Hi Ladies

 

When it comes to applying make-up there are a few key points that you can follow to achieve a fresher younger look, whether you have had surgery or not

:

  • Apply thick mascara to your top eye lashes only and not to heavily to your bottom lashes. This creates a lifting upward illusion to the eyes. (Mascara on the bottom lashes also smudges making you look tired and older.)
  • Use a dark eye shadow and a small firm brush to apply as your eyeliner.  Pencils tend to come off the skin easily - they are waxy and smudge making your make-up appear messy
  • By shaping your eyebrows you open and lift the eye area creating a mini eye lift
  • Use a loose powder rather than a compact powder, compact powders apply a heavier layer of make-up onto the skin and cake into fine lines and wrinkles
  • The more foundation you wear on your skin, the older it will look.  Make-up cakes into fine lines on the skin.  Liquid foundations work best
  • Opt to wear a loose powder over your foundation.  Loose powder reduces the shine on the skin.  Shine attracts light to the lines on your face and this illuminates them.  A matte face is a fresher younger looking face
  • If you don’t have a lot of eyelid visible when your eyes are open, use a highlighter like cream or white to create the illusion of more lid space.  The light shade will also make your eyes look fresher
  • Concealer can be applied over your eye lid and crease area.  It numbs any pink or dark skin over the eye surface. This trick is used my make-up artists to make clients eyes look younger and fresher
  • Use pinky or peachy toned blusher on the apple of your cheek to lift life and color into your face
