oil to foundation, this will give the makeup a youthful glow and perfectly moisturize the skin.

Carefully draw eyebrows

While full and defined brows look great at any age, be extremely careful when drawing your brows if you want your look to look clean and natural. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t add volume to your brows, just use a skin-colored brow pencil to fill in your brows just a little. This will give them a more elevated look.

Powder blush is another product that should be applied carefully. Too much product can make the complexion appear vulgar, so it is important to apply a small amount to the desired areas. Apply blush to the top of your cheeks and pull back to make your face appear more angular, this will help define your face.

Change your lipstick shade

Yes, it’s true that dark lipstick can make you look sexy. However, it is better to replace the vampire plum or brown tones with more neutral shades. Dark shades of lipstick look a little rough on aging skin, adding age to you. Neutrals and soft pinks, on the other hand, can help you achieve a more youthful look as they instantly make your skin look brighter and clearer.

Undoubtedly, highlighters can make your cheeks glow in seconds. However, you should use highlighters with caution, and in no case should you use products with glitter.

Use a non-shine liquid or cream highlighter if you want to achieve a satiny glow. While it may be tempting to apply more product on the cheeks, I advise you not to use highlighter on textured areas, as it will increase the visibility of enlarged pores and wrinkles.
