Add ten years: three makeup mistakes that adult women often make

The main purpose of makeup is to make you look fresher and younger, to hide imperfections and emphasize your beauty. But sometimes we can make ourselves look visually older with our own hands if we use makeup incorrectly.

At a young age, this may not play a big role, but with age it becomes more and more noticeable. Makeup artists name three of the most common mistakes. OBOZ.UA asked what mistakes they mean and what they advise to avoid them.

Eyeshadow with a metallic sheen

Eyeshadows with a metallic effect can emphasize wrinkles around the eyes and visually add age. Instead, it is better to choose matte options. You should also pay attention to the creamy texture. It is more convenient to apply powder over such eyeshadows, which will create an additional matte effect. But in no case should you blend it with your finger - a special brush will give a better result.

Too light concealer under the eyes

If you choose a concealer that is too light for the under-eye area, it can visually add extra years. Such an application draws attention to the "crow's feet", and in the worst case, it gets into these lines and emphasizes them. Therefore, choose a concealer that matches your skin tone and apply it in a thin layer. Don't forget to add a drop of this product to the inner corner of the eye to make your eyes look more open and clear.

Avoid moisturizing and primer

As skin gets drier with age, moisturizing becomes an important step in your skincare routine. Moisturizing ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, should be included in both care and makeup products. In terms of makeup, this means that there is a growing need for a good primer. It will act, in particular, as a barrier between the face and the layer of cosmetics, which will retain moisture in the skin and allow the makeup to stay on better and not slip into fine wrinkles.
