“How To Look Younger...
The Natural Way”

     We all want to look younger... but have you ever noticed how "anti aging" can practically be a full-time job?

     If you want to learn about various ways to look younger... faster... and in a NATURAL way, then listen up.

     For starters, learn how to avoid the most common mistakes many women make when they're "trying" to look younger.

     Here are the top four:

     1. Wearing Odd "Youthful" Colored Lipstick...

     Lipstick colors are NEVER okay if they fall within the purple, black or orange color range. A lot of women attempt to wear these colors but they are aging and distracting to the face in every case.

     The answer to wearing lipsticks that will make you look youthful and gorgeous is following a more natural color scheme. Apply colors that have a little brownish tone. Red should have a little blue in it so it does not appear orange.

     While on the subject of lips, you may want to give the appearance of fuller lips by extending your lipstick or lip liner a bit above and below your natural lip line... BUT if you wear lip-gloss, be sure you are applying it only within the natural lip line, not outside.

     This is a subtle yet effective method but it should not be overdone. When you extend over your natural lip line, "powder down" over it so that it will look more natural and blend in. If you don't, the unnatural lip line will be very noticeable.

     2. Iridescent, Bright Colored, or Odd Eye Shadow...

     Anything bold, overpowering or unnatural can easily age the face.

     Even beyond the aging factor, eye coloring with these attributes can make the face unattractive and sometimes tacky.

     No matter the shape or size of your eye, with proper make-up techniques and brands, they will look more youthful and beautiful. Remember, your eyes have to steal the show and you must not let eyeshadow overpower that.

     A few simple rules to maintaining a youthful look are: wear natural colors, wear eyeliner to bring out the eyes, and wear mascara.

     The best natural tones are soft off-white or light tones on the lids, brown or gray tones above the lids spread a little above the bone.

     Never wear black eyeliner... dark brown looks just like black yet it gives a much softer, hued look.

     The same goes for mascara except in this case, black is acceptable. If your own lashes aren't thick enough, try out fake lashes.

     3. No Eye Make-Up...

     So we've just discussed the dos and don'ts behind proper make-up but I want to be sure you understand that at least SOME eye make-up will make you look younger. It makes us appear alive and more glamorous.

     If you aren't the type to wear a lot of make-up, try just wearing some mascara on your lashes or some light eye shadow. The look is rather manageable so long as you stay away from the colors we've banned!

     4. No Blush, Too Little Blush, and Putting It In The Wrong Place...

     One of the biggest problem areas among women is the "blush controversy."

     Some women worry about putting too much on and others, not enough. There is a fine line between how much and how little to wear.

     The other issue that a lot of us have is knowing just WHERE to put it. If you don't know, the placement of the blush on your face can make you look a lot older and downright tacky.

     A nice alternative for older women is a cream blush or a cream rouge. This alternative provides more control for evenness, smoothness and allows you to control the amount your put on.

     Never, ever wear a blush with glitter or shine in it as it really shows lines and wrinkles and may be too overpowering to the beauty of the face, skin and make-up.

     When using blush or rouge, apply it where the sun would make your face appear naturally rosy. Apply the color to your cheekbones- somewhat over and under them- and taper off towards your ears. Also, add a little bit to the top of your forehead.

     The one last area you should target is applying a small amount of blush to your neck to make it look like it belongs to your face... this will provide you with the ultimate glow.

     Allowing Your Face to Shine...

     We talk a lot about keeping the skin moisturized to provide a more youthful look. The other side to this is that more and more women today are wearing an oily or shiny face in public as they think it keeps their skin looking younger.

     You do NOT need to wear a shiny face to keep your skin youthful. A shiny face can actually make your face look older because the shine plays up the wrinkles and lines on your face, exaggerating them beyond a normal look and feel.

     To keep skin looking youthful without the oil field, follow this skin care regimen before leaving the house to go to any event or function:

     Cleanse the face and neck with an astringent to remove all oils. Apply a good moisturizer and apply make-up in your usual way.

     Next, powder down to blend makeup colors and to take off the shine. Make sure you press the powder into the skin and not wipe it.

     What the powder does is lock in the moisture and helps protect it from escaping during the day. It also helps to protect your skin from the sun's rays (nice bonus!).

     The best saying that fits this topic is "you are as old as you feel"... but sometimes, we do need a little help along the way.
