1.Forgo Thick Foundation
If you still slather foundation directly over aging skin, you’re likely adding years to your look. That thick top coat tends to break into deep cracks, which look far worse than the fine lines you’re trying to hide. Instead, apply moisturizer, primer, then a light liquid foundation for additional skin-plumping moisture. Ryland suggests tapping it in gently with a sponge, rather than rubbing it in.
2.Avoid Clown Eyes
Applying flattering eye makeup requires precision. Unfortunately, eyesight tends to decline with age. «If you don’t see as well, you may not get the makeup on correctly,» Ryant says. The results can include clownish amounts of eye shadow or crooked eyeliner. The solution: «Get yourself a good magnifying mirror.»
