TIPS FROM LAUREN AND NICOLE,
The fabulous makeup artists at Cosmetic Laser MD
Makeup can do wonders to cover skin flaws, imperfections and even common signs of aging when done right. But, if you're using colors that aren't age appropriate or flattering to your skin tone, or if you're using too heavy of a hand when applying, you may be doing yourself a disservice, making you look older than you really are.
So what are the secrets to looking younger with makeup?
Steer clear of blue. Blue eye shadow has an immediate connotation of bad makeup. Unless a professional is doing your makeup or you really know what you're doing, it's best to stick with neutral earth-toned colors.
Lay off the glitter. Glittery shadows, which are different from those with subtle shimmer, can settle into fine lines, making them more pronounced. Subtle shimmer in a light neutral color, and applied with a very light touch, is an instant eye-booster.
Wear similar shades of lip liner and lipstick or gloss. We’re still stymied by women who insist on the dark liner, lighter lipstick look. It’s aging, unflattering, and invariably plays UP any feathering of the lip line – not a good look for ANYONE! We generally like a lighter touch, especially in summer. If you are used to using a liner, try one that matches your gloss or lipstick exactly.
Try these colors for a younger look: champagne, peach and light copper tones.
