4 Make-up Mistakes Women in Their 30's and 40's Make!

By the time most women reach their 30's & 40's, they find a make-up routine they are comfortable with. But those fine lines and little wrinkles which keep unexpectedly popping up, here are small ways to correct those little mistakes you make ,so that those little lines look less unsightly.

1. Skipping lip liner.
It tends to get a bad rap when it is used incorrectly and you see a noticeably obvious line around the mouth. If you use it correctly, it can prevent lipstick from smearing and bleeding. It can make lips that are thin or starting to lose collagen look fuller. Do use a lip liner with a neutral colored pencil, outline your lips and then be sure to fill in your whole pout with the pencil. Top it up with your favorite lipstick or lip gloss. Your lips will look sexier, fuller, and younger. And you can count on your lipstick lasting longer.

2. Not hydrating enough.
You have probably noticed your skin feels drier than it used to be 10 years ago. Dry skin grabs on to makeup much more, so that wrinkles and pores appear more obvious. The surface of the skin appears bumpy instead of smooth. Hydrated skin allows make-up to blend effortlessly and reflects light all of which makes skin appear younger.
Be sure to prep your skin before applying any make-up with a hydrating primer or balm that smooths skin. By using a primer you'll find you need to use less make-up and it all blends in well, and that your skin is plump with moisture. Don't forget to hydrate with beauty's longtime BFF, water. It benefits your skin from inside out!

3. Liner and mascara under your eyes.
Focus on opening your eyes out with an eyelash curler. Then use your favorite mascara from root to tip to slowly help your eyes look more awake. If you want to add more definition with eyeliner, stick to the top lid alone. Consider using shades like chocolate brown or navy blue. Black is too harsh as you get older.

4. Not exfoliating weekly.
If you don't use a good face scrub weekly, the texture of your face is flaky and uneven. By removing the dead skin cells, the face looks brighter, more even tone, and you will have a natural glow. Whether you use a face scrub or a fruit acid exfoliate, or a hand held tool, it's essential for a radiant glowing make-up finish.

Hope you enjoyed these tips. Keep smiling and have an awesome day.

Love & Peace.
