You should forget about these makeup habits: they make you look older

We all want to look young and fresh. Makeup is a great tool that can help us do that.

However, improper use of some cosmetics can have the opposite effect, emphasizing wrinkles and visually adding years to our appearance. English makeup artist Wayne Goss told the Daily Mail what mistakes you should avoid in order not to ruin your makeup.

Sometimes minor mistakes in makeup can add not just one or two but up to ten years. You'll be surprised to learn which makeup products designed to hide imperfections actually emphasize them.

Metallic shadows

Metallic or shiny eyeshadows emphasize even the smallest wrinkles and creases in the skin very well. Therefore, if you don't want to visually age yourself, use matte eyeshadow. They don't attract too much attention and don't go off your face as much during the day. As a result, the matte finish masks imperfections rather than emphasizes them.

Concealer

Using the wrong shade of concealer is one of the most common mistakes Wayne Goss sees in everyday life. As a rule, women use shades that are too light and emphasize the folds around the eyes.

In addition to choosing a concealer to match the skin tone, the makeup artist also advised to pay attention to creamy textures rather than liquid ones.

Primer

Many people forget to moisturize their skin before applying makeup, and then they don't understand why cosmetics began to crack, accumulate in wrinkles, and look much worse. Moisturizers are important at any age, especially if your skin has already started to lose elasticity.

Therefore, before applying makeup, be sure to use a moisturizer and primer that will act as a barrier between your skin and makeup. This will help your makeup stay put all day long.

In addition, the next time you decide to replenish your makeup bag, look for cosmetics with an ingredient such as hyaluronic acid.
