Thanks to Yahoo! we have eight make- up tricks that will do you a whole lots of good. With all due respect to
wrinkle cream you so much love to buy, especially when you've hit that age - 30+, the right foundation or
lipcolour can make you look younger — instantly.
Try a pink lipstick
"Everyone looks younger with cherubic rosy lips," says make-up artist, Christian McCulloch, who works with Demi
Moore and Naomi Watts. If you're fair, slick on a mauve-y rose shade such as Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Sugar Plum, for deeper skin tones, go with a bolder colour like Berry Smoothie.
Apply a natural glow
If your skin seems dull, try a foundation with light-reflecting particles (they're tiny, so you won't look like a showgirl). "They hide flaws and make skin look radiant," says make-up artist Sonia Kashuk.
Any formula labeled illuminating, brightening, or luminous will do the trick. Try Sonia Kashuk Perfecting Luminous Foundation.
Laugh off lip lines
"When you apply lipstick so it has a crisp border, it draws attention to fine lines around your mouth," says Kashuk.
Try lightly dabbing your finger around your lip line after swiping on your shade: It'll make the edges soft — and your smile juicier.
Smooth lids with shimmer
A neutral-colored shimmery eye shadow is like Spanx for crepe-y eyelids: It gives the illusion of tautness.
Use a powder — not cream — shadow one shade lighter than your skin, such as Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Sin (for light skin), Baked (for medium), or Smog (for dark).
Airbrush skin with primer
It makes you look like you're always standing in flattering light, says make-up artist Maria Verel, whose clients include Diane Sawyer. "Primer blurs the appearance of uneven skin and fine lines, so your face seems smoother."
Rub on a pea-size drop after moisturising — even if you don't wear foundation over it. Verel likes Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer.
Fight gravity with eyeliner
"After age 40, eyelids can start to droop at the outer corners," says Sandy Linter, a Lancôme make-up artist who works with Christie Brinkley. Her fix: Line your top lash line with a creamy black pencil, then use a pointed Q-tip to smudge the line slightly up and out past the outer corner "to create a subtle lift."
Use cream blush
Powder blushes, which sit on the skin's surface, can exaggerate the look of fine lines, "but cream formulas sink
into skin to give a dewy finish," says Kashuk.
Brighten eyes with beige pencil
"Big, sparkling eyes convey youth and happiness," McCulloch says. No kidding! His trick: Line the inner rims of
your eyes with a cream-coloured eye pencil
