We show the make-up tips that you should avoid if you want to look younger than you are.
Dark lipstick
Many women use lipstick in dark colors. Black-red or blackberry colors often contain a blue cast. This makes the lips look rather thin and cold. Better are the bright, pinkish colors for the lips. This looks fresher and more youthful.
Loose powder
Beware of loose powder because it lays in the small wrinkles and lets them stand out. Better less powder, but use it with a little bronzing effect. That makes the skin radiant.
Big eyebrows
If the eyebrows are too thick or dark, it can quickly make you look austere and old. Although eyebrows are the frame of the face, they are better plucked a bit more discreetly in their old age and should not be darkened.
Glittering eye shadow
Glitter can quickly make you look old. The shimmering particles tend to accentuate small wrinkles and blur contours - bad for sagging skin. Therefore rather put on dull tones around the eye.
Strong make-up
Do not overdo it - because of age, crass color and strong emphasis tend to make you look older. Better to use subtle, light tones. They look fresh and girlish.
