Anti- Aging Secrets

Here are 4 simple things that may have you looking older than you should when applying makeup, with 4 easy fixes to keep you looking fabulous.

The number 1 thing on my list and the biggest mistake that dolls miss would be not filling in your brows. The older you get the thinner your brows become, by shaping your eyebrows your face becomes more youthful. You can fill them in by using a pencil or eye shadow the same shade of your hair, with short strokes where the hair is missing for a more well-defined look. 

Number 2, using a cream concealer can settle into fine line and wrinkles under the eye and may cake up depending on your skin type, which can make you appear older.  By using a liquid concealer this will minimize lines and going for a lighter shade with a tint of yellow or peach will offset any dark circles. If you are someone with really dark circles I would recommend using a serum day/night. This will help bring your natural color back under the eye as well as reduce wrinkles and always remember to use a moisturizer for the face as well as under the eyes. This will keep your skin feeling radiant.   

Number 3, incorrect placement of blush and highlight can really make you look older than you should. Many dolls apply blush on the lower part of their cheek bones which actually gives the illusion of a pulled down  face and too much is just a not right. Simply use a natural fiber brush to give the appearance that your actually  blushing which is the look you want to go for. Also make sure your blush is not too red or orange, colors more like a rosy champagne color and tinted peach will work well with any skin tone. Remember to always "highlight" the top planes of your cheekbone which will give brightness to your canvas and "contour" the hallow parts of the face (underneath) the bones for a more structured look.  

Last, but not lease using a base foundation plus a cover-up powder on top of your base can appear "cakey" and a tad bit too much. Using a translucent non tint powder with your base can not only diffuse light but applied with a natural fiber powder brush can really give you a flawless youthful look you've always wanted.
