Looking young (can make you feel younger)

Apply moisturizer before foundation. Wait for ten minutes to allow the skin to absorb it.

Cover flaws like pigmented patches with a foundation, or concealer that is a shade lighter than your skin tone.

Use a creamy foundation diluted with a drop of water for lighter and smoother coverage.

While choosing foundations go for beige or golden tones avoid pinks.

Avoid powders if your skin is dry, but apply a soft shade blusher on the cheekbones going outwards and slightly upwards.

Go for the soft look while applying eye make-up. Avoid eyeliners, use eye shadow or eye pencil to line the upper lids. Draw a line close to the lashes.

Avoid harsh black eye pencils, go for brown or grey shades instead.

Mascara helps to brighten eyes. Use a brush to separate the lashes for a natural look.

Redefine the lip line with a lip pencil and fill in with lipstick, using a lip brush.

Very dark lip colors, especially blue tones have an aging effect. Very light colors are also a no-no. Go for burgundy, plum, coral, bronze, copper or coffee shades.
