Age Trickery Tips

It's actually what you ARE doing that's giving a wrinkle illusion. (And we don't want that). There are 5 main culprits on the chopping block if you are finding that you appear older or tired after you've applied your makeup.

1. LIPSTICK IS TOO DARK

Did you know dark lipstick will make you look so much older than you actually are? Vampy lips are passable in your teens & 20’s, but if you’re creeping up to the “three oh” go for gloss, naturals and brights.

2. WRONG FOUNDATION COLOUR
This can make even the most prettiest, young face appear like a hungover clubber after a hard night. Make sure you buy two great foundations - one a few shades lighter for the winter months (or when you can't be bothered to get a spray tan), and one a few shades darker when you get the aforementioned spray tan. Now mix!

3. WRONG COLOURS

If you are fair skinned with a pink/beige undertone never wear "warm colours" (orange, bronze, apricots) as these will make you look ill. Instead opt for pinks, violets & plums. The reverse applied to darker & tanned skins.

The right colours & tones will always take years away

4. UNCURLED LASHES

Really, what is 60 seconds out of your day for an instant face lift? Curl those lashes! They will open your eyes right up. Hint: Slightly warm a metal lash curler with your hair drier and press to curl, this will accelerate the curl time and will hold better. Make sure it's not hot! Just a little warm.

5. BAD BLUSH CHOICE

Don't go overboard, just choose a colour that is the same as you would naturally flush to. Unsure about this? Exercise for 15mins and voilà! There it is!
