How to look younger. Learn to put on makeup to hide your age.

Firm cheekbones

We all would like to show off a younger face. Start with the volume of the face, which is lost with age: get a massage to puff up the cheeks. Hold the tension for a few seconds and press with your fingertips so that the air comes out little by little.

Give yourself an anti-aging massage

The next step is to achieve a wrinkle-free forehead: put your index finger and middle finger on the eyebrows and gently move them towards the temples. Repeat the movement as you move up the forehead.

Infallible assets

Use creams that contain the most suitable ingredients: for the morning cream, antioxidants and ferulic acid; for the nights, retinoic acid and retinoids.

One antiaging formula, better than two

In order not to overload your face with anti-wrinkle active ingredients, choose the anti-aging action in one of the two products you use regularly: the makeup base or the day cream.

Light up your face

When you make up your facial skin, remember that the luminosity in the face is basic so that it seems that time has not passed. Use a proluminosity serum so that your skin radiates from within.

Flushed lips

To look younger, opt for lipstick with a vivid natural pigment. Ditch the pale pink, dark brown or violet tones and use colors of a much brighter tone to add vitality to your face.

Use the lip liner

As with age they lose thickness and there are wrinkles that blur their contour, outline them with a pencil of the same color as the lipstick.

A touch of shine

Applied last over lipstick, it creates a fuller optical effect that is also reminiscent of a younger mouth.

Whiten your teeth

Show off a younger smile by whitening your teeth. Another trick is to thin and shorten the edges of the upper incisors and canines.

The secret is in the eyebrows

Keeping your eyebrows bushy and wide suggests that age has not taken its toll. Use a matte shadow of the hair color and, with a beveled brush, fill in the empty spaces in the eyebrows without showing it.

Lashes up!

When the eyelid begins to fall due to age, raised eyelashes are the best anti-gravity strategy.

Better not use pink shade

This color makes a tear effect on the whites of the eyes that adds years to your face.

Be careful with powders

Look for them thin, loose, the same color as the skin, and apply them with a brush, so as not to fall into excess. Going over is guaranteed to accentuate fine lines.

Go for pink blush

Stop applying dark tones under the cheekbones, as this hardens the features. Use pink or fruity tones, which mimic the healthy tone of a young face.

Color in the hands

Cheer up your hands and get involved in the youthful spirit. Put the classic French manicure to rest and start wearing bright colors on your nails for a while.

Express anti-aging cure

If you notice dull skin: use a facial scrub at night, applying it in circles for 2 minutes.

Hair yes, but not very long

The long hair makes an optical effect of fall of the face. Medium long hair and asymmetrical hairstyles with a casual air are the best bet. Get inspired here and dare with the half hair.

Make your hair turn years old

Use anti-aging capillaries even before you notice signs like thinner hair or depopulated mane. There are revitalizing lines with shampoo, mask and serum that contain ceramides, hyaluronic acid, vitamin B3 or keratin.

If you stand in line, highlight the lips

It is a hairstyle that causes a stretching effect, but beware, wearing hair so uncluttered makes any imperfections visible. Paint your lips with a bold color to focus attention on your mouth.

Sideways and bushy bangs

Forward and very scarce will make you look older. On the other hand, to the side, a bit long and scaled, it is very flattering. Softens features and diverts attention from wrinkles.

Remember to sit up straight

If you position yourself well, not only will you benefit your spine, but the people around you will have a more positive perception of you.

The straight back takes you years

A straight posture makes you appear slimmer and saves you back pain, as well as giving you a more youthful air.

"Marry an archaeologist; the older you get, the more he will like you," Agatha Christie said. Ironies aside, it is useless to deny that time passes … and rejuvenating does not necessarily mean going under the knife.

Natural makeup, luminous skin and a contagious smile give off more youth than an ironed forehead or overly puffy lips. Take note of our infallible strategies and you will see how you will never find yourself in the situation of lying about your age.

LIFTING EFFECT MAKEUP

A few drooping eyelids, the lack of light in the face or a too dark base will make you age. For these reasons, using makeup well to subtract years instead of adding them is very important.

If your skin has blemishes, marks or wrinkles, the temptation to cover them under layers and layers of foundation is enormous. However, this only results in an aged looking face. Avoid it by always using a fluid makeup base and in very little quantity.
If you don't want wrinkles to show up and a dull tone to show, make sure your skin is always very well hydrated. Use a fluid foundation after you've applied a good moisturizer.
A little color on the face is flattering, but if you try to get a tan with a dark base, it will add years. Get it right using the base of the same color as your skin, then you will apply blush.
Use toning powders (after moisturizer and foundation) only on the nose, forehead and chin. The rest of the highlights should be left because they suggest a smooth and young skin where the light is reflected, hiding the wrinkles.

REDEFINE YOUR FACTIONS TO LOOK YOUNGER

Over the years, facial volume disappears and features are blurred, so it is important to redefine your features.

Under makeup, put a few drops of serum with vitamin C. It will help you hide the stains that come out over time. These cosmetics also regulate the production of melanin, which makes the spots fade.
If you use powders, look for them fine, loose and the same color as skin. Apply them with a brush, so as not to fall into excess. Do not apply near the barcode wrinkles on the lips and around the eyes.
Over the years, the face becomes thinner and sagging appears, but makeup is a good ally. Use an illuminator to create the optical illusion of more volume. Put it on the top of the cheekbone, in the rictus and between the eyebrows. If you still don't get it clear, don't miss this Ratolina tutorial and learn how to apply the highlighter well.
To eliminate the signs of tiredness, such as dark circles and bags, which add years, use a good concealer of dark circles. It should be hydrating and of the right tone, always a little lighter than the skin tone.

THAT YOUR HAIR DOES NOT DELATE YOU

From 45-50 years it is not mandatory to wear short hair. The medium length is an elegant and flattering option that can take a decade off your look.

Use the side parting. This trick is very successful to subtract years. Let your hair partially cover the outer corner of your face to soften your jaw and keep your features from looking too sharp.
Wave your hair. In this way you will get a natural look, with a little movement, but at the same time very careful. You can add some highlights to your hair to give more luminosity to the face. Natural waves resist you? Olga G. San Bartolomé gives you the keys to get them.

ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS

Unpopulated eyebrows, a very wrinkled neck or an excessive double chin. These traits detract from your youth. Pay special attention to these parts of the body.

Very depopulated eyebrows. A momentary solution is to use eyebrow extensions. This treatment allows, hair by hair, to recover eyebrows of the appropriate thickness and color to highlight the look.
Take care of your neck. Many times we neglect her, but her skin is fragile and ages easily. It loses its firmness and wrinkles set in. Try to prolong the care of the face and reach the décolleté with daily hydration, nutrition and makeup removal; and exfoliation and mask once a week.
Be careful with that double chin. You can alleviate it in several ways: with a liposculpture or a reducing ultrasound treatment, but also with the help of infiltrations. We have more tricks to eliminate the double chin without going through the operating room.
