In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to determine the age of women without knowing it for sure. And, it would seem, why do we need him, because age is what it is considered bad form to ask a woman about. And that is why all the mystery of age can be both a plus and a minus for a woman.

Why?! Let's figure it out!

The perception of us by others depends on a number of factors - manner of communication, style of dress, appearance, self-confidence.

Makeup is one of the components of one big puzzle called "the image of a person." Makeup is an art of transformation, with the help of various techniques you can allow yourself to be different every day, or you can choose your own style and always follow it.

Make-up is the very "magic" tool in the hands of a woman, allowing to hide the existing flaws and highlight the advantages.



Surely, you have more than once seen in social networks photos of stunning transformations using only brushes and cosmetics. Particularly indicative are the work not on 18-year-old models, but the transformation of women into aged 45+.

If you now have a widespread belief in your head that young people are all beautiful, but with age everything becomes different, then throw it out of your head and forget. To make sure of this, look at the stars who, over the years, not only have not lost their beauty, but have also discovered new facets of their appearance (Renata Litvinova, Kristina Orbakaite, Evelina Khromchenko, etc.)



In order to understand how to avoid mistakes in your daily makeup that will more than throw you 5-7 years old, you first need to figure out how facial features change with age:

1. An undeniable sign of youthfulness and freshness of the face is an even complexion. With age, redness, rosacea, and age spots begin to appear on the skin.

The most common mistake is the refusal to use tonal means that even out the tone of the face, in favor of transparent powders. If you don't want to overload your skin with a dense foundation, I recommend paying attention to tonal fluids. They even out skin tone without weighing it down. The photo shows a vivid example of the appearance of a face with pigmentation and with an even skin tone, achieved with the help of a foundation.



2. Another difference between a face at 20 and at a 45+ is volume. Plump lips, firm cheeks are a sign of youth. With age, the oval of the face, losing elasticity, falls, the volume disappears, and there are more natural shadows on the face.

Even if a 10-year-old girl is brightly painted, actively working out the oval of her face with a dark sculptor, she will look much older. That is why it is better to avoid working with dark colors in age-related makeup. I advise you to give preference to pinkish-peach shades that refresh the face. And sculpting is easy to do, slightly overestimating the line of the sub-zygomatic correction, thus visually raising the oval of the face and making the cheeks more elastic, as, for example, in the photo by Sharon Stone.



3. The most obvious age-related change is the appearance of expression lines around the eyes.

Here, a mistake that is found everywhere is shining shadows on the eyes. It should be remembered that wrinkles are a relief, and shining particles only emphasize this relief and exaggerate your small wrinkles, making them more noticeable.

Pearlescent lipstick falls into the same category. To look younger, it is better to change the shining eyeshadows to matte ones, and the pearlescent lipstick to the moisturizing one with the now topical wet finish. Juliana Moore's makeup can be considered a very successful example.



You can make out a huge number of mistakes, but it's better to follow the trends and love yourself.After all, stylish, well-groomed women with glowing eyes always look young.
