Makeup can surprisingly add or subtract years when it comes to a person’s appearance. Here are some simple tips to make you look instantly younger. Keeping your own look in mind – skin tone, hair colour, etc. adapt your products for a flattering and natural look and you’ll notice how young you look without any effort!
- Go Natural With Colours
Harsh black eyeliner and mascara can be ageing around the eyes – instead opt for slightly lighter shades. A brown mascara can take years off, and switch a classic black or grey smoky eye for a bronze or rose tint eyeshadow to create a less harsh contrast.
- Liven Up Your Complexion
Give your skin some warm colour with a blush (on the cheekbone) and bronzer (below the cheekbone to create shadow). Blushers and bronzers will warm up your complexion and make your skin look more peachy.
- Fuller Eyebrows
Thin eyebrows can be prematurely ageing – if you don’t have naturally full eyebrows, try an eyebrow pencil in a shade close to your natural eyebrow hair colour. Lightly shade in and shape to your desired thickness.
- Go Natural
Opt for a natural look. Caking on foundation and adding layers of mascara just adds on years. Instead go for a light layer of foundation, a nude lip and light eye makeup. Take your inspiration from Cate Blanchett – she never looks as though she is wearing much makeup and still looks flawless and youthful.
- Use Tinted Moisturizer as a Base
Applying a light layer of tinted moisturizer before you apply foundation will give your skin a fresh youthful glow. There are also BB Cream products that combine products that are light and simple to use.
