How to Look Younger with Makeup

Who doesn't want to look younger, right? Well, did you know that just by changing the way you use your makeup you can look years younger? No kidding! Try these tips and you'll see a difference.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 
    
   See the lines around the eyes? Too much foundation.

   Take it easy on the foundation. Many women think that they should add more layers of makeup as they get older to look younger. This isn't true. Layers magnify flaws and make lines look deeper.
   Use a dot of concealer on trouble spots and use a shear foundation everywhere else to even out skin tone.

2. Skip the powder. Powder makes already dry faces look even drier. It also makes lines stand out.

3. Avoid harsh colors. Black, green, red and violet eye shadows can age you faster than any other type of makeup because the make you look harsh. Try softer versions of these colors such as gray, sea foam, pink, and lavender.

4. Use brushes to apply makeup. Brushes give you a light, even layer and use less makeup, giving you a softer, prettier look.

Tips & Warnings

• Use neutral shades of eyeliner and lip liner for a prettier, anti-aging look.
