Makeup is great for changing your appearance, particularly around the eyes. Reshaping your eyebrows can make you look a lot younger and if your eyebrows are thinning then use a cosmetic pencil to fill in any sparse areas. You can also use a brow powder to blend the pencil to look more natural.
Concealer can help to hide age spots and dark patches. If you have any dark circles under your eyes then try a creamy color concealer that has peach or yellow undertone. Don't use concealers that are too light for your natural skin tone.
Once you have applied the concealer then apply some foundation with a powder to seal it. Don't use too much powder as it will highlight any flaws and lines in your skin. A cream blush is much better than a powder blush as the powder blush can also highlight the lines in your face.
Dark lip colors can make your face appear harsh and bring out the imperfections in your skin so it is best to stick to lighter shades of lip color. Adding a little lip gloss to the bottom lip will make your lips appear fuller.
Keep your skin hydrated and in good condition by drinking lots of water and using a good moisturizer daily. Make sure that your foundation is a moisture rich mix. Too much foundation will bring out any lines and make you appear older so apply foundation lightly.
