There are tons of tricks to help you look younger, daily self-care, sports, eating the right foods, cosmetic surgery, and of course, various beauty products. To this day, using beauty products remain the most popular with female consumers, and are pretty affordable, at least compared to other tricks on the market. Here are 20 makeup tricks to help you look younger.
20. Get the perfect foundation
It is important to choose a foundation that goes well with your natural skin tone. A foundation that is too light will make you look sick but if you have a foundation that is too dark, the foundation will harden your facial traits and make the shadows of your skin stand out which will make you appear older.
19. Choose the right mascara if you wear glasses
Opt for a volumizing mascara to get thicker lashes, not a lengthening one. You don’t want your lashes to constantly stick to your lenses.
18. Apply foundation so your glasses don’t slip off
Wear foundation on your nose so your glasses don’t slip off your nose. You can also add a translucent powder after the foundation to make this trick work even better.
17. Buy a yellow corrector
Do you wear glasses? Most of the time, glasses will create a shadow under your eyes. Use a yellow corrector to remove those annoying shadows.
16. Opt for a concealer
Choose a concealer that has a creamy and hydrating texture and that is a bit lighter than your foundation. It will help hide your tired eyes but also illuminate your under eye area and the other areas you wish to highlight.
15. Open your eyes
Counter the effects of aging with a lengthening mascara. This will extend your lashes and curve them, which will open your eyes.
14. Maintain your eyebrows
Yes, your glasses frame your face, but your eyebrows frame your glasses. It is important to take care of them. Take out your eyebrow pen, your gel, your powder or any product you use and make sure you keep them looking flawless.
13. Avoid powder beauty products
When you start getting older, it is better to use products that have a hydrating texture (cream blush, creamy foundation, and a hydrating concealer) to make your skin glow. There exists many products on the market that contain formulas made for aging skin. The more you hydrate your skin, the younger it looks.
12. Get a glowing complexion
Add some glow to your skin by applying some highlighter. Place it on these areas of your face: right under your eyebrow, the inner corner of your eye, your cupid’s bow, the bridge of your nose, and the hollow part of your chin.
11. Choose the right lipstick
We suggest you avoid these 2 types of lipsticks: nude lipsticks and lipsticks that are too dark. Nude lipsticks tend to make you look washed out and very dark lipsticks harden your features.
10. Curl your lashes
Open your eyes with an eyelash curler. Use it before applying your mascara.
9. Avoid putting eyeliner in your waterline
You should not put some eyeliner in your waterline for many reasons: it makes your eyes look smaller and it accentuates the small lines under your eyes. Replace your black eyeliner with a white eyeliner so your eyes will look bigger and brighter.
8. Opt for eyeshadows with a satin finish
Pearly and frosty eyeshadows tend to accentuate fine lines. Choose satin finish eyeshadows.
7. Open your eyes wide
Open your eyes wide when you’re putting your concearler under your eyes and close to your nose. After, add some pale eyeshadow in the interior corners of your eyes and blend.
6. Choisissez-le flou
Eyeliner is a very interesting beauty product. We suggest you choose a dark brown, black or dark grey eyeshadow on your eyelids and put it on with a bevelled brush. It will make you look younger than if you just did a classic cat eye look.
5. Use a tinted moisturizer to help hide the pesky red marks left by your glasses
Apply a beauty balm all over your face but concentrate on covering specific areas like the area around your nose. This way, if you take off your glasses anytime during the day, you won’t have those annoying red marks that glasses tend to leave on the side of your nose.
4. Take excess makeup off your face to avoid having makeup on your glasses
This is particularly important to do on your nose and on your cheeks, since that’s where your glasses sit.
3. Swap your pressed powder for blotting papers
When you use pressed powder to get rid of the shiny areas of your face, you also end up hiding the light reflecting areas of your face that give you a youthful look. Swap your powder for some blotting papers. They will take off the excess oil without making your fine lines stand out.
2. Prevent your mascara from leaving clumps on your glasses by using a creamy and waterproof formula
There are 2 reasons why your mascara is leaving clumps on your lenses:
- It is old. You should change your mascara every 3 months.
- It’s not a creamy formula and there are no hydrating ingredients.
1. Choose a natural-looking blush
Don’t apply some blush unless you’re still in high school and never apply some maroon or red blush. Opt for colours that fit well with your natural skin tone or for a creamy formula to get a nice finish.
