Make-up tricks that wind the clock back 10 years

Simple and smart, these clever tricks will have you looking rested and vibrant in a jiffy.

Conceal crow’s feet

Wave goodbye to heavy cover-ups, which makes lines more obvious, and instead, embrace brightening the area. Use a concealer under the outer third of your lower lashes and a creamy highlighter.

Lift your brows

High, full brows not only define all of your features but they do wonder in making you look more youthful. Have thin eyebrows that are on the lighter side? Fear not. Use a brow powder or pencil a shade lighter than your hair color to fill in sparse areas, then sweep a fine line right above the top of the arch.

Reduce lines around mouth

To diminish the lines that run from your nose to your mouth, apply concealer one shade lighter than your skin over the shadow below the fold only, not over the entire crease. This pro trick reduces the appearance of a defined edge.

Perk up your pout

Sadly the sides of the mouth tend to droop with age so to diminish this, brush highlighter on the corners and concealer just below the outer edges of your lower lip to minimize shadows.
