How to put on makeup and hair to look younger

THE LIFTING EFFECT EXISTS

And it's called nude makeup or anti-aging makeup. It is the one that is limited to correcting imperfections and unifying the skin tone, with small brushstrokes of neutral or natural colors (pink, beige, light brown). Not sure how to get a natural makeup? Check out!

Light textures

To achieve the desired natural or nude makeup, it is essential to opt for a makeup base with a light texture. We tell you what is the makeup base that your skin needs.

Blend well

It is essential to spread both the foundation and the blush or the shadows very well so that they blend with the skin and for that there is nothing like knowing how to use makeup brushes well.

PINK ON LIPS AND CHEEKS, INFALLIBLE!

It is the rejuvenating color par excellence. To curl the curl, you just have to choose the pink that best suits you according to your skin tone because raising the tone more or putting more blush will not guarantee a better face. If your skin is very fair, use pale pinks with a mauve or beige hue. If it is medium or Mediterranean, opt for warm pinks (peach type). And if it is quite dark, you can dare with a fuchsia pink or reddish shades.

FROM THE SAME RANGE

Natural finishes convey lightness and freshness, so the ideal is that the blush and lipstick are the same tone or the latter only a little more raised.

Well profiled mouth

With age, lips lose volume and blur. Use an eyeliner of the same tone or the color of the bar you use to redraw the shape (it will prevent, on the other hand, the color of the lipstick from moving). The definition (contouring) is as important as keeping the lips always well hydrated.

Wrinkles, always at bay

In the mouth, do not neglect the vertical lines that, over time, appear on the upper lip (barcode) and use a lip contour daily (the eye contour also works). On the cheekbones, sometimes we literally go overboard and the blush reaches the eyes, inadvertently enhancing the wrinkles in this area. A blush in the central area of the cheek is sufficient.

GAIN FRESHNESS WITH HIGHLIGHTS

A face with light and juicy effect - makeup artists call it glowy or dewy effect - is synonymous with youth. How to get it? Highlighters are the key, but use them sparingly. An excess of powder highlighter can leave the skin very white and achieve the opposite effect: turn it off. If it is in cream or liquid, too much can give a "greasy" appearance. These are the 10 best highlighters under € 20.

Strategic areas

Ideally, apply illuminating powders (shaking off the excess of the brush) in the central part of the forehead and chin, on the nasal septum and on the cheekbones. In eyes and lips it is better to use the highlighter
in pencil or liquid. With a subtle touch under the arch of the eyebrow and in the "V" of the upper lip you will enhance the look and the smile. Don't miss Ratolina's masterclass where he tells us where and how to apply the highlighter.

Good face effect for inexperienced

If you are one of those who find it difficult to apply highlighter with precision and are always in a hurry, there is a much easier way to end a dull face, which always puts years of age: mix your makeup base with a drop of fluid highlighter with pink tones .

MORE MEAT LIPS

A little shine will rejuvenate your lips. If they are very fine, you can apply a gloss in light pink (they will look larger) or put a touch of transparent gloss or highlighter in the center of the lip on your usual bar.

Density in your eyebrows

Very fine eyebrows age and reduce the expressiveness of the face. Define them well and if you have "holes" or are very clear you can thicken them with pencil, specific shadows or eyebrow mask. And is that wearing your eyebrows like this takes years off you.

THE VOLUME PLAYS IN YOUR FAVOR

VOLUME PLAYS IN YOUR FAVOR

A fine, matte and flattened hair ages. On the other hand, hair with volume - but without frizz - conveys youth and vitality. If your hair is fine, use volumizing hair products (both in the wash and in the final finish). They help to give body and lift roots. When washing, do not rub all the hair, just massage the scalp, otherwise the hair breaks.

Strengthen your hair

Look for products with keratin, which gives weight and "fills" holes, and hydrating ingredients, which swell the hair fiber and give more volume. In addition to this, we have 15 shampoos that will give your hair volume, discover them!

THE YOUNGEST COURT: THE MELENA HALF

Also known as midi, the half-length hair - over the shoulder - triumphs among celebrities for its informal and very rejuvenating air.

HOW TO WEAR IT

If you opt for a straight bob (somewhat higher at the nape of the neck) it is important to give the hair natural movement, which is achieved with layers. And if your hair is wavy or your face is angular, go for a shaggy one , with strands of hair and a tousled effect.

AND THE STRIPE?

To the side, with a fringe that partially covers the forehead, it is an infallible take away years. Although lately the line in the middle has been gaining many points. The key is to clear the hair from the face, because it transmits a more youthful air. Get the hairstyle that triumphs among the famous for an immediate effect that takes years off.

Comfortable and very versatile

A straight hair brings elegance and sophistication - without adding years - and if you opt for a slight wave, it provides a more informal look. Of course, in the French hair version - very short at the nape and in front at the jaw level - square faces should be abstained, since it frames the face a lot and hardens the features. Learn to make the waves yourself at home.

With a lot of movement

In addition to cutting it into layers, combing it with broken waves, with the help of the iron, is one of the easiest ways to achieve the effect of more hair.

THIS IS THE DYE THAT REJUVENATES THE MOST

A warm chestnut, like the ones the actress wears, is always a safe bet. And, take note, blondes don't always take years off, it depends on the tone. The hazelnut color with some light thin strands that provide light, especially in the frontal area, is a very flattering option. If not, it is best to play a couple of shades up or down with respect to your natural color. The important thing is that it is not a single block color and iridescent shades are provided so that the hair looks more natural, with a "sunbathing" effect.

FLEE FROM THE EXTREME

Beginning in your 40s, both platinum blonde and jet black harden features and add years. In the first case, and if your skin is light, it is better to opt for a golden blonde. And if you have a brunette hair and skin, a chocolate brown will rejuvenate you immediately.

Long hair?

Many women think that at a certain age it sets years, but it is not like that. "XXL manes are back on trend. The key to rejuvenating them is to wear them with soft and multi-toned layers, with gradient colors", says Carles Domínguez, technical director of Toni & Guy Spain.

It seems incredible that many of our famous favorites are prettier after turning 40 than at 20, but age, in addition to experience, gives you little tricks to be better every day and with less effort. These are the tricks of the celebrities to appear (quite a few) less years than they are in reality.

Tricks to look younger

Light makeup base. The more dense and covering, the more it will mark your wrinkles. Choose them fluid and exactly the same tone as your skin. And above all, it blends well . It is a trick that you can also apply with eye shadows.
Pink, pink and more pink. It is the color that transmits the most youth. It reminds us of the rosy cheeks of children and therefore of a young and healthy skin. Make your blush and your lipstick more or less the same shade and you will see what a beautiful effect it does.
Hair with volume. Nothing ages as much as dull, flat hair. To give it a new dimension and go from hair to hair, get a layered cut, highlights and use volumizing products.
Sign up for the half hair. If celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Naomi Watts or Charlize Theron have done it, it is because it works. A bob is always rejuvenated and even more so if you wear it layered or wavy.
Highlights. The highlighter can become your best friend if you use it wisely. The best thing is to give a few touches in strategic areas. The most prominent parts of the face (center of the forehead, high area of the cheekbone, arch of the eyebrow, nasal septum and cupid's bow) are the ones that you should illuminate with a little product.
Color for your hair. The chestnut tree is going to be your great ally when it comes to taking a few years off. Forget flat tones and introduce lighter highlights, like balayage, to give light.
