AGEING AND BEAUTY

Start with a primer
If you are old enough for laugh lines, a skin care makeover can give you a fresher, younger look.Our skin dries and thins with age, so products used five years ago may look quite matronly today. A better routine calls for skin primer. A high quality primer fills in small wrinkles, making them less visible.

Forego thick foundation

If you will slather foundation directly over ageing skin, you are likely adding years to your look. That thick top coat tends to break into deep cracks, which look far worse than the fine lines yuo are trying to hide. Instead, apply a moisturiser, primer then a light liquid foundation for additional skin plumping moisture. tapping it gently with a sponge, rather than rubbing it in will do the trick!

Avoid clown eyes
applying flattering eye makeup requires precision. Unfortunately, eyesight tends to decline with age. "If you don't see as well, you maynot get the makeup on correctly", the result can include clownish amounts of eye shadow or crooked eyeliner. The solution is "get yourself a magnifying mirror"

Enhance the shape of the eye
As we age, the eyelids tend to droop, so the goal is to draw attention away from the lid and toward the actual eye. Eyeliner is the key. Apply it in a thin streak along the line where the lashes begin, top and bottom. this iwill enhance the shape of your eye an creatthe illusion of thicker lashes. Use soft shades and a light touch when applying eye shadow.

Put eyebrows back on
Eyebrows are extremely important because they frame the face but the brows ten to grow thinner and greyer with age. To put eyebrows back on use eyebrow pencil that complements your hair colour.

Don't let lips bleed

Few things draw attention to wrinkleslike bleeding lip color. This happens like because lipstick is a cream and it tends to slip into any low spaces including the lines around your lips. To keep color from travelling, use moisturiser, then coat the lips with foundation before applying lipstick.
