Why does makeup make me look so much older? 🥺

Any makeup artists/pros wanna tell me why? 🥺 Am I doing something wrong?

After a while, you will wish you could look a lot younger, and you will learn those makeup tricks. For starters, keep your lipstick light, or just use lip gloss. If you need blush on your cheeks, choose a lighter color. Pale pink is usually a good choice. Do not use a lip liner.

Women who want to look fresh and dewy sometimes dot a very, very light or white concealer in both corners of their eyes, and blend that in lightly.

Never use black eyeliner. Choose colors like pale green or taupe for your eyeshadow. Find a brush with an angled tapered tip, and wet it lightly, then use your darker eyeshadow shade as eyeliner.

If you feel as though your eyes are disappearing, you can take a black crayon, (Covergirl Ink It!), and line the insides of your lash lids...UNDER the lashes.

Sometimes this is enough, at your age you probably don't need mascara. But if you do, apply it very lightly. Choose 1 or 2 shades darker than your hair.
