SIX MAKEUP TIPS TO LOOK YOUNGER
These
aren’t just make-up mistakes those over 25 years shouldn’t sport, but
they can actually make you look considerably older. Turn them on their
head, and you can look five years younger in an instant. Here’s how:
1. Go easy on foundation
Too much foundation is wrong on anyone, no matter what your age. It
looks cloggy, muddy and well, just overly made up. As though you’re
trying to hide something. Worst of all, it’s ageing.
Lighten up your look by applying just a second-skin amount, building
up coverage where you need it, and leaving it more on the sheer side
where you don’t. You could even try mixing foundation with a little
moisturiser before applying it, for “your-skin-but-better” finish.
2. Skip powder
A matte finish is one thing; caked on powder that settles into fine
lines and enhances them is altogether another. Skip powder in favour of a
hydrating, velvet-finish foundation formula
3. Lighten up on mascara
Overdoing mascara is ageing and harsh, particularly if you use black,
or go all out with colour and wear green or blue. Alternatively, a
light coat or two of a natural but defining brown shade creates a
wide-awake, natural and youthful eye.

4. Avoid shimmer, frost and sparkle
Once again, these things looks gorgeous on girls under 25, but on a
woman, they can be super ageing. Swap them for soft, matte tones and
neutral hues for a fresh faced, youthful look.
5. Steer clear of matte lipstick
Matte lipstick is not only drying on the lips, it can make them
appear thinner, which is automatically ageing. It can also emphasise any
lines hat you may have around the mouth. Instead, slick on a
cream-formula lipstick that has a little gloss to it
.
6. Ditch liquid liner
As with overdoing mascara, liquid liner can look harsh and ageing.
Better instead to gently smudge soft, brown kohl or cream liner to the
outer rims of your eyes, outer corner only, to create a bright-eyed,
fresh look.
