As the years go by, wrinkles and expression lines begin to take center stage on the face. However, with the necessary care and good makeup that hides the signs of age, you will achieve a fresh and youthful face full of light. Below, we give you the best makeup tricks to look younger.
Best makeup tricks to look younger
Before we tell you the tricks we have for you, we first advise you to follow a facial cleansing and moisturizing routine so that your skin is always prepared before applying makeup. Here is a post with all the steps to follow to show off young and perfect skin.
Primer is the key
The first thing in your makeup routine to look younger is to start with a good primer that helps set your makeup. This primer should hide wrinkles or expression lines, leaving your face even and much brighter . We recommend that you choose one that is light and, if possible, one that reduces the appearance of pores.
Eliminate dark circles
Dark circles and bags under the eyes are a great enemy that often make us look older than we actually are. To get rid of them, it is best to have a concealer on hand. But be careful, because many times, to hide them, we make the mistake of applying too much concealer and this can have the opposite effect, as it will leave expression lines much more noticeable.
To apply it correctly, we recommend that you apply a very thin layer and spread it with small taps. If you need more, you can always add a few more layers. Finally, don't forget to set it with translucent powder . Also, check out our article on how to apply concealer for dark circles because we explain everything much better step by step.
The illuminator
Restore the vitality of your face with a highlighter that will create a rejuvenating effect . Apply it to the forehead, nose, Cupid's bow, cheekbones and the centre of the mobile eyelid. It is best to apply it before the foundation , although you can also apply it afterwards without any problem.
The makeup base
Choosing a foundation that suits your skin tone is the key to looking younger. You should avoid opting for darker shades. It is best to use a foundation that is the same shade as your skin or slightly lighter to provide light and create a rejuvenating effect.
On the other hand, avoid overly oily foundations , opt for those with sun protection and don't forget to always apply it with a sponge so that it is even. By the way! In our post on the best low-cost foundations you will find high-quality products at a very good price.
Colors and shades to look younger
If you want to look younger, avoid very dark shades of eyeshadow in your makeup. Black or brown are serious colors that will not make you look young. However, colors like pink, salmon or blue are much more cheerful and will give light and freshness to your look.
Also, choose matte textures instead of shimmery ones because they blend with the skin much better and hide expression lines more easily. Check out the best eyeshadow palettes here that we have selected for you.
Eyeliner
To paint your eyes, avoid using a black pencil on the lower part and opt for a white one . Also add a little highlighter to the inner corner. This way, you will achieve a look with much more depth.
Don't forget to add volume to your lashes with black mascara to make your eyes look even bigger. A trick for the lower lashes is to only apply the mascara from the center outwards.
The eyebrows
Eyebrows can help a lot to make your face look young if you know how to wear them well. Forget about thin and defined eyebrows and go for thick and disheveled ones , as they provide much more vitality and freshness. You can use an eyebrow pencil in the same shade as your hair to add volume. And if you want, you can create a lifting effect by applying a little highlighter under the eyebrow arch.
Cheekbones
As we age, our cheekbones lose collagen and this causes them to sag slightly. That's why the trick to restoring youthfulness to your face is to apply blush to the upper part of your cheekbones.
Lips
The trick to making your lips look young and full is to outline them with a pencil in exactly the same shade as the lipstick you use. You can use any colour you like, but if, for example, your eyes are heavily made up, it's best to opt for nude tones. On the other hand, if you don't wear much make-up, you can opt for more intense colours that make your lips the centre of attention. Of course, don't forget to exfoliate and moisturise your lips regularly with Vaseline.
