Use Makeup to Look Older
If you are sick of being mistaken for younger than you are, and want to change this with cosmetics, this is the article for you!
Steps
- Learn what colors of eye makeup look best for your eyes. Pick a color that looks good with your eyes you want it to be in style and make it a bit natural so that people will think that it's natural and apply this color to your lid. Be careful with bright, bright eyeshadows like heavy greens, purples or blues. Unless used subtly and look really good on you, it will often make you look like you've been playing with makeup and your trying too hard to look older. Smokey eye usually makes you look older. Choose a second neutral color to apply to the crease. Then take a cream or white and apply to the brow bone. When you have applied it then take your finger and gently dab at it so the loose powder won't get all over your face.
- Choose the color of eyeliner that you want. Keep it a neutral like black or brown or grey. Pull at the outer corner of your eye and apply the eye liner. Don't glob it on. Then, for the bottom, pull down slightly and apply the liner at the bottom.
- For the mascara, don't glob it on. Move back and forth slightly and then regularly make the lashes look like they are surrounding your eyes.
- For your foundation, if you have any acne, take a liquid that is your color and dab it on not too thickly and then take a mineral or bronzer and a brush and gently tap off the excess. Never blow on your brushes, do you really want to rub saliva all over your face? Then apply the top layer not too thick you want to go for a natural look.
- Use a lipstick that suits you! If this looks heavy on you, try a gloss. If you have a pale, creamy skin tone, a peachy shade will often work on you. For tan skin, a more red shade could look good, or for black skin, purple- reds might look nice. These are guidelines, which may not apply to you.
- You are about to leave; last check in the mirror. Make sure make up is even and it is not blotchy.
- Finished.
Warnings
