Look younger not older!

Makeup mistakes that make you look older! 

Avoid These:

Heavy concealer under the eyes 

You should not have to pack on concealer to hide your dark circles. If you have to put on layers of concealer to hide your dark circles then that's saying you should try another concealer. Getting the right concealer is sometimes hard because each person has a different problem, skin type/shade. Therefore, keep in mind that just because it works on someone else doesn't mean it will work on you.

I will make a separate post in greater detail in order to give you some direction on what to look for.

Lighter foundation 

Using a lighter foundation than your natural skin will actually highlight any fine lines and wrinkles you may have. A foundation that has a light reflective formula will actually make your skin look younger and will add that extra glow.

Packing on powder

Powder is great for oily skin or to set your makeup. However, if you have fine lines or wrinkles too much powder will emphasize them especially around the eye. Too much powder will also eliminate that natural glow and shine your skin has, and will then make your skin look dry and older. Try using a translucent powder like Make UP For Ever's HD translucent powder.

If you have oily skin and have to use powder, try using a setting spray after. I absolutely love MAC's Fix spray it really get's rid of that powdery look and makes your skin feel great.

Harsh lip liner and brown lipstick

If you overdo the lip liner you will have a harsh look and you will look older. If you are going to wear lip liner make sure your lips have color too, not just an outline of your lips. Having a darker lip liner than your lip color is a thing of the 80s, so let's move on. Lip liner is not meant to be used as your lip color, it is meant to define your lips and avoid your lip color from bleeding. Instead match your lip liner with your lipstick.

Also , avoid brown colors because they will not compliment you and will also bring out the yellow in your teeth.
