While we may all agree that age is just a number, the fine lines and wrinkles staring back at us in the mirror can cause us to lose sleep. While vitamin C, retinol, co-enzyme Q-10, and other anti-aging treatments can help prevent and diminish the signs of ageing over time, makeup can significantly help conceal signs of ageing such as age spots, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and wrinkles instantly. We've compiled a list of 12 Makeup Tips To Make Skin Look Younger and Youthful in this post.
1.Never Forget To Moisturize: Moisturization was critical for your skin in your twenties, but the importance of moisture increases tenfold as your skin matures. Nobody wants dry, sagging skin that accentuates the appearance of wrinkles. As a result, always properly hydrate and moisturise your face prior to applying any type of makeup. Moisture fills in sagging and dry patches, giving your face a more supple and youthful appearance.
2.Select Hydrating and Moisturizing Cosmetics: As proper moisturization and hydration are critical for mature, sagging skin, you should switch from matte to moisture-based makeup products. The first significant adjustment must be made to your foundation. You must opt for hydrating/moisturizing creams or gel-based foundations. These foundations will give your skin a supple appearance while also making it look glossy rather than cakey. Even the foundation application must be done with care, with an emphasis on sagging or wrinkled areas. Powder makeup ages the skin.
3.Choose a Gold or Yellow-Toned Foundation: One of the most noticeable characteristics of mature, ageing, and sagging skin is that it turns red or ashy when most makeup products are applied. Therefore, all that is required to correct it is a gold or yellow-toned foundation that will counteract the greyness and ashiness. Not only will the gold toned foundation act as a colour corrector, but it will also give your skin a subtle glow. The colour, glow, and luminosity effectively conceal sagging facial skin and make it appear youthful.
4.Use a Creamy Concealer: As your skin begins to sag and wrinkle, a concealer becomes an indispensable item in your vanity. A concealer can effectively conceal all signs of ageing and give your face a youthful glow. It is critical, however, to choose creamy, moisture-based concealers. Avoid powder-based concealers because they will accentuate the skin's dryness and patchiness, making it appear older. As a result, the most effective makeup trick for your under eyes, crow's feet, dark spots, or sagging skin may be a cream-based concealer.
5.Use Pencil Eyeliner to Awaken Your Eyes: Sometimes, all you need to do is awaken and brighten your eyes to deflect attention away from your skin and create an overall younger appearance. You can accomplish this effectively by utilising eye pencils. You'll want to apply a n*de eye pencil to the inner rim of your eyes to instantly awaken them. To bring out the colour of your eyes, apply a dark coloured line along the upper lash line. Lining your eyes with these two colours will draw attention to your eyes and instantly conceal sagging skin, giving you a younger appearance.
6.Apply Vaseline or Highlighter to High Points: As your skin sags, your bone structure becomes more prominent, which is actually a blessing in disguise. Utilize this fact to your advantage by applying shimmer or highlighter to the high points of your face, which will draw attention away from the sag. Apply a highlighter to the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, the centre of the forehead, and the cupid's bow using a fine brush. If you do not have a highlighter on hand, you can create the illusion of a perfectly highlighted face using our trusty Vaseline.
7.Use an Eyeshadow Base: As your skin sags and wrinkles, you may find it difficult to apply eyeshadow due to the creasing and highlighting of wrinkles. However, never let your age prevent you from pursuing your dreams. All you need to do is apply a generous layer of eyeshadow base to your lids prior to applying the shadow. It will smooth and even out the creases while also counteracting the darkness around the eyes. As a result, once the eyeshadow is applied, your eyes will appear more youthful than ever.
8.Replace Powder Blush with Creamy Blush: Use peach and pink blush and blend well after dotting on the apples of the cheeks to add freshness and brightness to the entire look.
9.Incorporate Non-Comedogenic Facial Oil into Foundation: Adding one or two drops of a non-comedogenic yet nourishing facial oil (rosehip oil, sweet almond oil, for example) to the foundation will help give the entire look an incredible glow and hydration.
10.Fill in the Eyebrows: Women frequently overlook eyebrow filling, but fuller, filled-in brows have the same effect as a facelift. Additionally, use a lighter shade eyebrow pencil, such as taupe or brown, to achieve an anti-aging effect.
11.Choose Neutral or Pink Lipsticks: On mature skin, soft pink lipsticks, coral tones, and neutral shades will appear youthful.
12.Apply Concealer in Strategic Locations to Lift the Eyes: Rather than applying concealer under the eyes in a triangle shape, apply concealer to the inner and outer corners of the eyes, as well as the corners of the nose and lips, to give them a nice lift.
