From our tutorials, we all can confirm that makeup can transform. This makes one wonder if it can make you look younger. I would say yes if done with the right tools and the right tips. You do not need to be an expert to pull this off as there are a few things that would make you look 10 years younger.
1. Stop the Use of Powder
The use of powder is to coat and mattify our faces. This is why powder is best for people who have oily faces. However, as we grow older, the rate of oil production reduces drastically. Adding powder to an oil-less face makes it dry and dusty look which in turn makes one look older rather than younger.

It is advisable to use a setting spray in place of powder. A setting spray will help keep your makeup intact. An important tip is to add an extra layer of moisturizers on dry parts of your skin before applying makeup. This would help eliminate fine lines on your face. Also use liquid foundation, cream brushes, and bronzers.
2. Use Translucent Powder Lashes
Now that you have decided to stop using powder on your face do not be quick to throw it away as it is still useful. You can apply a loose powder on your lashes before adding mascara. This way, your lashes get to appear thicker. If what you have is a pressed powder, you can loosen it up with a clean mascara wand.

5. Try This instead of Fake Lashes
It is advised to do away with applying layers of mascara or messy fake lashes every day. They consume a lot of time and tend to give you that artificial and unnatural look which is unattractive. There are many eyelash enhancers in the market, and this even makes it difficult to know what works and what doesn’t.
