Youthful makeup Tips!

We all can get that youthful look if we utilize certain techniques and play around with the versatility of makeup. Makeup can either make us look older or younger depending on how we apply it.
In order to look younger we have to ensure that we get the basics out of the way such as great skin care. Cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing which is important to having a fresh youthful face.
To get a fresh youthful look, always bear in mind that less is more. Apply concealer and foundation where you need it most, blending it seamlessly into the skin. The less foundation used the better as the more skin that is seen the face appears fresher. Be light handed with the powder , only applying it on areas you need it most for example the T zone as a dewier complexion looks more youthful than a matte face.
 To make the eyes appear brighter and wider apply white or nude liner on the lower lash line, don't forget to apply your mascara to make your eyes pop.
For your brows,fill them in with hair like strokes, be careful not to over do it. If you decide against using brow powder, try running a brow gel or clear mascara through your brows to give them a well placed look.
Next comes the blush, color in the cheeks always lends itself to a youthful appearance. Apply your favorite blush at the apple of your cheeks, for that rosy flushed look. To top it off apply a colored gloss for a softer look on the lips

Lipstick not just for lips!

Lipstick is a product that can be used other places than the lip, it can act as a blush if you are caught in a jam and have forgotten to apply blush. If you have a lipstick that is a shade deeper than your lips, just dot some on and blend just like you would your cream blush.

Having lipstick handy at times can be a life saver, it certainly saved my life when I was on a shoot. I remember I was on a particular shoot at the beach and I had only taken the bare essentials such as powder and lipstick just in case for a touch up. I had left the heavy kit behind in the crew bus because to walk on the sand with the case would have been horrific. I didn't realise the director had intentions of shooting the talent in the water and so I was not prepared in terms of the right kind of makeup for the face. I was about to panic as I knew I had left the cream shadows and blushes back in the bus.

As I was about to pass out from panic a light bulb went off in my head, I remembered I had the lipstick and it being of a wax like consistency I used it as a blusher on the cheek and applied on the lips and a touch of color on the eyes just for some color and it worked. You live and you learn and I learned that day to try and be prepared for anything. In some cases it does happen where you are caught in a spot just try to be creative and work with what you have at your disposal. Tweet
