Much money has been spent on makeup. And there are all kinds of makeup that have a specific function – to cover up some flaws, to add color, to create an illusion and to highlight certain parts of the face. When you come out of the makeup session, you will see a transformation – of a you that’s better looking.
But stop. Makeup does not only do all the things mentioned above. With today’s makeup, you can also enjoy anti-aging properties. These kind of makeup are filled with aging-preventing ingredients like Botofirm, retinol, vitamin A and vitamin E. They promise to keep the skin younger-looking.
It’s also important for the makeup to have sun protection factor (SPF), as this will prevent the sun from making its damage to the skin. Today, not just the foundation can be anti-aging, even blushes, lipsticks and eye shadows can help ward off wrinkles.
Of course, there are also some things you can do to help you look younger using makeup. One, avoid layering that makeup “with a trowel”. Light and easy is the way to go. This is because overdoing it will result in a caked appearance and that will draw attention to your flaws.
Another helpful makeup property will be its ability to reflect light. With this kind of makeup, light is reflected away from the face. The result will be a brighter looking face. Another step that has a brightening effect on the face is putting on makeup primer. The primer smooths the face so that there are few areas of unevenness and less pronounced wrinkles. It is also prudent to avoid too much use of powder, as this will just point out your flaws.
In addition, use makeup that does not smudge, since smudges make you look older. The dark circles will also be more pronounced if your mascara and eye-liner will smudge into your under-eye area.
With anti-aging make-up, you have additional tools aside from your creams and serums to help you stay young-looking. However, it will still be helpful to do your part in performing the required skin care routine such as cleansing, toning, exfoliating and moisturizing.
