Makeup has become an integral part of a woman’s beauty. Though, natural beauty remains the prettiest thing for people, make up helps a woman look more attractive, makes her feel good and confident. No one can stop aging and your appearance changes as you grow old. However, you need not lose confidence or devalue yourself because age has affected your appearance, a few good make up tips given here will make you look younger and bring in the same self confidence that was always a part of your personality.

1. Use Moisturizer Before Applying Make Up
It is the most basic thing that every beauty expert will tell you. If you don’t use moisturizer before applying make up, your skin will produce excess oil to combat with dryness that is caused by makeup. Using a moisturizer before applying makeup will revitalize the skin and you will see a healthy glow that will evoke confidence. The type of moisturizer you should use mainly depends on your skin type.

• Normal skin – any good moisturizer
• Dry skin – heavy duty moisturizer
• Oily skin – oil free moisturizer

2. Use Yellow(ish) Foundation The Right Way
As your skin ages, the sunspots and fine lines become more prominent on your face. Generally women tend to use layers of foundation to conceal these imperfections of their facial skin. Excessive use of foundation creates a negative impact on the look of your skin. The excess product dabbed on your face settles down in wrinkles and highlights them. For a smooth younger looking skin, use a yellow tone liquid foundation as it suits most skin tones. Apply the foundation with your fingers as it prevents any kind of product overload on the skin. Be careful while selecting foundation as it needs to match your face and neck. If the foundation does not match your neck, your make up will not blend naturally with the body and your make up may look like it is just sitting on your face.

3. Avoid Tinted Face Powder
Never use Tinted Face powder to set your makeup as it magnifies lines on your skin. Besides, powder absorbs oil and moisture thus making your skin dry. If you are really in favor of using powder, go for a mineral based or translucent powder that brightens the skin.

4. Use Light Colored Lipstick With Lip Gloss
A small gloss in the center of mouth brings out that instant youth look on your face. You can use a lip gloss or a gloss lipstick to get that small gloss on your lips. Avoid using a dark color lipstick as it makes your lips look smaller. You can use a pink or suave tone lipstick and use lip gloss to add shiny finish.

5. Stay Away From Dark Eyeliners
Eyeliner is one of the important makeup tools. It makes your eyes look wider and adds intense dramatic look to your eyes. Dark makeup can make you look older. To be on safer side, go for lighter shades. You can opt for brown eyeliner instead of black. Brown shades of eyeliner gives a natural and soft look to your face. You need to be careful while using the eyeliner as thicker lines will make your eyelids look heavy. You can skip lining the lower lash line.

6. Using Color Blush The Right Way
A right color blush shade can add youthful look to your face. Since your face loses fat as you grow older, you need to rub the blush along the highest point of cheekbones to make your facial bone structure stand out. Women with dark skin tones can go for berry or coral shades while women with lighter and fairer skin tones can go for peaches or rosy pink shades. Be careful while applying bright blush shades as that can look bit unnatural, if not applied in the right manner.

7. Use Different Concealer For Spots And Under Eye Circles
Hiding blemishes, dark circles and redness is a key to getting a younger looking skin. You can use a pot concealer to hide the blemishes and redness of your facial skin. Don’t use the same trusted pot concealer for hiding dark circles under your eyes. The pot concealer has a heavy consistency which is too much for the delicate skin under the eyes. You can go for a sheer concealer formula specifically intended to hide dark circles under your eyes.
