You must have gone through a lot of articles on how to look younger. Most of them suggest to use sunblock daily, to eat lots of green leafy veggies and fruits, to drink gallons of water, to use quality skin care and beauty products et al. But if the crows feet and sun spots have already started appearing on the skin, there are probably not many ways to stop the ageing process or to reduce the damage that already happened unless and until we get cosmetic surgeries done. So the only thing you can do is to conceal your age, that is through makeup!

But any sort of makeup wont do, in fact if not properly done, you can look older than you actually are. Thus, here are a few makeup tips on how you can look younger.

1.       Starting with foundation, avoid using just a tinted moisturiser, as that wont help in any way to make you look younger. Medium to heavy coverage foundations are ideal that helps in concealing all the fine lines and the visible veins which comes to the limelight as the skin gets thinner.

2.       Silicone based foundation adds dewiness to your face making you look more bright and radiant.

3.       Matte faces are passé, so avoid loading your face with compact or pressed powder. Instead you can use loose powders judiciously (read sparingly).

4.       A concealer makes the appearance of crow’s feet less so apply concealer to the crow’s feet in an upward motion. Crow’s feet are generally darker and are angled downwards.

5.       For brighter eyes, skip matte eyeshadow, and go for a bit shimmery mauves instead of the old browns.

6.       Use a brown or black eyeliner along the lash line on the upper eyelids, and angle the outer corners of the line to an angle of 45 degrees. This gives an illusion of lift to the droopy eyelids.

7.       Curl your eyelashes, as generally the eyelashes get scanty and thinner with age. Wearing falsies is another great option as it gives the illusion of lifted fuller eyelashes. You can just put on falsies on the outer V areas.

8.       A dash of bright cheek color i.e. blush helps you in looking youthful.

9.       Applying a bit of gloss on the centre of your lips makes you look sexier and younger.

10.   Avoid wearing dark lip colors like reds or plums, stick to lipcolors which have a hint of pink in it.
