For the holiday, many women want to add freshness and shine to themselves with bright makeup, but they get an “anti-effect” because their face looks older. Therefore, before the New Year, it is important to know which “beauty tricks” really work and which only harm. A professional makeup artist shared in his Telegram channel “About Makeup and Cosmetics” (18+) how not to add extra years to yourself.
Matte texture
If you matte your entire face, it becomes “flat” and tired. Wrinkles and pores are immediately noticeable, and the skin looks dull.
What to do: Apply a little highlighter to your cheekbones, corners of your eyes and above your lip. Your face will immediately sparkle and look fresher.
“Vigorous” shadows
Blue, purple and other bright eyeshadows often accentuate fine lines and make makeup look outdated—like something out of the 80s.
What to do: It is better to choose calm shades: beige, golden, peach or light brown. They refresh the look and make the eyes more expressive.
Cool shades
Not all cool shades are harmful. They can be very stylish if applied correctly. The only problem is that sharp transitions and lack of shading really add age.
What to do: Mix cool and warm colors. For example, add silver to the middle of the eyelid, and highlight the crease with brown or gold. This way the makeup will look harmonious and modern.
FAQ: We answer the main questions:
Is it possible to use highlighter after 40 years?
Yes. But it is important to apply it a little and only on the protruding parts of the face.
How not to “overdo it” with glitter in makeup?
Apply radiant products only pointwise and be sure to blend the edges.
